Soft Doc Viewer

This policy explains how Soft Doc Viewer ("the app"), published by SoftTech Service ("we", "us"), handles information when you use it on Android.

1. Your documents and files

• With your permission ("All files access" on Android 11 and later, or storage access on older versions), the app looks for PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and text files on your device so it can list, search and open them. You can decline and open single files with the system file picker instead.
• Files are opened, edited, converted and saved only on your device. Their contents are never sent to us or to anyone else.
• The app keeps a small local list of recently opened files, favorites, bookmarks and reading positions so it can show them to you. It stays on your device and is removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall it.
• If Android closes the app while you are editing, unsaved changes are kept in the app's private storage so they can be restored. They are deleted when you save, discard or close the document.

2. Pictures

When you insert a picture into a presentation, you choose it with the Android photo picker. The app receives only the picture you choose and stores it inside your document.

3. Sharing and printing

When you share or print a document, the app hands the file to the app or printer you choose. What happens next is governed by that app's or service's own privacy policy.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows banner and full-screen ads provided by Google AdMob. To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process:

• Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID
• Approximate location, derived from your IP address
• Interactions with ads (views and taps)
• Diagnostic and performance information, such as crash logs
• Device information, such as model, operating system version and language

This information is collected and used by Google, not by us. It is sent over an encrypted connection. The ads SDK does not have access to your documents. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Consent and your ad choices

• Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states), the app asks for your choice through Google's consent form before ads are requested. You can change it at any time from Ad privacy choices in the app's menu (⋮ on the home screen).
• On any Android device you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device's Settings (Privacy → Ads, or Google → Ads).

5. Google Play features

The app uses Google Play to offer updates inside the app and to let you rate it. These features are run by Google Play under the Google Privacy Policy. If you write a review, it goes to Google Play; the app does not receive it.

6. What we don't collect

We have no accounts or sign-in, and we don't run our own servers or analytics for this app. We don't collect your name, email address, contacts, messages, or the contents of your files.

7. Children

The app is a general productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your choices

• Turn off "All files access" in Android settings at any time; the app still opens files you pick.
• Change your ad consent from Ad privacy choices in the app's menu, where shown.
• Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
• Clear the app's data or uninstall it to remove everything it stored on your device.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
