Who this policy is from

This policy covers the Android application ImageToPdf, distributed through Google Play under the package name com.bumustudios.imgtopdf. It is written by the app's independent developer. Questions can be sent to the address in Contact.

What the app does

ImageToPdf converts between photos and PDF documents, in both directions. It turns photos you choose into a PDF, and it exports the pages of a PDF back out as images. You control page size, orientation, fit mode, margins and page order when creating a PDF, and output format (JPEG, PNG or WEBP), quality and resolution when exporting pages. There is no watermark, no subscription and no quality cap.

Your images and files stay on your device

This is the most important section, so it is stated plainly:

• Images are never uploaded. The app has no backend of its own. It does not transmit your photos, your PDFs, their contents, their file names or their metadata anywhere.
• Images are read through the Android Photo Picker. You pick the specific photos you want. The app is granted access only to those items and does not browse your gallery.
• Output is written through MediaStore into Documents/Image to PDF for PDFs and Pictures/Image to PDF for pages exported from a PDF, on your device's own storage. Temporary copies may be placed in the app's private cache to support the system Share sheet and previews; these belong to the app's sandbox and are removed when the cache is cleared or the app is uninstalled.
• No storage permission is requested on Android 10 and newer. The Photo Picker and MediaStore make one unnecessary. On Android 9 and older, the legacy WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is declared solely so files can be saved.

What the app stores locally

The app keeps a small amount of state in its own private storage on the device. None of it is personal information, and none of it is sent anywhere:

• whether the one-time "remove ads" purchase is active;
• the expiry time of a temporary ad-free period earned by watching a rewarded ad;
• a counter of how many interstitial ads have been shown, used to keep ad frequency low.

This local state is deliberately excluded from Android cloud backup and from device-to-device transfer, so it is not copied to your Google Drive. Google's advertising and consent components also keep their own settings on the device, under Google's control. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes everything the app has stored.

Advertising — Google AdMob

The app is free and is supported by ads served by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC, depending on your region). AdMob is embedded in the app as a software development kit, and it does collect data, independently of the developer. When ads are served, AdMob and Google's advertising partners may collect and process:

The app does not request GPS or precise location permission, and it does not send your images, file names or document contents to AdMob. The developer receives no personal data from AdMob — only aggregated, anonymous reporting such as impression and revenue totals.

Because ads require an advertising identifier, the app declares the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission. Ad formats used are a banner, an occasional interstitial, an optional rewarded ad you choose to watch, and an app-open ad.

How Google handles this data is governed by Google's own policies, not by this one:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services
• AdMob and third-party advertising

Purchases — Google Play Billing

The app offers one optional, one-time, non-consumable purchase that permanently removes ads. There is no subscription and nothing recurring.

The transaction is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. The developer never sees or receives your card number, bank details, billing address or full name. Google reports only aggregated sales figures. Inside the app, the purchase is recorded as a single true/false flag on your device, restored from your Google Play account when you reinstall or move to a new device. Your handling of payment data by Google is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Play's terms.

Your advertising choices

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland

Before personalised ads are requested, the app shows a consent form built with Google's User Messaging Platform, where you choose what you allow. Your choice is stored on your device by Google's component and is respected on later launches.

You can change your decision at any time: open the app, go to Settings → Privacy options, and the same form reappears. You may withdraw consent there. Withdrawing consent does not disable the app; you will still be able to convert your files, and ads may still be shown in a non-personalised form.

Everywhere else

The privacy options entry appears only where a consent choice is legally required, so you may not see it. You can still control advertising at the operating-system level: open Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path varies by manufacturer and Android version) to reset your advertising ID, or to delete it entirely, which stops apps from receiving a stable advertising identifier.

Removing ads completely

Buying the one-time ad removal stops ad requests from the app altogether.

Permissions the app requests

The app requests no camera, contacts, microphone, precise location or account permissions.

Children

This app is a general-purpose utility. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), it is not listed in a children's category, and it is not designed for or marketed to children. The developer does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the ad services in this app, contact the address below and contact Google, whose services would hold it.

Data retention

The developer stores no user data at all, so there is nothing on the developer's side to retain or delete. Data held on your device stays there until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. Data collected by Google through AdMob and Google Play is retained according to Google's own retention schedules, described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Legal bases and your rights

Where the GDPR (EU/UK) applies, the legal basis for personalised advertising is your consent, collected through the form described above and withdrawable at any time. Non-personalised advertising, fraud prevention and the security of the ad services rely on legitimate interests. Processing your purchase is necessary to perform the contract you enter when you buy ad removal.

Under the GDPR, and under Turkey's KVKK (Law No. 6698) on equivalent terms, you have the right to ask whether your personal data is processed, to access it, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority — in Turkey, the Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK).

Because the developer holds no personal data about you, there is nothing for the developer to retrieve or erase. Requests concerning advertising data must be directed to Google as the party that holds it, using the tools in the Google Privacy Policy. For anything else, or for help finding the right route, write to the address below.

Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change — for example if a new third-party service is added — this page will be updated and the "last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes will also be reflected in the app's Google Play listing. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
