PDF Tools Privacy Policy
1. Scope
This policy explains how PDF Tools for Android handles files, saved signatures, image exports, purchases, temporary app data, and support messages. It applies to the Android app and not to the VeloTract website.
2. Files and documents
PDF Tools reads only the files, photos, and camera captures that you choose through Android system interfaces. Your documents, handwritten strokes, entered text, dates, and exported images are processed on your device. The app does not upload them, put them in a server queue, or use them to build a profile. The app creates local working copies and results to complete each task. Temporary workspaces are cleaned when they are no longer needed, and stale workspaces are removed when the app starts.
Saving a reusable signature is enabled by default when you finish drawing one. You can turn off saving for that drawing or delete the saved signature from the app. Turning off saving keeps any previously saved signature. The reusable signature image is encrypted in private app storage and excluded from Android's standard cloud backup. Normal task cleanup does not delete it. Deleting the saved signature does not change PDFs you already created. Saving exported images adds new copies to the shared Pictures folder; the app does not read your other gallery images. Files you explicitly save or share remain under your control. Signature images, entered content, and exported images are not written to logs or crash reports.
3. Data we do not collect
- No account, registration, or developer profile is required.
- We do not send automatic developer analytics, advertising identifiers, persistent identifiers, location data, or crash reports.
- We do not inspect, retain, or sell your document content beyond the on-device processing and optional signature reuse described above.
4. Google Play purchases
If you buy Pro, Google Play processes the purchase and provides the app with the transaction state needed to unlock the product. PDF Tools stores the minimum entitlement state needed to restore access on this device. Payment credentials are handled by Google Play; PDF Tools does not receive your card or bank details.
5. Support messages
If you contact support, you choose what to include in your message. Support email is handled through your configured email provider. We use the message to answer your request and do not add you to a marketing list.
6. Children
PDF Tools does not knowingly request personal information from children. The app has no account system, social features, or targeted advertising.
