Privacy Policy

event Effective as of October 3, 2026

Bryxoft ("we", "us", "our") built Bry PDF as a free, ad-supported PDF reader, editor, AI translation, document management, and scan document application. This page explains what information the app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. By using Bry PDF, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

What Bry PDF Accesses — and Where Data Is Stored

Bry PDF is designed for robust local and offline document handling. When you open PDF files from your device storage, file manager, email attachments, or other apps, Android passes local file or content URIs securely to the app via viewing intents. Your PDF files, scanned documents, annotations, signatures, bookmarks, and local databases are processed entirely on your device and stored in secure local storage. We do not upload your private PDF documents or data to our servers, and user account creation is not required.

You can permanently remove your local app data at any time by clearing the app's storage from your device settings, or by uninstalling the app.

Information We Collect

• Device & System Data — device model, operating system version, app version, network connectivity state, and basic diagnostic data collected automatically to ensure stability and compatibility.
• Advertising Identifiers — a resettable device advertising ID used by Google AdMob to serve and measure personalized or non-personalized ads.
• Usage & Analytics Data — anonymized, aggregated information regarding app navigation and feature usage collected via Firebase Analytics to help us improve user experience.
• Crash & Performance Diagnostics — automatically collected error logs, stack traces, and performance metrics via Firebase Crashlytics when the app encounters exceptions or crashes.
• Push Notifications & Messaging — notification tokens and messaging data managed via Firebase Cloud Messaging to send optional app reminders, document status updates, or announcements.
• Purchase & Entitlement Status — if you unlock premium features or upgrades, transactions are processed securely by Google Play Billing, which shares only purchase and entitlement status with the app. We never see or store your payment card details.
• AI Translation & OCR Scan Processing — when utilizing document scanning (OCR text recognition) or AI translation features, text data is processed locally on-device using Google ML Kit and Play Services libraries.

We do not collect precise geographic location data. Bry PDF does not request or track GPS coordinates.

Permissions Bry PDF Uses

• Storage & Files (`READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`, `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` / Scoped Storage) — required to open, read, edit, save, scan, and manage PDF documents on your device.
• Internet & Network State (`INTERNET`, `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`) — required to check network connectivity, download translation/OCR language models, display ads, communicate with Firebase services, and verify licensing/purchases.
• Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`) — used to send optional app reminders or updates via Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can disable notifications anytime in your device settings.
• Vibrate (`VIBRATE`) — used for haptic feedback during UI interactions.

Third-Party Services

Bry PDF integrates trusted third-party services, each operating under its own privacy policy:

• Google Play Services & ML Kit
• Google AdMob
• Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics & Cloud Messaging
• Google Play Billing

Advertising

Bry PDF displays ads served by Google AdMob to keep the app free. AdMob may utilize advertising identifiers, cookies, and SDK technologies to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance. You can opt out of personalized ads or reset your advertising ID at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or equivalent on your device). This preference is managed by your operating system, not by Bry PDF.

Your Consent Choices (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Bry PDF uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent dialog upon first launch in compliance with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) and Google's EU User Consent Policy. This enables you to choose whether to permit personalized advertising and analytics.

• You can grant or deny consent for personalized ads during the initial consent prompt.
• You may modify your choices at any time by navigating to Profile → Ad Preferences within the app, which reopens the consent form.
• If consent is withheld, non-personalized ads will be displayed based on general context rather than user identifiers.
• Consent choices are stored locally on your device by Google's consent management tools.

Learn more about how Google handles user consent via Google's EU User Consent Policy.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to request disclosure of data collection practices, deletion of personal data, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because Bry PDF processes documents locally and does not maintain user profile databases on external servers, most data remains under your direct device control. For ad-related choices, use the in-app consent menu or your device ad settings, or contact us directly.

Data Security

We apply reasonable and commercially standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect information processed by the app and its integrated third-party services. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

Bry PDF is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us for prompt removal.

Data Retention & Deletion

Your PDF files, scanned documents, signatures, and annotations remain on your device under your complete control. You may delete them at any time via file managers, app storage settings, or by uninstalling the application. Diagnostic and analytics logs collected through Firebase are retained in accordance with Google and Firebase standard data retention policies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
