pdf.vtmx.appsThis Privacy Policy explains what information the Simple PDF Reader mobile application (Android package pdf.vtmx.apps, also distributed through Huawei AppGallery and as a direct download from vtmx.ro) collects, why, and what choices you have. By using the app you agree to the practices described here.
1.Who we are
The app is published by Adams Vision SRL, str. Lunga 124, 547365 Livezeni, Mures county, Romania, VAT number RO17182365, trade register J2005000171268 (“we”, “us”). We are the data controller for the information described below. Contact: office@adamsvision.ro.
2.Your documents
PDF files you open are read and displayed on your device. The app keeps a private copy of each opened file and a list of recent documents (name, page count and your reading position) inside its own storage on the phone, so you can reopen them quickly. Documents you scan are created and saved on your device. None of this is uploaded to us or to anyone else. Everything is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
To draw some PDFs correctly, the built-in viewer may download standard font and character-map files from the public jsDelivr content network. These requests contain no information about your document, but, like any internet request, they reveal your IP address to that network.
3.Information we collect
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Device record | A device identifier (Android ID on Android, identifierForVendor on iPhone), platform, app version, app language, the store the app was installed from, device model, date of first and last use. | To run the 7-day free trial (it starts once per device and is not reset by reinstalling), to know whether the device has Premium, and to keep the service working. |
| Premium purchase | The purchase token, product, plan, order ID, subscription status and expiry date, as returned by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. | To verify the subscription with Google and unlock Premium. |
| AI text extraction usage | For each page processed: date and time, the AI model used, token count, number of characters returned, processing time and success or error. Not the image and not the extracted text. | To apply the daily page limit, measure costs and fix errors. |
| Usage statistics | Anonymous app events such as app opened, screen viewed, feature used (scan, search, share, night mode, extract text), the number of pages and file size of an opened PDF, technical error messages, plus a random installation ID, platform, app version and language. | To understand which features are used and to fix crashes. See section 5. |
| Server logs | IP address, time and requested address, recorded by our web server when the app checks for updates and settings. | Security and troubleshooting. Kept for a limited time. |
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, precise location or the content of your files. The app has no user accounts.
4.AI text extraction (Premium)
When you use Extract text, pages that already contain text are read on your device. Only pages that are images (for example a scanned or photographed page) are sent, as a compressed image, over an encrypted connection to our server at vtmx.ro, which forwards them to OpenAI to recognise the text. The recognised text is returned to your phone.
- We do not store the page images or the extracted text on our server.
- OpenAI processes the image as our service provider under its business terms. According to OpenAI, data sent through its API is not used to train its models and may be kept for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring before being deleted.
- Nothing is sent unless you start the extraction yourself. Avoid extracting text from pages containing information you do not want processed by an AI service.
5.Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and, on Android devices with Google Play services, Google Analytics for Firebase, both provided by Google. They receive the usage events listed in section 3 together with a random installation ID; Firebase also collects standard device information (such as device model, operating system version and approximate country derived from the IP address). We use this only for aggregated statistics. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
6.Scanning, camera and Google services
On devices with Google Play services, document scanning uses the Google ML Kit Document Scanner, which runs on your device; the scanned images are returned to the app and are not sent to us. Where that scanner is not available, the app uses your camera or lets you pick photos from your gallery. The Camera permission is used only while you are scanning, and photos are used only to build the PDF on your device.
Payments in the Google Play version are handled by Google Play Billing, and the optional rating prompt uses the Google Play In-App Review service. These are subject to Google’s own privacy terms.
7.Legal basis (GDPR)
- Performance of a contract - providing the app, the free trial, Premium and AI text extraction you request.
- Legitimate interests - keeping the service secure, preventing abuse of the free trial, fixing errors and understanding feature usage through anonymous statistics.
- Legal obligation - keeping purchase records as required by tax and accounting law.
8.Sharing and transfers
We do not sell or rent your information and we do not use it for advertising. We share it only with the providers named above (our hosting provider, OpenAI, Google and jsDelivr), who process it on our behalf or as independent controllers under their own policies, and with authorities when the law requires it. Some of these providers are located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States; such transfers rely on the safeguards provided by law, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
9.How long we keep it
- The device record is kept while the app is in use, so the free trial is applied once per device, and is deleted on request.
- AI usage records are kept for as long as needed for cost statistics and the daily limit, and at most 2 years.
- Purchase records are kept for the period required by Romanian accounting law.
- Analytics data is kept by Google according to the retention settings of our Google Analytics property (maximum 14 months).
10.Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. To delete your data, email office@adamsvision.ro with the Device ID shown in the app under Settings; we will answer within one month. Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on the phone. You can also reset your advertising and analytics identifiers from your phone’s settings.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian data protection authority, ANSPDCP (B-dul G-ral. Gheorghe Magheru 28-30, Bucharest), or with the authority in your country of residence.
11.Security
All communication between the app and our server uses encrypted HTTPS connections. Access to our server and database is restricted to authorised staff. The OpenAI key and other secrets are stored only on the server, never in the app.
12.Children
The app is a general-audience document tool and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.
13.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be published on this page with a new effective date; significant changes will also be announced in the app.
