Effective Date: August 12, 2026

App Name: PDF Reader & Editor: All Docs

Developer: Brother App Company

Contact Email: mrbrotherplayconsole@gmail.com

Brother App Company ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting information associated with your use of PDF Reader & Editor: All Docs ("the App").

This Privacy Policy explains what information the App may access or collect, why that information is used, how documents and device permissions are handled, and the choices available to you.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Access

The App is primarily a document reader, PDF editor and document management utility. Some information is accessed directly from your device to provide the features you request.

Documents and Files

When you use document-related features, the App may access files stored on your device, including PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, TXT, images and other supported document files.

File access may be used to:

Find and display documents on your device
Open and read supported files
Rename or delete files
Organize PDF pages
Create PDFs from images
Save scanned documents
Merge or split PDFs
Extract images or text
Compress supported PDF files
Edit supported PDF metadata
Share or print documents
Manage favorites and recently accessed documents

The App does not require you to provide document contents to Brother App Company in order to use ordinary document viewing and editing functions.

Images

If you select images for document creation or editing, the App may access those selected images to provide features such as Image to PDF, document creation, cropping and related operations.

Camera

Camera access may be requested when you choose a scanning or document-capture feature.

Camera access is used to capture documents that you choose to scan. Camera content is used for the requested document-processing function and is not used to identify you personally.

Phone State Information

The App may request phone-state access to support its after-call quick lookup functionality.

When this feature is enabled and the relevant permission has been granted, the App may detect phone call state so that it can provide a quick document-related action after a call, such as allowing you to quickly look up a document, note a summary, or edit a PDF.

The App does not use this permission to record phone conversations.

The App does not access or store the audio content of phone calls through this feature.

The App does not use this permission to read your call recordings.

Notifications

If notification permission is granted, the App may send notifications related to App functionality, processing activities, reminders or other relevant App events.

You can manage notification access through your Android device settings.

2. Permissions Used by the App

The App requests permissions only when required for a corresponding feature.

Permission	Purpose
READ_PHONE_STATE	Detect phone call state for the optional after-call quick lookup feature.
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW	Support the App's authorized quick-access/after-call interface where applicable.
INTERNET	Provide network connectivity for services and online functionality used by the App.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE	Access supported documents and files on devices or Android versions where this permission applies.
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES	Access images selected or available for supported image and PDF creation features.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE	Save or modify supported files on Android versions where this permission applies.
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE	Provide broad file-management access for document discovery and file-management functionality when granted by the user.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE	Determine whether a network connection is available.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS	Deliver App notifications when the user permits them.
CAMERA	Capture documents for scanning and related document features.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE	Support eligible background or foreground operations that require a foreground service.

Permission availability and behavior may differ depending on the Android version and device manufacturer.

You can revoke permissions through Android system settings. Revoking a permission may cause the corresponding feature to become unavailable.

3. How We Use Information

Information accessed by the App is used to provide and improve its functionality.

We may use information for purposes including:

Opening and displaying documents
Creating and editing PDF files
Managing files stored on your device
Scanning physical documents
Creating PDFs from images
Processing document pages
Providing search and document-management features
Supporting signing and annotation tools
Providing after-call quick lookup functionality
Sending relevant App notifications
Understanding general App usage and performance
Maintaining and improving App functionality
Diagnosing technical problems
Protecting the security and reliability of the App

We do not use your personal documents as advertising content.

4. Document and PDF Processing

Many document operations are performed directly on your Android device.

This includes functions such as PDF viewing, PDF page operations, document rendering, image processing, PDF creation, annotation, compression, extraction and related file-management operations.

Your documents are not intentionally uploaded to Brother App Company's servers merely because you open, view, edit or organize them in the App.

If you choose to share a document using Android's sharing functionality, the document is transferred according to the destination application or service selected by you.

You are responsible for reviewing the privacy practices of third-party applications or services that you choose to use for sharing, printing or storing documents.

5. Document Scanner

The App provides document scanning functionality using Google's document-scanning technology.

When you start scanning, the scanner allows you to capture physical documents and create digital files such as PDF documents.

Scanning operations are designed to process the scanned document on the device. The scanned result is returned to the App so that you can save, view or otherwise use it.

The App does not intentionally send the content of scanned documents to Brother App Company for advertising or profiling purposes.

6. After-Call Quick Lookup

The App includes an optional after-call quick lookup capability.

If you grant the required phone-state permission, the App can use phone call state information to determine when a call-related state change occurs and provide an appropriate quick-access experience.

This functionality is intended to help you quickly access document-related actions after a call, such as:

Looking up a document
Adding or noting a summary
Opening a PDF
Editing a PDF

The App does not record telephone conversations through this functionality.

The App does not need access to the contents of your phone conversations to provide this feature.

If you do not want to use this functionality, you can deny or revoke the relevant permission.

7. Firebase Services

The App uses selected Firebase services provided by Google to support application functionality, configuration and usage analysis.

Firebase Analytics

Firebase Analytics may collect information about how users interact with the App, such as App events, general usage information, device-related information and technical information.

This information helps us understand App usage, measure performance and improve the user experience.

We do not intentionally send the contents of your personal documents, PDF text, scanned document images, call audio or other private document content to Firebase Analytics.

Firebase Remote Config

Firebase Remote Config may be used to provide application configuration values and adjust certain App behavior without requiring a new App release for every configuration change.

Remote Config is used for App configuration rather than storing your personal documents.

Firebase Cloud Messaging

Firebase Cloud Messaging may be used to deliver notifications to the App.

Depending on how notifications are configured, Google may process technical identifiers and information necessary to deliver messages to your device.

You can control notification permissions through your Android device settings.

8. Third-Party Libraries and Components

The App uses third-party open-source libraries and development components to provide document viewing, PDF processing, image handling, UI functionality, networking, database operations, scanning, configuration and other technical features.

Component / SDK	General Purpose
AndroidX RecyclerView	Document and list interfaces
AndroidX Room	Local database and storage functionality
AndroidX Lifecycle	Application lifecycle and state management
AndroidX WorkManager	Background task management
AndroidX Browser	Browser-related Android functionality
RxJava / RxAndroid	Asynchronous and reactive programming

Some libraries operate locally on the device and do not independently mean that your documents are uploaded to a server.

Third-party services such as Google Firebase and Google Play services operate according to their own privacy practices and applicable terms.

9. Information Sharing

Brother App Company does not sell your personal information.

We do not intentionally share the contents of your personal documents, PDFs, scanned pages or locally stored files with advertisers.

Information may be processed by service providers that support technical functions of the App, such as Firebase services, where applicable.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

Comply with applicable laws or legal obligations
Respond to lawful requests from authorities
Protect the rights, property or safety of users, the App or Brother App Company
Detect or prevent fraud, abuse or security problems
Maintain and operate necessary technical services

When you use Android sharing, printing or another third-party application, information is handled according to the service you select.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App.

Documents and other files managed by the App remain under the control of the device and the user, subject to Android storage permissions and the operations selected by the user.

Network-based services used by the App may use encrypted connections where supported by the relevant service.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid storing or sharing sensitive information through applications or services they do not trust.

11. Data Retention

Documents created, imported or managed by the App generally remain on your device until you delete them or otherwise remove them using Android or the App's available file-management functions.

Brother App Company does not retain your locally stored PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint or TXT documents merely because you view or edit them in the App.

Information processed by third-party services, such as analytics or messaging services, may be retained according to the applicable service provider's policies and configuration.

You may uninstall the App at any time. Some information stored by third-party services may not be automatically deleted solely because the App is uninstalled.

12. Children's Privacy

The App is a general-purpose document utility and is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly request children to provide personal information to us.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Brother App Company directly, please contact us at:

mrbrotherplayconsole@gmail.com

We will review the request and take appropriate action where required by applicable law.

13. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

You can control several aspects of the App through your Android device, including:

Granting or denying file permissions
Granting or denying camera access
Granting or denying phone-state access
Granting or denying notification permission
Managing special access permissions
Removing files created or managed by the App
Uninstalling the App

You may also contact us regarding privacy-related questions or requests.

Email: mrbrotherplayconsole@gmail.com

When contacting us, please provide enough information for us to understand your request. We may need to verify the request before taking action where required by law.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, its features, applicable laws or our data practices.

When changes are made, the updated policy will be published with a revised effective date.

We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your continued use of the App after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
