Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Aggressive Codings ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application, PDF Reader: Instant PDF Viewer (the "App").

We built this App with strict privacy principles in mind. We do not collect, transmit, share, or sell any of your personal data or documents. The App operates completely offline on your device.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect personal information. The App does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or log in. Because the App is an offline utility, it does not send your documents, reading history, or personal data to our servers or any third-party servers.

2. Local Data Storage

To provide a seamless reading experience, the App stores certain information locally on your device. This data never leaves your phone and cannot be accessed by us. This local data includes:

• PDF Cache: Temporary copies of PDFs you open from external apps (like file explorers or messaging apps) to load them faster in the future.
• Reading Metadata: Your recent files list, saved bookmarks, and the last read page of a document so you can resume where you left off.
• App Preferences: Settings such as your chosen reading mode (Night Mode/Light Mode) and search history within the App.

3. Device Permissions

To function correctly, the App requires certain permissions on your Android device:

• Storage / Media Access: The App requires permission to read files on your device solely for the purpose of locating and displaying the PDF documents you choose to open.
• No Network Access: The App does not require internet permission to read your PDFs, ensuring your files remain private and secure on your hardware.

4. Third-Party Services and Advertising

The App is 100% Ad-Free. We do not integrate any third-party advertising networks, tracking pixels, or external analytics SDKs that monitor your behavior across other apps and websites.

5. Data Deletion and User Control

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it. You can permanently delete your reading history, bookmarks, search history, and cached files at any time using the App's built-in tools:

• Navigate to the App's Home Screen.
• Tap the Clear App Data (broom) icon in the top app bar.
• Select "Clear All Files, Passwords & History" to instantly wipe all data generated by the App from your device.

Alternatively, simply uninstalling the App from your Android device will permanently remove all associated local data and cached files.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is a general audience utility and is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, though as stated, the App does not transmit data externally.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
