PDFly — Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

PDFly ("we", "our", or "the app") is a mobile application published by Future Editz. This policy explains what data the app does — and does not — collect, use, and share.

If you have questions, contact us at support@futureeditz.com.

2. The short version

• Your PDF files stay on your device: All offline tools process documents locally. We never upload your files to our servers for those tools.
• No account: PDFly does not require sign-up, sign-in, or an email address.
• We show ads: Ads are served and mediated by Meta Audience Network and Unity LevelPlay (Unity Ads). These networks may collect a limited set of device-level information (advertising ID, approximate IP-derived location, device telemetry) to deliver, bid on, and measure ads.
• You're in control: You can reset or limit the advertising ID at any time in your device's system settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads on most Android devices).

3. Information we do not collect

PDFly itself does not:

• Collect your name, email address, or phone number
• Read, scan, transmit, or store the contents of your PDF files (for on-device tools)
• Track your location at the OS level (no GPS / fine-location requests)
• Share any data with third parties beyond what's described in §4 (advertising) and §10 (infrastructure)

The PDFs you create, view, or edit live inside your app's private storage and the public Downloads folder you choose. They are not sent off the device for offline processing.

4. Advertising & Information Collected (Meta Audience Network & Unity LevelPlay)

PDFly is supported by ads served via Meta Audience Network and mediated through Unity LevelPlay (Unity Ads). We utilize real-time bidding and mediation to deliver relevant advertisements without compromising your personal files.

When ads are loaded or displayed, these advertising networks may collect or process limited device-level data:

• Advertising Identifiers (AAID / GAID): A resettable identifier you control in Android Settings.
• Approximate Location: Derived from IP address (country / regional level); no GPS or precise location data is requested or collected.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, system language, screen resolution, and network type.
• Ad Interaction & Telemetry: Impressions, clicks, video view duration, and delivery diagnostics.

Advertising partners use this information to serve ads, prevent fraudulent ad traffic, and measure ad performance in accordance with their respective privacy policies:

• Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
• Meta Audience Network Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policies/audience-network/
• Unity Privacy Policy: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Unity Developer & Monetization Terms: https://unity.com/legal/developer-privacy-policy

5. GDPR / EEA / UK / Switzerland users

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the GDPR / UK GDPR, including access, correction, deletion, and objection to certain processing.

• You can limit or reset your advertising ID in your device settings.
• You can contact us at support@futureeditz.com to exercise your rights or ask questions about advertising data.
• If you use cloud/AI features (when enabled), separate processing may apply as described in the app and our terms.

We do not require an account to use PDFly. Where personalised advertising applies in your region, applicable law may require consent — follow any prompts shown by your device or the ad network, and contact us if you need help.

6. California / CCPA users

PDFly does not "sell" personal information for money. Under the CCPA's broad definition, the use of advertising identifiers for personalised advertising may be considered a "share" of personal information. You can limit personalised ads by adjusting your device's advertising ID settings and contacting support@futureeditz.com.

7. Children under 13

PDFly is rated Everyone but is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, contact us and we will assist with any associated identifiers we can influence.

The app does not target children: no kid-friendly UI, no in-app purchases, no chat features, no gamification.

8. Permissions PDFly requests, and why

PDFly does not request: location, contacts, microphone, calendar, SMS, or call logs.

9. Data retention

• Your PDF outputs: Kept on your device until you delete them.
• Local credit balance / preferences: Kept in app storage; cleared if you uninstall the app.
• Advertising data: Retained by advertising partners (Meta, Unity) in accordance with their respective retention policies.

Uninstalling PDFly removes all locally stored data tied to the app.

10. Third-party services we use

11. Security

We use Android's standard sandboxing — your files live in app-private storage that other apps cannot read. Our release builds are signed and code-shrunk. Where data is sent for ads or diagnostics, it is sent over HTTPS.

That said, no system is 100% secure. Don't put critical secrets in PDFs and forget about them — encrypt sensitive documents before sharing.

12. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if our data practices change. The "Last Updated" date above will reflect any change. Significant changes will be flagged in-app via the next update's release notes.
