PDFExtract Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 10, 2026

Overview

PDFExtract is designed to process your PDF files locally on your device. In the current version, PDF import, text extraction, image extraction, OCR processing, project storage, and export generation are handled on-device.

Information We Process

When you use PDFExtract, the app may process:

• PDF files you choose to import
• Extracted text generated from PDFs
• Extracted images saved from PDFs
• Markdown files generated from extracted content
• Project metadata such as file name, page count, extraction status, timestamps, and local file paths
• OCR preferences you configure, such as recognition languages and related settings

How Your Information Is Used

PDFExtract uses this information only to provide app functionality, including:

• Importing and opening PDF files
• Unlocking password-protected PDFs when you provide a password
• Extracting text and embedded images
• Running on-device OCR for scanned or image-based pages
• Generating Markdown output
• Saving projects so you can reopen and manage previous imports
• Exporting extracted results when you choose to share or save them

On-Device Processing

In the current version of PDFExtract, your documents and extracted content are processed locally on your device. The app does not upload your PDFs, extracted text, extracted images, or generated Markdown to our servers.

Data Storage

Imported PDFs and generated outputs are stored in the app’s local storage on your device so you can access them later. This may include:

• The original imported PDF
• Extracted image files
• Generated Markdown files
• Project records stored locally in the app’s database

Temporary export ZIP files may also be created on-device when you choose to export extracted content.

Sharing and Exports

PDFExtract only shares files when you explicitly choose to do so using iOS sharing features or export actions. Once you share a file to another app or service, that destination’s privacy practices will apply.

Password-Protected PDFs

If you import a password-protected PDF, the password is used only to unlock the document for import and processing on your device. In the current version, the app does not send that password to our servers.

Analytics, Tracking, and Advertising

In the current version, PDFExtract does not use third-party advertising SDKs, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not use analytics services to profile your behavior.

Third-Party Services

In the current version, PDFExtract does not require account registration and does not rely on a cloud backend to process your documents.

Your Choices

You can control your data by:

• Choosing which PDFs to import
• Deleting projects from within the app
• Deciding whether to export or share extracted files
• Adjusting OCR language and recognition settings locally on your device

If you delete a project in the app, its related local project files are intended to be removed from the app’s managed storage.

Children’s Privacy

PDFExtract is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
