Our Commitment to Privacy
At PDF WALA, we respect your privacy and believe that your personal documents belong to you.
Our app is designed with privacy in mind, keeping your documents and sensitive information on your device whenever possible.
Offline & On-Device Processing
PDF WALA performs document-related operations locally on your device.
This may include:
- Creating and managing PDFs
- Merging PDF files
- Editing documents
- Scanning documents
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
- Creating documents from scanned information
Your document files and their contents are not uploaded to our servers or stored by us as part of these features.
An internet connection may still be required for certain third-party services, such as analytics.
Camera Access
PDF WALA may request access to your device's camera when you choose to scan documents, IDs, or other physical materials.
Camera access is used only when you initiate a scanning feature.
Files & Storage Access
The app may require access to files or device storage so that you can:
- Import existing PDF files
- Select documents for processing
- Save generated PDFs
- Manage files created within the app
Files selected or created by you are processed locally on your device.
No Cloud Storage
PDF WALA does not provide cloud storage or cloud backup for your documents.
Your PDFs, scanned images, and other document files remain on your device unless you choose to share, export, or otherwise move them using your device or another application.
ID Scan & Sensitive Information
PDF WALA may allow you to scan documents or identification cards such as Aadhaar, PAN cards, or other IDs.
Information obtained from these scans is used only to perform the function you requested, such as creating or arranging a document layout.
Because ID documents may contain sensitive personal information, we recommend using the app responsibly and avoiding sharing generated documents with people or services you do not trust.
Analytics & Crash Information
PDF WALA uses Firebase Analytics and related Google services to help us understand app usage and improve reliability and performance.
Depending on your device and app configuration, analytics or diagnostic information may include:
- App usage events
- Device or app information
- Crash and performance information
- Basic technical information
Analytics services do not receive the contents of your PDFs or scanned documents as part of our document-processing features.
We do not use analytics to track or collect the actual content of your documents.
Data Deletion & Recycle Bin
PDF WALA may provide a Recycle Bin feature for deleted files.
You may also clear the app's cache through your device or the app's Settings, where supported.
Because document files are stored locally on your device, you remain responsible for managing and deleting files stored on your device.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to design PDF WALA with privacy and data security in mind.
The app's local document-processing approach reduces the need to transmit your documents over the internet.
However, no electronic device, operating system, or software can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Third-Party Services
PDF WALA may use certain third-party services, such as Firebase Analytics, to provide analytics, crash reporting, or other technical functionality.
These third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
PDF WALA is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our own servers.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the app, features, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us through the support/contact information provided in the PDF WALA app or on the official app listing.
Your Privacy Matters
PDF WALA is built to keep your documents on your device and give you control over your data.
