How Processing PDFs on Your Device Helps Protect Your Privacy

PDF files can contain private information, such as medical records, contracts, or tax documents. When you use an online PDF tool, your file is sent to that service to be processed, so it is important to understand how the service handles uploaded files.

LitePDF processes your documents on your device instead of uploading them to our servers. This guide explains how that helps protect your files and what happens when you view or edit a PDF.

1. Why It Matters Where Your PDF Is Processed

When an online tool edits a PDF, the process usually works like this:

1. You choose a file and send it to the service over the internet.
2. The service processes your file on its computers.
3. You download the finished document. How long the service keeps your original file depends on its privacy policy.

2. How LitePDF Works on Your Device

LitePDF opens and works with your PDF directly on your Android device. The file does not need to be sent to a server for the features described below.

• Read PDFs: The app displays pages on your device, including when you are offline.
• Merge or split files: You can combine documents, change page order, or save selected pages on your device.
• Choose what to open: LitePDF reads the document you select, not all the files on your phone.

3. Keeping Your Document Activity Private

LitePDF does not read your contacts or record the contents of your documents. It asks for access only to the file you choose to open.
