4. How We Process Your Documents
Your documents remain under your control throughout your use of PicPDF.
Most document operations—including scanning, creating PDFs, editing files, and converting supported document formats—are processed locally on your device whenever possible. This means your files generally remain on your device during these operations.
Certain optional features, such as AI-powered document assistance, may require selected text or document content to be processed using trusted AI technologies in order to generate the requested results. Only the content necessary to perform the requested feature is processed.
We do not access your documents unless processing is required to deliver a feature you have explicitly requested.
Documents processed through AI features are handled only for the purpose of completing your request. We do not use your document content to build user profiles, deliver advertising, or otherwise exploit your personal files.
Whenever document processing involves external services, reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are implemented to help protect your information during transmission and processing.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or document content to third parties.
We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:
5.1 Service Providers
We work with carefully selected service providers that help us operate and improve PicPDF. These providers may assist with services such as:
- AI-powered document processing
- App performance monitoring and diagnostics
- Cloud infrastructure supporting specific features
- Customer support services
These providers are permitted to process information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are required to protect the information they receive.
5.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a valid request from public authorities.
We may also disclose information when we reasonably believe such action is necessary to:
- Comply with legal obligations;
- Protect our rights or property;
- Prevent fraud, security threats, or illegal activities;
- Protect the safety of our users or others.
5.3 Business Transfers
If PicPDF becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
If such a transfer occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your information continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
5.4 Aggregated and Anonymous Information
We may use or share aggregated or anonymized information that does not identify you personally for purposes such as analyzing product performance, improving our services, or understanding general usage trends.
This information cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual user.
6. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Because most document operations are processed locally, your files generally remain stored on your device unless you choose to export, share, or use a feature that requires external processing.
When information is transmitted to support specific features, such as AI-powered document assistance, reasonable safeguards are used to help protect data during transmission and processing.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We encourage you to keep your device updated and protected with appropriate security measures, such as a device passcode or biometric authentication, to further safeguard your documents.
7. Third-Party Services
PicPDF may integrate with trusted third-party services to provide certain features, improve app performance, and support the operation of our Service.
Depending on the features you use, these services may include:
- AI technologies used to generate document rewrites, summaries, or titles;
- Analytics and diagnostic services used to monitor app stability and improve performance;
- Apple services required for in-app purchases and subscription management.
These third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and are responsible for the information they process in accordance with their applicable terms.
We carefully select service providers that support our business needs and expect them to implement appropriate safeguards for protecting user information.
As PicPDF continues to evolve, the third-party services we use may change from time to time. We will update this Privacy Policy when material changes affect how your information is processed.

- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of personal information, where applicable;
- Object to or restrict certain processing activities, where permitted by law;

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, legal requirements, or business operations.
When material changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, we may also provide additional notice within the app or through other appropriate means.
Your continued use of PicPDF after any updates become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
