Aura PDF Privacy Policy

Effective September 2026

Your Documents Never Leave Your Device

All PDF operations — including merging, splitting, compressing, encrypting, watermarking, scanning, OCR text recognition, and page editing — run locally on your Android device.

Merge & Split PDF Compression Password Encryption Document Scanner OCR Text Recognition Page Reorder & Rotate

Aura PDF does not operate or use a server that stores or transmits your PDF files, page contents, extracted images, thumbnails, or folder structures.

Password Security: Passwords entered to protect or unlock a PDF exist only in your device's memory and are never recorded, transmitted, or stored by Aura PDF.

Advertising

Aura PDF displays advertisements served by Google AdMob to support the free version of the application.

To provide, personalize, and measure advertising, Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process information such as:

Advertising ID
IP address
Device information
General location information
Advertising and measurement information

Personalized advertising may be used where permitted by applicable settings and laws.

Ad-Free Experience: Purchasing Aura PDF Pro removes advertisements from the application.

Google Privacy Policy

In-App Purchases

Aura PDF provides a one-time Pro purchase that unlocks premium tools and removes advertisements.

Payments are processed through Google Play Billing.

Aura PDF does not receive, collect, or store your credit card number, debit card number, bank account details, or other payment credentials.

Aura PDF receives purchase confirmation information from Google Play to unlock Pro features and support the Restore Purchases functionality.

Analytics

Aura PDF uses Aptabase for privacy-focused, aggregated analytics.

Analytics help us understand application usage and improve reliability, including information such as which tools are opened and how often the application is launched.

Analytics data is designed to be anonymized and is not linked to your name or email address.
Analytics does not include the contents of your PDF files.

Device Permissions

Aura PDF requests minimal permissions strictly required to perform requested file operations and secure your local workspace:

Storage / Files

Used to read files that you explicitly choose to open and to save processed PDFs or images back to your device.

Camera

Used only when you choose the Scan Document feature to capture document pages.

Biometric Authentication

Used only to locally protect the application's vault using device-supported biometric authentication such as fingerprint or Face ID where available. Biometric data is managed by the operating system and is not accessible to Aura PDF.

Children's Privacy

Aura PDF is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Aura PDF does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Choices & Data Deletion

Your PDF files and application settings are stored locally on your device.

You can delete local application data at any time by using:

Clear Cache Clears temporary rendered thumbnails and cached scan frames.

Clear All Data Resets local workspace metadata and clears cached assets.

You may also uninstall the application at any time to remove all app-managed data from your device.

Aura PDF does not retain a copy of your PDF files on its own servers.

Changes to This Policy

Aura PDF may update this Privacy Policy as the application evolves.

When the policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

Continued use of Aura PDF after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by applicable law.
