Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

PDF Summary ("the app") is a mobile application that analyzes PDF and text documents using AI and generates structured reports. This policy explains what data the app accesses and how it is handled.

The short version

PDF Summary has no server. Your documents and API keys never leave your device except to go directly to the AI provider you choose (Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude). We collect nothing.

Data the app accesses

• Documents you select. When you pick files using the system file picker, the app reads them into memory to prepare them for analysis. Files are not uploaded to any server operated by PDF Summary.
• Your API key. The app stores your AI provider API key locally on your device using encrypted device storage (AsyncStorage). The key is sent only to the provider you selected (Google or Anthropic) as part of API requests.

Third-party services

When you tap "Scan," your documents are sent directly from your device to the AI provider you configured:

• Google Gemini API — governed by Google's Privacy Policy
• Anthropic Claude API — governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy

PDF Summary does not act as an intermediary. Your device communicates directly with these APIs.

Data we collect

None. PDF Summary does not have a server, database, analytics service, crash reporter, or any mechanism to receive data from your device. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information.

Data we share

None. We have no data to share.

Cookies and tracking

The app does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, fingerprinting, or any form of tracking. The website (pdfsummary.app) does not use cookies or analytics.

Children's privacy

PDF Summary does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at pdfsummary.app/privacy.html with a revised date.
