Privacy Policy

PDF Reader Lite

Welcome to PDF Reader Lite. We take your privacy seriously. Protecting your personal information is a core principle that guides how we build and operate our services. This Privacy Policy explains in detail what data we collect, how we use it, where we store it, who we share it with, and how we keep it safe. Please read it carefully. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out using the contact details at the end of this document.

1. Information We Collect

To keep improving our app's performance and your experience, we collect certain non-personal information when you use PDF Reader Lite:

• Device details - such as your device model, brand, OS version, screen resolution, unique identifiers (e.g., IMEI, Android ID, IDFA, depending on device and OS), language settings, and time zone. This helps us adapt the app to different devices, ensure stable operation, and offer personalized interface and feature adjustments.
• Usage patterns - we record how often you open files, the time of access, reading duration, page ranges you view, and similar usage data. Analyzing this helps us understand user habits and needs, so we can improve and refine the app's functions.
• Network information - including network type (WiFi, 4G, 5G, etc.), IP address, and carrier. This helps us maintain a stable network connection, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and protect against security threats when necessary.
• Crash logs - when the app crashes, freezes, or encounters other errors, we collect relevant log data such as error codes, time of occurrence, device state, and which feature or file was being used. These logs allow us to quickly identify and fix problems, making the app more stable and reliable.
• Third-party service data - PDF Reader Lite integrates third-party services. When you use them, those third parties may collect certain information. For example, analytics providers may gather usage data to help us better understand user behavior.

2. How We Use Your Information

We collect and process user data only for legitimate purposes related to providing and improving our services. Specifically, we use your information to:

1. Deliver and maintain the service - collect necessary data so that you can use the app and its features normally, fulfill your requests, and keep basic functions running smoothly.
2. Optimize and personalize - use device, network, crash, and usage information to improve compatibility across different devices and networks, fix bugs, and offer personalized tools, features, or content recommendations based on your habits and preferences.
3. Ensure security and prevent risks - analyze device, network, and behavioral data to detect malicious attacks and other security threats, as well as to monitor and prevent fraud or abuse.
4. Provide user support and handle feedback - quickly locate and resolve issues when you report them, and offer effective support.
5. Comply with legal obligations - when required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect our legitimate rights or fulfill contractual duties, we may use relevant data to ensure our operations remain lawful.

Data retention. We keep your data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described above, to meet legal requirements, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or for internal analysis. If data is used for security enhancements, feature improvements, or legal compliance, the retention period may be extended accordingly.

3. Information Sharing

We strictly follow privacy principles and will not sell, rent, or casually share your personal information with third parties, except in the following situations:

• With your explicit consent - if you ask us to share certain information with a third party, or if a feature you use involves third-party cooperation, we will explain what data will be shared, with whom, and for what purpose, and we will obtain your explicit permission before sharing.
• Legal requirements - if laws, courts, or government authorities require disclosure, or if necessary to protect our legitimate rights (e.g., responding to legal proceedings, preventing fraud), to ensure app security, or to protect the rights of other users, we may provide your information to law enforcement, regulators, or other third parties. We will follow all applicable legal procedures and, where possible, notify you in a timely manner.
• Affiliates - we may share information within our group of affiliated companies to offer you more comprehensive and better services. We will require those affiliates to adhere to the same strict privacy standards as this policy, and shared information will only be used for purposes described here. If an affiliate wants to use the information beyond this scope, we will ask for your consent again.
• Service providers - we may share personal information with service providers that help us monitor and analyze service usage (to improve your experience) or serve advertisements within the app and on third-party websites. Third-party ad companies may collect access data via cookies to optimize ad delivery and may perform cross-platform targeting based on anonymized or de-identified in-app behavior data. We strictly limit the scope of data shared and never share sensitive in-app activity data with third-party advertisers.

Below are the third-party advertising SDKs we use, along with links to their privacy policies. You can review them at any time:

Ad Personalization Settings

• On Android devices, you can use the "Opt out of interest-based ads" or "Opt out of ad personalization" feature in system settings to limit personalized ads based on your usage data.
• On iOS devices, you can enable "Limit Ad Tracking" under Settings > Privacy > Ads to prevent apps from using your device identifier for ad personalization.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Storage

We store collected information on secure servers. Retention periods are determined based on legal requirements and the time needed to achieve the purposes set out in this policy. Generally, we retain your information while you use PDF Reader Lite to provide services and maintain security. When we no longer need your information or the retention period expires, we will delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer identify any individual. If cross-border data transfer is involved, we will comply with all applicable data export laws, take necessary security measures to protect your information, inform you before such transfer, and obtain your consent.

4.2 Security

We place great importance on the security of your personal data. We use a combination of managerial, technical, and physical safeguards, including data encryption, security assessments and monitoring, access controls, and more. We also maintain a robust internal management system, provide security training to employees, and require them to follow confidentiality rules. While we use commercially acceptable measures to protect your information, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We will continue to work hard to keep your information safe.

5. Children's Privacy

We care deeply about protecting children's privacy. PDF Reader Lite is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected a child's personal information, we will delete it immediately and take appropriate steps to prevent recurrence. If we have reason to believe that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without valid parental or guardian consent, we will stop processing that information and delete it as soon as possible.

6. Your Rights

You have legal rights regarding your personal information. If you wish to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, or if you have any other concerns about how we process your data, please contact us using the email address at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law. In some jurisdictions, you may have additional data protection rights, which we will respect and honor in accordance with local legal requirements.

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time due to changes in laws and regulations, business needs, technical updates, or other reasonable reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we handle your information. If you continue to use PDF Reader Lite after the policy has been updated, you agree to be bound by the updated terms. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you should stop using our app.
