Last Updated: Nov 10 2025

This privacy policy applies to the Pro PDF app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by DESIGNIFY (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED (hereby referred to as "we", "us", or "our") as a Freemium service. This means it is offered with a free, ad-supported tier and a paid, premium tier.

We are the Data Controller for the information collected through this Application.

2. Information We Collect and Legal Basis for Processing

We collect information to provide and improve our service. We only collect and process data when we have a lawful basis to do so.

A. Automatically Collected Information (Device & Usage Data)

  • What we collect: Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, device type, the pages of the Application you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages.

    2. Performance of a Contract: To deliver the core functionality of the Application you requested.

    2. To serve geographically relevant (personalized) advertisements (in the free version).
    3. To analyze user behavior and trends at an aggregated level.

    2. Legitimate Interest: For aggregated, anonymized analytics to understand user demographics.

C. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) You Provide

  • What we may collect: If our Application includes features like user accounts, in-app purchases, or contact forms, we may collect information such as your name, email address, or a user/subscription identifier.

3. Third-Party Access and Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with third parties only in the ways described in this policy:

  • Aggregated, Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data with external services to help us analyze trends and improve our service.
  • Service Providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who work on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, subscription management). They do not have an independent right to use this information and have agreed to protect it.
  • Third-Party Services: The Application uses third-party services that may collect information. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies:
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information:
    • as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
    • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

4. International Data Transfers

Our third-party service providers (like Google, RevenueCat, Adapty) may process and store your data in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When this happens, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as by relying on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as provided by these partners.

5. Data Retention Policy

We will retain your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • Usage Data: Automatically collected data is typically aggregated and anonymized or deleted within a reasonable period (e.g., 12-24 months) unless needed for security or legal reasons.
  • User-Provided Data: We will retain data you provide (like account or subscription information) for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter (e.g., to manage subscription lifecycles).

If you'd like us to delete User Provided Data, please contact us at mehdi.designify@gmail.com, and we will respond in a reasonable time, in accordance with your "Right to Erasure."

  • Upgrade to Premium: In our freemium model, you can typically stop the collection of data used for advertising by purchasing the premium version of the Application.
