Privacy Policy

Plumleaf PDF lets you open, edit, convert, organize and protect PDF files. You choose which files the app works with, using Android's file picker or photo picker, or by opening a file in Plumleaf PDF from another app. Opening, editing, converting and saving all happen on your device.

While you work on a file, the app keeps a temporary working copy in its private storage on your device. Working copies are deleted when you finish a task and each time the app starts. The app never changes your original file unless you choose "Replace the original" and confirm.

Passwords you type to open or protect a PDF are held in memory only for that session. They are never saved or logged.

The app also keeps, in its private storage on your device only:

What	Why
Your settings	Remember choices such as appearance
Names of recently opened files	Let you reopen them quickly (you can clear them)
Signatures you choose to save	Sign documents again without redrawing
Workflows you create	Run several tools in a row
Which tools you use most	Suggest them first (you can clear them)

The developer runs no servers and never receives your documents or any of this data. There is no analytics or crash-reporting software in the app, and no Plumleaf PDF account.

Plumleaf PDF does not request camera, storage, photos and media, contacts, location, microphone, SMS or phone permissions.

• Files and photos: you pick them with Android's system file picker and photo picker, which give the app access only to the items you choose.
• Taking a photo: "Take photo" opens your phone's own camera app; Plumleaf PDF receives only the photo you take.
• Internet: used only by Google's advertising tools described below. Your documents are never sent over the internet by the app.

The app shows ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and use:

Data	Used for
Advertising ID and app set ID	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
IP address (approximate location)	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
Ad views and taps	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention
Device and ad performance information	Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention

• If you are in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland or another region where it applies, you are asked for consent through Google's consent form. You can change your choice later in the app under Settings > Privacy options.
• If you are in a US state with a privacy law that applies, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your data through Google's privacy message.
• Ads are limited to a "PG" (parental guidance) content rating or lower, and dating, gambling, get-rich-quick and sexual ad categories are blocked.
• You can reset your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Android Settings.

Learn more in Google's policy: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Plumleaf PDF is not directed at children under 13, and does not knowingly collect their data.

The developer holds no user data, so there is nothing for the developer to delete. You control your data:

• Delete your PDF files to delete the data in them.
• Clear recent files and tool suggestions in the app, and delete saved signatures in the signature list.
• Uninstall the app to delete everything it keeps in its private storage on your device.

Your documents stay on your device, in the app's private storage that other apps cannot read. Network traffic for ads is handled by Google over HTTPS.

This policy may be updated. When it is, the effective date at the top will change and the new version will be posted at this same address.
