Privacy Policy

1. What the app collects

Pafi requires no account and includes no advertising, analytics, tracking or third-party crash-reporting service. The current app does not automatically send your documents, scans, recognized text, signatures, passwords or usage history to Pafi or Veyoq.

If you choose to email support, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you deliberately include. Sending feedback is optional. Please use a synthetic example and never send document passwords or confidential PDFs.

2. On-device processing and permissions

PDF editing, compression, rendering, password protection and optical character recognition (OCR) run on your device. OCR does not send page images or recognized text to a server. Camera access is used only while you scan, after you grant permission. You select the files and images you import through iOS pickers; Pafi does not read your entire photo library in the background.

You can change camera or photo permissions in iOS Settings. If camera access is denied, image import remains available. Pafi does not request contacts, location, microphone or tracking permission.

3. Storage, retention and deletion

Saved library files remain in Pafi’s local Documents folder until you delete them. Imported working copies, thumbnails, previews and unfinished drafts may be retained locally so that you can resume work. Temporary native password-operation outputs are removed after reading, and reader thumbnails and reusable inputs are released when the reader closes.

• In Files, use a document’s actions menu to delete that saved copy.
• In Settings, choose Clear temporary files to remove working copies, previews, drafts and recent history while preserving your saved library.
• Delete all saved files removes the local library and also clears temporary files, drafts and recent history after confirmation.
• Deleting the app removes its local app data. Offloading an app may retain its documents. Device backups, exported copies and copies stored in other services are managed separately through iOS or the receiving service.

We do not hold a server copy of your documents and cannot recover deleted local work or a forgotten PDF password. Keep a separate backup of important documents.

4. Sharing, export and optional Google Drive

Documents leave the device when you deliberately choose a destination in the system share or export sheet. Those destinations have their own privacy practices. Pafi does not upload documents to Veyoq.

Some Pafi builds may offer optional Google Drive backup. It is hidden in the current release candidate because publisher OAuth configuration is not enabled. In a configured build, connecting Drive sends the PDFs you choose to sync directly to your Google account using limited Drive file access. Google handles them under its privacy policy.

Disconnecting Drive in Pafi stops further app sync operations; it does not delete existing Drive files. You can revoke Pafi’s authorization in your Google Account’s connected-app settings and delete cloud copies in Google Drive. Any future change that adds data collection will require updated disclosures.

5. Support messages and service providers

We use support correspondence only to answer your request, investigate related issues, maintain necessary records, and meet legal obligations. It is retained only as long as needed for those purposes. Email and website service providers process the information needed to deliver those services with appropriate privacy safeguards; we do not sell personal data or use support messages for targeted advertising.

You can request access, correction or deletion of your support correspondence by emailing support@veyoq.com. We may need enough information to locate the conversation and verify the request. Applicable law may require us to retain some records.

6. Security and your choices

Pafi uses iOS’s app sandbox and platform PDF APIs. Passwords entered for PDF tools are not saved in tool drafts. A PDF password protects that PDF; Pafi is not a separate encrypted document vault, and exported or shared copies are controlled by their recipients. No software or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

You can use the core app offline without signing in, decline camera access, clear temporary data, delete saved files and choose whether to send support feedback. Apple may separately process TestFlight diagnostics and feedback under Apple’s terms and your device settings.

7. Children and policy changes

Pafi is not directed at children under 13 and does not automatically collect personal data. A parent or guardian can contact us about information a child may have sent voluntarily to support.

We will update this page’s effective date when this policy changes. Material in-app changes will also be reflected in Pafi’s privacy notice.
