Privacy
Policy
This record explains how Docu Reader - PDF Reader handles document access, device information, advertising data, analytics, and support communications.
About this notice
This Privacy Policy applies to Docu Reader - PDF Reader (the “App”). The App helps users locate, categorize, open, review, and manage supported document files stored on an Android device.
This notice covers processing performed by the App and its integrated service providers. It does not cover the independent practices of other apps or services that may open a file outside Docu Reader.
Documents and file information
With your permission, the App scans shared device storage to locate supported files, including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT, and image files. It may process file names, file types, sizes, storage paths, modification dates, and recent-open history so that files can be categorized, searched, displayed, and reopened.
If you delete a file through the App, the file may be removed or moved to the device’s trash, depending on the Android version and storage provider. This action can affect the original file stored on your device.
Technical, advertising, and usage data
The App and its service providers may process app events, device model, operating-system version, app version, language, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, device or advertising identifiers, crash details, diagnostics, ad impressions, ad interactions, and install-attribution information.
When you email support, we process your email address, message, and any information you choose to include so we can respond.
Why information is processed
- to discover and organize supported files stored on your device;
- to open PDFs, provide search, and maintain recent-file history;
- to perform file actions that you request, including deletion;
- to operate, diagnose, secure, and improve the App;
- to deliver, limit, and measure advertising;
- to measure installs, campaigns, and app usage;
- to investigate crashes, prevent fraud, and respond to support requests.
Service providers and sharing
We disclose relevant technical and usage information to integrated providers only for the functions described below, or when required by law. We do not sell the content of documents stored on your device.
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Advertising delivery, measurement, frequency controls, diagnostics, and fraud prevention. |
| Firebase | App analytics, event measurement, and crash diagnostics through Firebase Crashlytics. |
| AppsFlyer | Install attribution, campaign measurement, and related app-event analytics. |
| Meta / Facebook SDK | App-event measurement and campaign-related analytics where configured. |
Each provider may process data under its own privacy policy, retention period, legal basis, and user controls.
Permissions
Files and storage
Docu Reader requires access to files stored in shared device storage to perform its core document-reader and document-management functions. On Android 11 or later, the App may request All files access so it can find and organize supported documents stored across different folders. On earlier Android versions, the App may request the applicable storage permission. You can deny or revoke access in Android settings, but document discovery and management will not work without it.
Notifications
The App may request notification permission to show its own reminders, status messages, or app updates. This permission does not allow the App to read notifications from other apps. You can change this permission in Android settings.
Network access
Internet access supports advertising, attribution, analytics, diagnostics, remote app configuration, and support-related functions.
Retention, deletion, and security
Document files remain in device storage until you delete them, move them, clear applicable app data, or remove them through another file-management tool. Recent-file history and locally generated document indexes may remain in app storage until cleared or the App is uninstalled.
Support correspondence is retained as reasonably needed to respond and maintain support records. Service-provider data is retained under each provider’s settings and policies. We apply reasonable safeguards appropriate to the App, but no storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Choices, children, and international processing
You can control file and notification permissions in Android settings, reset or limit advertising identifiers through device settings where available, clear app data, delete local files, or uninstall the App. Depending on your location, you may also have legal rights regarding personal data processed by us.
The App is not directed to children below the minimum age required by applicable law, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own under their applicable safeguards.
Changes
We may revise this policy when the App, SDKs, legal requirements, or information practices change. The effective date will be updated when a revised version is published.
