Privacy · Last updated 16 November 2026

Your documents. Your control.

This policy describes the CartaForge PDF Editor app, developed by Binoy Babu. The app is designed to scan, edit, sign and save PDFs on your device.

In short: the app does not collect any data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no developer-operated server.

Your documents

PDFs you open, scan, create or edit are processed on your device. The app does not upload them anywhere. On iOS, your PDFs are saved in the app's folder in your iCloud Drive when iCloud Drive is on, and on your device otherwise. Copies in iCloud Drive are stored by Apple in your iCloud account under Apple's privacy policy; the developer has no access to them. On Android, PDFs are saved in the Documents/CartaForge PDF Editor folder on your device, where other apps with access to your files may be able to read them.

Camera and scanning

The app asks for camera access only to scan documents. Captured pages and the text recognized in them stay on your device. On iOS, text recognition uses Apple's on-device Vision framework. On Android, the document scanner and text recognition are provided by Google Play services (ML Kit) and run on the device; Google may process limited diagnostic information under its own policies.

Photos

When you add an image such as a stamp or logo, you pick it with the system photo picker, which gives the app only the image you choose. The app does not get access to your photo library.

Digital signatures and keys

Signing keys you create are generated and stored in your device's secure keychain and do not leave it. Certificates you import are kept on your device. Your name and the signing time are written into the PDFs you sign, as part of the signature.

Fonts

Fonts you import are copied into the app's private storage on your device so they can be used for editing.

Sharing and other services

When you import a file, share a PDF, or print, your device uses the location or service you choose, such as Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Mail or a printer. Those services handle your files under their own privacy policies.

Analytics and advertising

The app does not include advertising, tracking, or an analytics or crash-reporting service. Device backups and diagnostic sharing provided by Apple or Google are controlled by your device and account settings.

Keeping and removing your documents

Your documents stay where they are saved until you delete them. Deleting the app does not delete PDFs saved in iCloud Drive or in your Documents folder; you can remove them in the Files app or a file manager.

Children

The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
