PandabitPDF – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data may be processed in connection with the mobile application PandabitPDF (the “App”). PandabitPDF is designed as an offline PDF tool: PDF files and images are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to our own servers.

By installing and using the App, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not install or use the App.

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data is:

Pandabit
Linhartova ulica 18, 3000 Celje
Slovenia
Company / VAT ID: ADD VAT / Company ID
Email: info@pandabit.si
Website: https://pandabit.si

We have not appointed a separate Data Protection Officer, as this is not required for our current activities.

2. What PandabitPDF does (offline processing)

PandabitPDF is a utility app that allows you to:

• open and view PDF documents;
• create new PDFs (e.g. from photos or text);
• unlock password-protected PDFs when you provide the password;
• save PDFs on your device;
• share PDFs using your device’s share options (e.g. email or messaging apps);
• print PDFs using your device’s printing services;
• unlock additional Premium features via a paid subscription.

The App is designed to run entirely on your device. We do not operate a backend server for the App, and we do not remotely access the content of your documents.

3. Data handled by the App

3.1 PDF documents and images on your device

When you open a PDF or create a new PDF from images or text, the App processes that content to provide the functions you choose (viewing, creating, saving, printing, etc.).

Such documents may contain personal data (for example your name, address or other information chosen by you or the document’s creator). This content stays on your device. It is not sent to Pandabit servers, because we do not operate any servers for this App.

3.2 Temporary files and cache

To work correctly, the App may create temporary files or cached data on your device, for example to display pages faster or to prepare a print job. These temporary files are stored locally and may be deleted automatically by the App or by your operating system.

3.3 Subscription status (Premium)

The App offers Premium features that can be unlocked via a subscription purchased through Google Play Billing. Payment processing (including your payment card details) is performed by Google as the store provider, under Google’s own terms and privacy policy.

The App only receives limited information from Google Play, such as:

• whether a certain subscription product is active or expired;
• which product was purchased (e.g. monthly or yearly Premium);
• basic transaction status needed to enable Premium features on your device.

This information is stored locally on your device to control access to Premium features. We do not send this purchase information from the App to our own servers.

3.4 Support and communication

If you contact us by email (for example for support or feedback), we will process the data you provide (such as your name, email address and the content of your message) in order to answer your request and, where necessary, keep records of our communication.

4. What we do NOT collect or do

In connection with PandabitPDF, we do not:

• run a cloud service that stores your PDFs or images;
• upload your PDFs, images or document contents to our servers;
• use analytics SDKs (such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, etc.);
• use crash reporting services that send your data to third-party servers;
• show advertising or use advertising identifiers for tracking;
• sell or rent any personal data to third parties.

Documents only leave your device if you actively choose to share them using your device’s share functionality (for example by sending a PDF via email or a messaging app). In such cases, the chosen third-party service (email provider, messaging service, etc.) will process the data under its own terms and privacy policy.

5. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

For data processing that is under our control (for example support emails and any purchase information we may access), we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

• Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a contract: to provide you with the App and respond to your requests related to the App.
• Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interests: to ensure the proper functioning and security of the App, to prevent abuse of Premium features, and to handle or defend legal claims. When we rely on our legitimate interests, we balance them against your rights and expectations.
• Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – legal obligations: where we must keep certain data to comply with legal obligations (for example accounting rules).

For purely local processing of your documents on your own device, we generally do not act as a “controller” in the sense of the GDPR, because we cannot access this data ourselves.

6. Recipients and third parties

In connection with the App, data may be processed by the following independent controllers:

• Google (Google Play Store and Google Play Billing) – for processing your purchases, handling your Google account and subscriptions, and preventing fraud. Google processes this data under its own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
• Other apps and services you choose – such as email apps, messaging apps or printing services when you decide to share or print a document.
• Our hosting and email providers – when you visit our website or contact us by email.
• Public authorities and legal advisors – if required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We do not give third parties access to the content of your documents, except when you explicitly choose to share them or where we are legally obliged to do so.

7. International data transfers

Some of the above-mentioned providers (for example Google or hosting providers) may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, data transfers may be based on appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

For details about how Google or other third-party providers handle international transfers, please consult their respective privacy policies.

8. Data retention

• Documents on your device: PDF files and images remain on your device or storage locations that you choose. You can delete them at any time.
• Temporary files: cache and temporary files created by the App are kept only for as long as needed for the relevant function and may be removed automatically.
• Purchase / subscription information: is primarily stored and retained by Google as the store provider, according to its own policies and legal obligations.
• Support communication: emails and messages are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your request and for a reasonable period afterwards, for example to keep evidence of how we resolved an issue.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data that we process (for example access controls to our email accounts and hosting). However, no software or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for keeping your device secure and controlling which documents you store, share or print from the App.

10. Your rights under GDPR

Subject to the conditions and exceptions under applicable law, you may have the following rights:

• right of access to personal data we process about you;
• right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• right to erasure in certain situations (“right to be forgotten”);
• right to restriction of processing in certain cases;
• right to data portability for data you have provided to us;
• right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
• where processing is based on consent – right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Because the App is offline and data is stored on your device, you can exercise many rights directly by:

• deleting documents and images from your device;
• clearing the App’s cache and data in your device settings;
• revoking permissions (such as storage access) in your device settings;
• uninstalling the App.

For data that we control (for example support emails), you can exercise your rights by contacting us at info@pandabit.si. We may ask you for information necessary to confirm your identity. We will respond within the time limits set by applicable law.

11. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Slovenia, this is:

Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia (IP-RS)
Dunajska cesta 22, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia
Tel: +386 (0)1 230 97 30
Website: https://www.ip-rs.si

We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concern directly.

12. Children

The App is intended for general use by adults and is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that we have unintentionally received personal data about a child, please contact us so we can delete it.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or if legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.

If we make material changes, we may inform you through the app store listing, within the App or by other appropriate means.
