This Privacy Policy describes how ChatPDF ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our mobile application.
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, or advertising identifiers, and the app does not require an account.
What is sent: To generate answers, the extracted text of the documents you add (including text from scanned pages and imported web pages) and your chat messages are transmitted to DeepSeek, a third-party artificial-intelligence service, through our secure server.
Who it is sent to: DeepSeek (deepseek.com). Our server acts only as a relay and does not store your content.
Your permission: This data is sent only after you explicitly agree to it in the app. Before your first message is sent, the app explains what will be shared and with whom, and asks for your consent. If you decline, nothing is transmitted.
What is not sent: No name, email address, device identifiers, or account details accompany this data. It is used solely to generate responses to your requests. Please review DeepSeek's Privacy Policy for how they handle data. We require that third parties processing your data provide the same or equal protection of user data as described in this policy and required by applicable app store rules.
We use the information described above only to:
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.
Each of these providers is contractually and legally required to protect your data with the same or equal protection as described in this policy.
Your documents, extracted text, and chat history are stored locally on your device and can be deleted at any time by deleting chats or documents in the app, or by uninstalling the app. Our relay server does not retain your document text or messages after your request is answered. Data transmitted to DeepSeek is handled according to their retention policy. All transmissions use encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we implement appropriate safeguards.
Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
