🔒 Offline-first · no ads · your documents stay on your deviceThis policy explains how Papyo ("Papyo", "we", "us", or "our") handles information in the Papyo mobile application (the "App"). Papyo is developed by Logopit, located in Türkiye. If you have any questions, contact us at support@papyo.app.
The PDFs, images, and Office files you open or create in Papyo are processed entirely on your device. We never receive, upload, or store your files or their contents — in any version of the App, free or Pro.
None. Papyo has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email, or phone number.
To keep the App stable and to understand which features are used, Papyo collects limited technical data — usage events and crash diagnostics — as described in section 8. This never includes your documents, does not include your advertising ID, and is not shared with any third party for their own purposes.
All of Papyo's features — in-place text editing, converting to and from Word/Excel/PowerPoint/HTML/images, merging, splitting, reordering pages, compressing, watermarking, and password protection — run locally on your device. Your content does not leave your phone to be processed.
Papyo's one optional network feature, the font download described in section 5, can be disabled in Settings so the App functions fully in airplane mode.
| Permission | Why Papyo uses it |
|---|---|
| Storage / All files access | To open the PDFs and documents you choose and to save the files you create or edit. Files are read and written locally; nothing is uploaded. |
| Camera | Only when you use the QR-code / barcode scanner. Scans are not stored or transmitted by us. |
Papyo does not request the Android advertising-ID permission, and no advertising identifier is collected (see section 7).
Papyo is offline-first. The App may connect to the internet only for:
If you buy Papyo Pro, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Google may share limited purchase information with us (such as whether an order completed) so we can activate your Pro features.
Papyo does not show ads. Not in the free version, not anywhere. That is a deliberate product decision, and it has three consequences for your privacy:
Papyo Pro is a capability subscription — it unlocks in-place text editing, fill & sign with digital signatures, and batch processing. It does not remove ads, because there are none to remove.
To keep Papyo reliable, the App uses Google Firebase as our processor:
Neither is shared with a third party for that party's own purposes, and you can turn both off in Settings whether or not you subscribe.
Papyo is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Because your documents stay on your device, their security is governed by your device's own protections (screen lock, encryption, and the permissions you grant). PDFs you password-protect in Papyo are encrypted locally. Please keep your device and Papyo up to date.
Papyo does not collect your documents or any account data, and collects only the limited technical data described in section 8 (with no advertising ID). Depending on where you live — for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, or Türkiye's KVKK — you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port personal data, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, email support@papyo.app and we will respond as required by law.
We do not use your data for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not sell or share your personal information.
Papyo has no user accounts, so there is no account to delete. The limited technical data described in section 8 is pseudonymous and is not tied to your identity. To stop all collection, turn off Analytics and Crash Reports in Settings, or uninstall the App (which also clears its local data). To request deletion of diagnostic data associated with your device, email support@papyo.app; we will action it, including via Google's Firebase deletion tools where applicable.
Papyo processes your content locally on your device wherever you are. The limited technical data handled by our service providers (Google Play, Firebase) may be processed in the countries where those providers operate, subject to their own safeguards.
We may update this policy as the App evolves. We will post the revised version here with an updated "Last updated" date, and for material changes we will provide a notice in the App or store listing.
