We may collect anonymous usage statistics about the types of documents processed and features used to improve the App, but this information will not contain any personal or document content information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the App: We use your information to operate and maintain the App, fix bugs, and enhance the features and functionality of the App
- To personalize your experience: We use information about your usage patterns to customize the App and provide you with relevant content and features
- To communicate with you: We may use your contact information to respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and send you important updates about the App
- To protect our users and the App: We use information to detect, prevent, and address security issues, fraud, and other illegal activities

3. How We Share Your Information
We understand the importance of keeping your information private and secure. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties except as described below:
3.1 Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as:
- Cloud storage providers to enable backup and synchronization features
- Analytics providers to help us understand how users interact with the App
- Customer support services to assist with user inquiries
These service providers are contractually obligated to protect the confidentiality and security of your information and are only permitted to use your information as necessary to provide the services we have requested.
3.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (such as a court or government agency). We may also disclose your information to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users, or to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App.
3.3 Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or the sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

3.4 With Your Consent
We may share your information with third parties for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

We take the security of your information seriously and use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Encryption of data transmission and storage where appropriate
- Access controls to limit who can access your information
- Regular security assessments and updates to our systems
- Local processing of PDF documents to minimize data transmission
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the App at your own risk.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to provide the App and its features, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When determining the retention period, we consider the type of information, the purpose for which we collected it, and any legal requirements.
PDF documents and other files you process using the App are stored locally on your device and are not retained by us unless you explicitly use cloud backup features. If you choose to use cloud backup, your documents will be retained until you disable the feature or delete your account.
