Privacy Policy — All Document Reader

Effective date: 6 September 2026  ·  Last updated: 6 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how All Document Reader (“the app”) handles your information. The app is developed by AB Apps (“we”, “us”).

Short version: the app does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. It has no account system, no servers, and no internet access. Everything the app does happens on your device.

1. Information we collect

None.

All Document Reader does not collect, store on a server, transmit, sell, or share any personal information or user data. Specifically, we do not collect:

• Personal identifiers (name, email address, phone number, user ID)
• Your documents, their contents, their names, or their file paths
• Location data
• Contacts, calendar, camera, microphone, or call data
• Advertising identifiers or device identifiers
• Usage analytics, crash reports, or diagnostic data

The app does not contain advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting software of any kind.

2. No internet access

The app does not request the INTERNET permission. It is technically incapable of sending your files or any other information off your device. It works fully offline and requires no account, sign-in, or registration.

3. Permissions we request, and why

All files access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) — Android 11 and above

All Document Reader is a document file manager. This permission is required for the app’s three core features:

• Automatic document discovery. The app scans your device’s shared storage and builds a list of the documents on it (PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, TXT), so your library is complete when you open the app without you having to select folders one at a time.
• Device-wide search. Searching for a file by name across all of your storage.
• In-place file management. Renaming, moving between folders, and deleting documents where they already live, without copying them into the app.

What we do with this access: we read the names, sizes, dates and locations of document files in order to list them, and we read a document’s contents only at the moment you open it, in order to display it on screen. When you explicitly choose to rename, move, or delete a file, we perform that action on your device.

What we never do with this access: we never upload, copy off the device, transmit, back up, sell, or share your files or any information about them. We do not scan or read files for advertising, profiling, or analytics. We do not access files for any purpose other than showing them to you and performing the actions you request.

Read and write external storage — Android 10 and below

On older Android versions, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE serve the same purpose as All files access above: listing, opening, and managing your documents on the device.

Declining permission

You may decline the permission or revoke it at any time in Settings → Apps → All Document Reader → Permissions. The app will continue to work in a reduced form, showing only the documents the Android system has already indexed. Revoking the permission does not delete any of your files.

4. Data stored on your device

The app keeps a small amount of data locally on your device so it does not have to re-scan your storage every time you open it:

• An index of document names, file paths, sizes and dates
• Your favourites and recently opened files
• Your app settings, such as theme preference

This data is stored in the app’s own private storage area on your device. It is never transmitted anywhere. It is deleted when you clear the app’s data or uninstall the app.

5. Third parties

The app contains no third-party SDKs, advertising networks, analytics providers, or trackers. We do not share data with third parties, because we do not collect any.

6. Children’s privacy

The app does not collect any data from anyone, including children. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Your rights

Because we do not collect or hold any of your data, there is nothing for us to disclose, correct, export, or delete on your behalf. All data the app creates lives on your device and is under your control: clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app removes it completely.

8. Security

Your documents never leave your device, which removes the risk of interception or server-side breach. Data the app stores locally is held in the app’s private storage area, which Android protects from other apps.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the “Last updated” date above and publish the revised policy at this same address. If we ever add a feature that collects or transmits data, we will update this policy and our Google Play Data safety declaration before that feature is released.
