PaperDock PDF

Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to PaperDock PDF for Android and related developer support. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean the developer identified on the app’s Google Play listing. Processing depends on the installed version, services used, Android environment, permissions, and privacy choices. This policy does not replace separate in-app disclosures or consent where required.

2. Documents, images, and signatures

File browsing and search may involve file names, types, locations, sizes, and modification dates within the access you grant. Reading or processing a document involves the contents needed for your requested operation.

The app provides PDF reading, Word-to-PDF and image-to-PDF conversion, PDF-to-image conversion, merging, splitting and page reordering during splitting, and insertion of handwritten signatures. Images selected or captured for conversion and signature marks you create or select are processed for the corresponding task. Documents, photographs, and signatures can contain sensitive personal information.

Access for a document operation is not consent to use private contents for advertising. Local access is distinct from network transmission. Any separate off-device transfer of private content requires an explanation of purpose and recipients and any consent required before transmission. If you send or export a file to another app or recipient, the destination handles its copy independently.

3. Permissions and local app records

File or media access supports browsing and processing selected documents or images. Where requested by the installed version, All files access supports relevant document operations and remains subject to Android’s restrictions on protected storage. Camera access, when requested, supports taking photos for conversion.

Permissions can be denied or revoked in Android settings, which may limit related functionality. Permission alone does not establish that every accessible file is collected. Recent-file references, favorites, and reusable signatures may be retained as app data to support those features. Output files can contain the document contents, images, or signatures you included.

4. Advertising and third-party SDKs

PaperDock PDF includes advertising SDKs. Depending on SDK configuration, settings, and consent, advertising providers and service partners may receive advertising identifiers where permitted; IP address; device model, operating system, app version, language, and network details; approximate location inferred from IP address; ad requests, impressions, clicks, and other advertising interactions; and crash or diagnostic information.

These data may leave the device for ad delivery, frequency control, measurement, reliability, and fraud prevention. Personalized advertising may occur where enabled and legally permitted, with consent where required. Non-personalized ads may still involve technical processing.

Document, camera, and media permissions do not authorize advertising providers to receive private document contents, photos, or signatures. Manage available in-app consent controls and Android advertising settings. Resetting or deleting an advertising identifier does not necessarily erase previously collected provider records. External advertisers apply their own notices to information you provide directly to them.

5. Technical information and support

The app or integrated components may process device characteristics, app and Android versions, language, network information, interaction events, errors, and diagnostics for service operation, compatibility, troubleshooting, and misuse prevention. Networked components may transmit relevant records to their providers.

Contacting support provides the developer with the contact details, message, and attachments you send. These are used to respond and investigate. Avoid sending passwords or unnecessary confidential documents, signatures, or sensitive information.

6. Purposes, recipients, and transfers

Information supports requested document services, support, advertising, technical reliability, security, and legal obligations. Recipients may include providers supporting these activities, and authorities where disclosure is legally required. Disclosure may also be necessary to address fraud or security incidents, protect legal rights, or support a change in app ownership, subject to applicable safeguards and notices.

Depending on local law and purpose, processing may rely on providing the requested service, legitimate interests, legal duties, or consent. Providers may process information outside your country, subject to transfer safeguards where legally required.

7. Retention, deletion, and security

Information is retained for as long as necessary for its service, support, security, advertising, or legal purpose. Retention differs by category and recipient. Advertising providers manage their records under their own practices and legal obligations.

Use available app controls to manage locally retained information. Clearing app storage or uninstalling generally removes app-specific local records, but not necessarily exported files, shared-storage images, backups, or information already held by remote providers. Delete saved output files separately if no longer needed.

Contact the developer to request deletion of information held by the developer. Proportionate verification may be required. Limited records may remain where legally required or necessary for security or legal claims. Personal information requires appropriate technical and organizational safeguards. No device, storage system, or network transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Choices and privacy rights

You can manage permissions, use available advertising and consent settings, choose which files to process or send to support, and stop using the app. Withdrawing consent affects future consent-based processing without invalidating earlier lawful processing.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection to processing, or opt out of processing classified as sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Contact the developer to exercise applicable rights. Where available, you may appeal through the same contact route or complain to a privacy regulator.

9. Children and policy updates

The app is intended for a general audience, not directed to children below the age requiring parental authorization under applicable law. Contact the developer if you believe a child provided information without necessary authorization, for investigation and appropriate action.

This policy may change with app practices. Revisions will show an updated effective date. Material changes will be communicated and consent obtained where required; continued use alone does not replace required consent.

10. Contact

For privacy questions or requests concerning PaperDock PDF, open its Google Play listing and use the developer contact or app support details. Include the app name and a concise description without unnecessary sensitive information.
