Privacy Policy — PDF Tools

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Developer: 99ers Studio

Overview

PDF Tools ("the App") is a PDF utility application. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we handle it.

Data Processing

All PDF processing — merging, splitting, compressing, signing, watermarking, and all other operations — happens entirely on your device. No files are uploaded to any server. Your documents never leave your phone.

Data We Collect

### Analytics (minimal) We collect anonymous usage data to improve the app:

Which screens you visit (e.g., "home", "merge")
Which tools you use (e.g., "compress", "watermark")
App crash reports

This data is collected via Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. It contains no personally identifiable information — no names, emails, file contents, or file names.

### In-App Purchases Subscription purchases are processed entirely by Google Play or Apple App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information. Purchase validation is handled by RevenueCat, which receives only your anonymous app user ID.

### Advertising The free version displays banner ads via Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers for ad personalization. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings. Pro subscribers see no ads.

Data We Do NOT Collect

File contents or file names
Personal information (name, email, phone)
Location data
Contacts or calendar data
Photos (only accessed temporarily when you use Image to PDF)
Browsing history

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties, except:

Firebase (Google) — anonymous crash reports and usage analytics
AdMob (Google) — ad serving for free tier
RevenueCat — anonymous subscription validation

Data Storage

No user data is stored on our servers. Analytics data is stored by Firebase under Google's privacy policies. Temporary files created during PDF processing are stored locally and cleaned up automatically.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The App contains no age-restricted content.

Your Rights

Since we collect minimal anonymous data, there is little personal data to manage. If you have concerns, contact us and we will address them promptly.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted here with an updated date.
