PDF Secure Pro — Privacy, Support & Terms

v1.5

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2025

PDF Secure Pro is designed to protect your PDF files with passwords entirely on your device. We do not operate servers for this app, and we do not collect analytics.

What Data We Collect

Personal data: None collected.
Usage analytics: None collected.
Crash reporting: None collected.

On-Device Processing

PDF files: Selected PDFs are processed locally to apply a password. Files are not uploaded.
Passwords: If you use the built-in generator or save a password, it’s stored locally in your device’s storage and can be cleared at any time in Settings → Password History → Clear History.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple. We receive entitlement status (e.g., whether Pro is unlocked) but no personal information such as your name or email.

Children’s Privacy

The app is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect any personal data from children.

Your Choices

Clear saved passwords in Settings → Password History → Clear History.
Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
Questions or requests: pm@1kbapps.com.

Changes

We may update this policy for clarity or legal reasons. We will update the “Last updated” date above when changes are published.

Support

Need help? Email pm@1kbapps.com. We usually respond within 2 business days.

Quick Start

Open PDF Secure Pro → Protect tab.
Tap Select PDF and choose a file from the Files app.
Enter a password or tap Generate Strong Password.
Tap Protect PDF and share the protected file from the share sheet.

FAQ

Where are my files processed? On your device only.
What are the password rules? 4–20 characters; use a strong random password.
Can I view my generated passwords? Yes, see the Passwords tab. You can copy or clear them from Settings.
How do I restore purchases? Settings → Upgrade → Restore Purchases.
I can’t open a protected PDF. Ensure the viewer supports password-protected PDFs (Apple Books, Files, etc.).
Does the app upload anything? No. There’s no account and nothing is uploaded.

Troubleshooting

“Protect” button disabled: Select a PDF and enter a valid password (4–20 chars).
Share fails or hangs: Try saving to Files first, then share from Files.
Large PDFs: Ensure you have free storage; try closing background apps.
Restore isn’t working: Ensure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID; tap Restore Purchases in Settings.
