1. Introduction
PDF Viewer ("PDF Viewer", "the App", "we", "our", or "us") is developed and provided by AVEN TECH.
This Privacy Policy explains how PDF Viewer accesses, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the App.
PDF Viewer is designed primarily to process and manage PDF documents locally on your Android device.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us:
2. Information the App Accesses
PDF Viewer may access information on your device that is necessary to provide its document-management functionality.
Depending on the features you use, this may include:
- PDF documents that you choose to open or process
- File names
- File sizes
- File modification dates
- File locations or document URIs
- Information necessary to read, create, modify, rename, delete, or share documents
The App does not require you to create an account.
3. How We Use Your Files
PDF Viewer uses access to your files to provide features including:
- Opening and viewing PDFs
- Image to PDF
- Merging PDFs
- Splitting PDFs
- Compressing PDFs
- Adding watermarks
- Password-protecting PDFs
- Removing PDF passwords
- Renaming PDFs
- Deleting PDFs
- Managing recent and favorite documents
- Sharing PDFs
PDF processing is performed on your device using the App's local processing functionality.
We do not operate a server that receives or stores your PDF documents as part of these features.
4. Local Processing
PDF Viewer is designed to process your documents locally on your Android device.
Your PDF contents are not automatically uploaded to AVEN TECH or stored on our servers.
For example, when you password-protect a PDF, the processing takes place on your device rather than requiring you to upload the document to us.
5. File and Storage Access
PDF Viewer may request Android file and storage permissions when necessary for its document-management functionality.
These permissions may be used to:
- Find and access documents
- Read PDF files
- Create or modify documents
- Rename files
- Delete files
- Read file metadata
- Save processed documents
The App uses Android's storage APIs, document APIs, and MediaStore where applicable.
On supported Android versions, the App may request broader file access where required for its document-management functionality.
You can manage the permissions granted to PDF Viewer through your Android device's settings.
6. Recent Files and Favorites
PDF Viewer stores certain information locally on your device to provide features such as Recent Files and Favorites.
This may include:
- PDF file name
- PDF file URI/location reference
- File size
- Recent access information
- Favorite status
- Reading-related information
This information is used to provide the App's functionality and is not transmitted to our servers.
7. PDF Sharing
PDF Viewer allows you to share a PDF using Android's system sharing functionality.
Sharing occurs only when you explicitly choose the Share option.
When you initiate sharing, Android passes the selected document to the application or service that you choose.
The receiving application or service may have its own privacy policy and data practices, which are outside our control.
8. Support and Feedback
If you choose to contact us through the App's Help & Feedback feature, the App prepares an email addressed to:
The support email may automatically include:
- App version
- Android version
- Android SDK version
- Device manufacturer
- Device model
You may also voluntarily include additional information in your message.
This information is used to help us respond to your request and diagnose technical problems.
The email is sent using the email application available on your device.
9. Information We Do Not Collect Automatically
The current version of PDF Viewer does not require or use:
- User account registration
- App account passwords
- Contacts
- Phone call information
- Location information
- Camera access
- Microphone access
The current version also does not include advertising, analytics, Firebase, or Crashlytics functionality in the application components reviewed for this Privacy Policy.
10. Third-Party Services and Libraries
PDF Viewer uses Android system components and software libraries necessary to provide its functionality.
These include libraries used for PDF processing, document access, and the Android user interface.
PDF Viewer does not currently use advertising or analytics services to track your activity within the App.
When you voluntarily share a document with another application or use your email application to contact support, the privacy practices of that third-party application or service apply.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App.
PDF documents are processed locally on your device whenever the App's functionality allows.
We do not intentionally transmit your PDF documents to AVEN TECH servers.
However, no electronic device, application, or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Android device and for deciding which documents you share with other applications or services.
12. Data Retention and Deletion
PDF Viewer does not require a user account and does not maintain a server-side account containing your documents.
Files created or modified by the App remain on your device according to the actions you take.
You can delete documents using the App or through Android's file-management functionality.
Locally stored App information, such as recent and favorite document information, may be removed by clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App, subject to Android system behavior.
Information that you voluntarily send to us through support email may remain in our email systems for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to, document, and resolve your support request.
13. Children's Privacy
PDF Viewer is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through a support request, please contact us at:
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App's functionality, data practices, or applicable requirements change.
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
You should periodically review this Privacy Policy for any changes.
