This Privacy Policy explains how AllPDF.tools ("we", "our", "the app", "the service") handles information when you use our website at https://allpdf.tools or our Android application ("the app").
Short version: We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell your personal data or your documents. All PDF processing happens entirely on your device. Files you open in AllPDF.tools never leave your device.
AllPDF.tools is developed and operated as an independent project. For any privacy-related questions you can reach us at: allpdf.tools@proton.me
The app and website are designed to work without collecting personal information. Specifically, we do not collect:
Every PDF tool in the app (merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, scan, edit, sign, redact, protect, etc.) runs entirely on your device. Your files:
You can verify this by using the app with your device in airplane mode — every tool continues to work offline.
When you use the built-in document scanner or "Image to PDF" tool, the app requests camera permission. Camera frames are used only for live preview and capture, and are processed on-device. No camera data is transmitted off the device.
The app requests storage permissions so you can open PDFs and images from your device and save processed files back. Access is limited to files you explicitly pick.
The app uses the internet only for:
No file contents or personal information are sent over the internet.
The app stores the following locally in your device's app-private storage (inaccessible to other apps):
This data never leaves your device. Uninstalling the app removes all of it.
Pro features are unlocked via in-app purchases processed through Google Play Billing. When you make a purchase:
The Android app contains no advertisements and no ad tracking SDKs. The website version at allpdf.tools displays Google AdSense banners; Google may set cookies for ad personalization on the website only. The app does not use AdSense or any other ad network.
The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has somehow provided us with information, contact us and we will confirm no such data exists (since we do not collect data at all).
Because we do not collect or store your personal data, most data-subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability) are not applicable — there is nothing on our servers to access or delete. All your data lives on your own device and you control it directly by using Android's standard app controls (Settings → Apps → AllPDF.tools → Storage → Clear Data).
If you believe we hold data about you, you may still contact allpdf.tools@proton.me and we will respond within 30 days.
We do not transfer your personal data internationally because we do not collect it. Purchases made through Google Play are processed by Google under their own international data transfer framework.
Since your documents never leave your device, they are protected by your device's own security (lock screen, disk encryption, app sandboxing). The app uses Android's app-private storage for internal state, which other apps cannot read. Android 12+ backup exclusion rules prevent sensitive state (such as Pro entitlement) from being copied to cloud backups.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app's update notes and at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
This policy is intended to meet:
