Your documents, your data, your privacy. Learn how PDF Works handles and protects information when you use our app.
Last updated: November 11, 2026You may create and access an account using email/password or Sign in with Apple. Depending on the authentication method, account-related information may include:
Email/password authentication is handled through Supabase. Passwords are processed through its authentication infrastructure and are not stored by us in plain text.
Sign in with Apple is handled through Apple's authentication services. Apple may provide a unique user identifier and, depending on your choices, your name and email address.
PDF Works requests camera access to scan physical documents and create digital files. Camera access is used when you activate the scanning feature. We do not intentionally access your camera in the background.
You may choose to import images or files from your device's photo library. Access is initiated through the relevant import feature and subject to the permissions and selection controls provided by iOS.
We do not scan your entire photo library in the background.
Documents scanned, edited, signed or imported into PDF Works are generally processed and stored locally in the application's private storage on your iPhone.
Document features may use native Apple technologies for scanning, image processing, text recognition, editing and PDF manipulation.
We do not routinely upload your document collection to our account database. Files remain on your device unless you choose a feature that transmits a selected file, such as server-assisted conversion, sharing, exporting or a cloud destination selected by you.
Certain document conversions may require processing by an external conversion service. When you choose one of these operations:
Server-assisted conversion is initiated by your action. It does not mean that PDF Works automatically uploads all documents stored on your device.
Depending on how you use PDF Works, the application may process:
Some preferences and application settings may be stored locally on your device. Account information associated with email/password authentication is handled through Supabase.
PDF Works offers optional subscriptions through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple handles payment authorization and billing.
We use RevenueCat to help manage subscription information and Premium access.
Subscription-related data may include product identifiers, purchase status, entitlement status, trial eligibility, renewal or expiration information and identifiers used to associate purchases with an app user.
We do not receive your complete payment card number or banking credentials from Apple.
PDF Works uses Firebase services, including Firebase Analytics and Remote Config, to support application measurement and configuration.
Depending on the SDK configuration, information processed may include:
We use this information to understand overall app usage, maintain functionality, evaluate app experiences and improve the service.
PDF Works is designed primarily for document productivity. We do not request access to unrelated personal information as part of its core document features.
Document privacy: We do not routinely access the contents of locally stored scanned documents. However, a file you deliberately submit for server-assisted conversion must be processed by the relevant conversion provider.
PDF Works does not display third-party advertisements as part of its core application experience. Any analytics or tracking disclosures must nevertheless reflect the SDKs and data practices actually enabled in the app.
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, personal information is processed on an applicable legal basis, depending on the purpose.
Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw that consent through available device or application controls, or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before it occurred.
PDF Works uses service providers to deliver certain application functions. These may process limited information relevant to their services.
We do not sell your scanned document library. We seek to limit information shared with service providers to what is necessary to provide their services and to require appropriate protection under applicable privacy and data-processing obligations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the category of data, the purpose of processing, the provider involved and any applicable legal requirements.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We continue to evaluate reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information being processed.
Depending on your location and applicable privacy law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
Deleting an account does not automatically cancel an Apple-managed subscription. Subscriptions must be managed separately through Apple.
For privacy inquiries and rights requests, contact support@pdf-scan-app.com . We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
PDF Works is not directed at children under 13 or the applicable minimum age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information, they may contact us to request appropriate action.
PDF Works is operated from Spain, within the European Union. Some service providers may process information in other countries, including the United States.
Where international transfers require additional protections under applicable law, appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards must be used, such as recognized adequacy arrangements or contractual protections where applicable.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to PDF Works, its service providers, its data practices or applicable legal requirements.
When changes are made, the "Last updated" date will be revised. Where appropriate or legally required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
The current version of this policy will be available through the application's website and relevant in-app legal links.
