PDFPilot is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your documents never leave your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal documents or their contents.
PDFPilot does not collect personal data. We do not use analytics SDKs, tracking pixels, or advertising identifiers. The only data transmitted from the App is standard Apple StoreKit transaction data required for subscription management.
All document processing — including PDF editing, OCR text recognition, AI analysis, metadata sanitization, and redaction — occurs entirely on your device. No document content is sent to any server.
AI features use Apple's on-device Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence). All AI processing runs locally on your device. Your document content is never transmitted to external AI services or cloud providers.
If you enable iCloud Sync, your PDFs are stored in your personal iCloud Drive container. This data is managed by Apple's iCloud infrastructure and is subject to Apple's privacy policy. PDFPilot does not operate any cloud servers.
Security-sensitive data such as Face ID lock preferences and subscription status is stored in the iOS Keychain, which is encrypted and protected by the device's Secure Enclave.
PDFPilot contains zero third-party SDKs, frameworks, or analytics services. The only external communication is with Apple's App Store for subscription management.
PDFPilot does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The App does not contain advertising or tracking of any kind.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the App with an updated "Last Updated" date.
