            Key Point: PDF Toolkit is designed with privacy in mind. All PDF processing happens locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal files or documents to any external servers.

PDF Toolkit processes PDF files and images that you select on your device. These files are:

Processed locally on your device only
Never uploaded to our servers or any third-party servers
Stored in your device's local storage in the Downloads/PDFToolkit folder
Under your complete control - you can delete them anytime

1.2 Device Permissions

The app requests the following permissions:

Storage Access: To read input files and save processed PDFs
Internet: For displaying ads (free version) and processing in-app purchases

We do not access any other data on your device.

We do not collect analytics, crash reports, or usage statistics. Your app usage remains completely private.

Storage: Processed files are saved to your device's Downloads/PDFToolkit folder
Purchases: Google Play tracks your subscription status to unlock Pro features

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, or disclose your information to anyone. Your files never leave your device. The only data shared is:

Both are governed by their respective privacy policies.
