Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 22, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how NightOwl PDF Converter ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our website and Android app.

2. Scope

This policy applies to:

• Our website, including browser-based PDF tools.
• Our Android app distributed through Google Play.

3. Information We Collect

A) Website converter usage

• Files you process with browser tools are processed locally in your browser when possible.
• We do not intentionally store your source files on our server for in-browser conversions.
• We may collect basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, and request logs for security and reliability.
• If advertising or analytics scripts are enabled, those providers may collect cookies or device/browser identifiers.

B) Android app data

• Authentication data: Firebase Authentication identifiers (for example, anonymous user IDs) used to operate app features.
• Device and app identifiers: app instance information and device-level identifiers used for fraud prevention, purchase validation, and service operation.
• Subscription and billing events: purchase state, trial status, and related validation metadata.
• Usage and diagnostics: feature interaction and operational logs needed to monitor and improve the app.
• Local files: images and PDFs you create are stored on your device storage or app storage unless you choose a cloud flow.
• Advertising data: if ads are shown in the app, ad services may collect advertising identifiers and related metrics.

4. How We Use Information

• Provide core PDF conversion and management features.
• Authenticate users and keep service state consistent across sessions.
• Validate purchases, subscriptions, and free trial usage.
• Detect abuse, secure the service, and prevent fraud.
• Analyze app quality and improve performance and reliability.
• Display and measure ads where enabled.
• Meet legal obligations and enforce our terms.

5. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

Where data-protection laws such as GDPR apply, we process personal data under one or more of these legal bases: performance of a contract, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, and consent (for activities that require consent, such as certain cookies or personalized advertising in relevant regions).

6. Third-Party Services and Sharing

We use service providers to operate parts of the website and app. Depending on your usage, data may be processed by:

• Google Firebase services (for example Authentication, Cloud Functions, Hosting, and related infrastructure).
• Google Play services (distribution, billing flows, and integrity/security related services).
• Google advertising services, where ads are enabled.

We share data with providers only as needed for service operation, security, analytics, billing, legal compliance, and advertising.

7. Data Retention

• Website converter files: intended to be processed locally in-browser and not retained by us for conversion workflows.
• Operational logs: retained for a limited period needed for security, debugging, and reliability.
• Account and subscription records: retained while needed to provide service, handle disputes, prevent fraud, and meet legal/accounting requirements.
• Local app files: remain on your device until you delete them.

8. International Transfers

Our providers may process data in countries other than your own. When required, we rely on contractual and organizational safeguards provided by our service providers to protect transferred data.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain uses.

• You can request account/data actions through the contact methods in the app listing.
• You can manage ad settings through your Google account/device settings where supported.
• You can clear app data or uninstall the app to remove locally stored app data on your device.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as fully secure.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.

13. Contact
