Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how PurePDF ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the PurePDF - Merge & Extract mobile application ("the App"), available on Apple's App Store. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
Effective Date: February 22, 2026
Developer Information
PurePDF is developed and maintained by an independent developer. For any privacy-related inquiries, you can reach us at support@purepdf.org.
Data Collection and Usage
PurePDF is designed with a privacy-first architecture. The App performs all PDF operations — merging, splitting/extracting, compressing, and image-to-PDF conversion — entirely on your device.
We Do NOT Collect:
- Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Device identifiers or unique IDs
- Location data
- Usage or behavioral analytics
- Your documents, photos, images, or any file content
- Browsing history or search queries
- Contacts, calendars, or any other on-device data
In summary: PurePDF collects zero data from its users. Your files are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with any server or third party.
On-Device Processing
All PDF operations are executed locally using Apple's native iOS frameworks. Your documents never leave your device. Temporary files generated during processing are managed by the iOS operating system and cleaned up automatically. Output files are saved to your device through Apple's standard file management APIs.
Third-Party Services
PurePDF does not integrate any third-party SDKs, services, or frameworks that collect user data. This includes, but is not limited to:
- No third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel)
- No third-party advertising networks
- No social media SDKs
- No crash reporting tools beyond Apple's own built-in system
We rely solely on Apple's anonymized and aggregated App Analytics, which are only available if you have opted in to share analytics with developers through your device's iOS Settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share With App Developers).
Data Sharing and Disclosure
Since we do not collect any data, we have no data to share, sell, rent, or disclose to any third parties. We do not participate in any data broker networks or advertising exchanges.
Data Retention
PurePDF does not retain any user data on external servers because no data is ever collected or transmitted from the App. All files processed by the App exist solely on your device under your control.
Children's Privacy
PurePDF does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). The App is safe for users of all ages as it does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar international regulations.
Your Rights
Because PurePDF does not collect any personal data, the traditional data subject rights (access, correction, deletion, portability) under regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws are inherently satisfied. There is simply no personal data held by us to access, modify, or delete.
If you have any concerns about your privacy while using PurePDF, please contact us and we will be happy to address them.
Security
The security of your documents is ensured by the App's offline-only architecture. Since your files never leave your device and no network connections are made during PDF operations, there is no risk of data interception or server-side breaches related to PurePDF.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
