Privacy Policy

Pocket Toolbox: PDF Tools · Effective 9 November 2026

Introduction

This policy explains how Pocket Toolbox ("we", "the app") handles information. It applies to the iOS and Android apps.

Key points. There is no account and no server that stores your files. Scans, PDFs, QR codes and settings stay on your device. The app has no ads. The iPhone app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDK. The Android app uses Firebase for crash reports and usage statistics.

Your files and data

Documents you scan, PDFs you create, merge or split, text recognized from images, QR codes and your settings are stored on your device. We never receive them. Deleting the app deletes this data from the device.

Permissions (iPhone)

Camera: scan documents, QR codes and barcodes, and pick colors. Images are processed on your device and not sent anywhere.
Photo library (add only): save QR codes and barcodes you create to your photos.
Location (while using the app): the compass shows coordinates. Location is not stored or sent.
Microphone: the sound level meter measures noise. Audio is not sent anywhere.
Motion sensors: level, accelerometer and magnetometer tools.
Calendars and Reminders: only when you choose to turn clipboard text into an event or reminder.

Network use (iPhone)

The currency converter downloads exchange rates from public services (frankfurter.app, with open.er-api.com as a fallback). The speed test downloads test data over the internet. These requests contain no personal information, but the services you connect to can see your IP address as with any internet connection. Everything else works offline.

Android app

The Android app contains no ads. It includes Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics (Google), which may collect crash logs, device and OS information, app usage events and an app instance identifier to help us fix crashes and understand how the app is used. See Firebase privacy information. The iPhone app has no such SDK.

Purchases

The app is free. It has no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Your rights

We hold no personal data about you in our own systems, so there is nothing to access, correct or delete on our side. For data handled by Google, use Google's controls and your device settings. Under the GDPR you may contact us or your data protection authority with any request or complaint.

Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it.
