Core PDF tools process your documents on your device. You do not need an app account. The app does not include advertising or third-party advertising/analytics SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information.
You can choose to share files, use Apple services, back up your device or contact support. Those actions may send information outside your device. Visiting this website also involves requests to our hosting provider, as explained below.
1. Documents and information on your device
PDF Reader stores imported or created documents and related information in the app's local storage. This can include file names, folders, thumbnails, extracted text, annotations, saved signatures, reading position, preferences and local usage limits.
Scanning, OCR, PDF reading, annotation and core document operations run on your device. Unlocked document text may be indexed locally to support search and Apple's Spotlight. App-locked documents are removed from that index. The app does not automatically upload your document library to a developer-operated server.
When you use document protection, password verification information is stored in Apple's Keychain rather than as a plain-text password. Face ID and Touch ID authentication are handled by Apple's system frameworks; the app does not receive your biometric template.
If you import from a cloud storage provider, export a file, use the system share sheet or open a link, the destination you choose handles the shared information under its own policy. Ordinary app data may also be included in iCloud or computer backups according to your device settings. These copies are separate from the app's local files.
2. AI, translation and Apple services
On supported devices, document questions and summaries use Apple's on-device Foundation Models. These features require a compatible device, iOS 26 or later and available Apple Intelligence. PDF Reader does not send those prompts or document contents to a developer-operated or third-party cloud AI service.
Translation uses Apple's Translation framework; language resources may need to be downloaded. Read Aloud uses Apple speech services and installed voices. Availability and supported languages depend on your device and Apple's services.
For ordinary, unprotected documents, Apple Handoff can make the document title, identifier and current reading page available to your other Apple devices. App-locked and file-encrypted documents are excluded from this activity. You can manage Handoff and related Apple services in device settings.
Apple handles its own platform, service and diagnostic information under Apple's Privacy Policy and your Apple privacy settings.
3. Device permissions
- Camera: to scan pages when you choose the scanning feature.
- Photos and selected files: to import or export the content you choose. System pickers control access to selected items.
- Face ID or Touch ID: to authenticate access to protected documents when enabled.
- Notifications: optional local reminders, including a trial reminder if you enable it.
You may decline optional permissions or change them later in iOS Settings. Features that need a declined permission may be unavailable. The app does not use these permissions for advertising.
4. Subscriptions and purchases
Apple processes PDF Pro purchases and restores through the App Store and StoreKit. The app reads purchase and entitlement information, such as the product, transaction status and expiration, to enable the correct features. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
Manage renewals, cancellations and billing through your Apple Account. If you send a purchase-related support request, include only the information needed to describe the issue, and never send passwords or payment-card information. Apple's handling of payment and account information is governed by its terms and privacy policy.
5. Local diagnostics and usage information
The app keeps some usage counters locally to support feature limits and understand the current device's onboarding and purchase flow. These counters are not automatically sent to us.
Apple MetricKit can supply reduced performance and diagnostic summaries to the app. PDF Reader keeps up to seven recent summaries locally. They contain operational counters and timings, not document titles or page contents, and their storage is excluded from device backups. You may choose to share a diagnostic report for support; it is not automatically uploaded by PDF Reader.
6. Support messages and this website
When you contact us
If you email support, we receive your email address, the contents of your message and any attachments you choose to send. We use this information to respond, investigate the issue and maintain the relevant support correspondence. Our email provider processes those messages to deliver and store email. Do not send confidential documents, passwords or payment-card details; a redacted screenshot is usually sufficient.
When you visit this website
This website is hosted using Tencent Cloud infrastructure. Serving and securing a web request may involve processing technical information such as an IP address, the requested URL, browser/device request headers, time, response status and security signals. The hosting provider processes this information to deliver the website, operate its infrastructure and protect the service. Its processing and retention also depend on the service settings and applicable requirements.
Our site code does not add advertising trackers, analytics scripts, cookies, login forms or document-upload forms. This does not mean the hosting provider has no operational logs. Website request information is separate from the documents stored in the iOS app. You can contact us with questions about website data or applicable retention.
Information you intentionally send to support, and website request information, may be processed in countries where the relevant service providers operate. Those providers' applicable terms and privacy policies govern their independent processing. We may disclose information if legally required or as necessary to address fraud, abuse or security incidents.
7. Retention and deletion
- Local documents: remain in app storage until removed. Deleting a document normally moves it to the app's Recycle Bin. Trashed documents are eligible for automatic cleanup after 30 days when the app runs; any earlier permanent deletion option is explicit.
- Copies and backups: deleting a local file does not delete copies exported to another app, a recipient or a backup. Manage those copies through the relevant app, device or backup provider.
- Preferences and local counters: are retained as app data while needed for your settings and feature state. Removing the app removes its normal app container, but does not necessarily remove backups or Keychain information.
- Local diagnostic summaries: are limited to the seven most recent records; older summaries are replaced.
- Support correspondence: is kept only as needed to address your request, maintain relevant support records, meet applicable obligations or resolve disputes. Contact us to request deletion of information you sent.
- Website operational information: follows the hosting provider's service retention and security settings. It is not used by our site code for advertising or profiling. Contact us for a request relating to this information.
We cannot delete information that is held independently by Apple, your chosen recipients or storage providers. You may need to contact those services directly. Where a retention exception is required by law, it may limit an immediate deletion request.
8. Your choices and privacy requests
You can use the free app without creating an account, change permissions in iOS Settings, manage Apple subscriptions and backups, remove local documents and choose whether to send files or support messages.
Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or a copy of personal information we hold, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact support@ilovetechmon.com and describe your request. We may need information sufficient to verify that a request relates to you; please do not send unnecessary sensitive documents.
Because we do not keep your app's document library on our servers, we cannot retrieve or erase its local contents remotely. Use the app or your device to manage that data.
Children's information
PDF Reader is a general-purpose document utility, not a service that asks children to create an account or submit personal information. If you believe a child has sent personal information to our support address, contact us so we can review and address it.
9. Contact and policy updates
For questions or privacy requests, contact I Love Tech Mon at support@ilovetechmon.com. Please identify PDF Reader so we can direct your request correctly.
We may update this policy as the app, website or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies this version. If a change requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it through an appropriate channel.
The app's Terms of Use are Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA).
