Privacy Policy for iPDF

Last updated: May 5, 2026

iPDF ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application handles your information.

Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. All documents and files processed by the app are stored locally on your device.

Permissions

The app requires the following permissions to function:

• Camera: Used solely for scanning physical documents. Images are processed locally and are not transmitted to us.
• Photo Library: Used to allow you to import images or PDFs from your device for processing.
• Notifications: We request access to notifications to alert you when text extraction is complete while the application is active in the background.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to provide advanced functionality:

• Default OCR: The default OCR service uses the iPDF server for text extraction. No files or images are retained, and they are deleted from the server immediately after processing is complete.
• Google Gemini API: We use this service for AI-powered text extraction from your documents. When you choose to extract text, the content of the document is sent to Google's servers for processing.
  • Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information on how they handle data.
• Mistral AI (if selected): Used as an alternative OCR provider.
  • Please refer to Mistral AI's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage

All scanned documents, extracted text, and library items are stored locally on your device using your device's internal storage mechanisms (Hive and Shared Preferences). When you uninstall the app, this data is removed (subject to your OS backup settings).
