## Privacy

RevPDF does not automatically upload PDF files, scanned images, annotations, signatures, or recognised text to RevPDF-operated servers for processing. Editing, OCR recognition, redaction, conversion, compression, and scanning run locally. Connections can include automatic update checks and font downloads, mobile AdMob initialization and ads, app-store product and entitlement checks, Android scanner-component downloads, and a user-approved Windows/Linux OCR-model download. A provider selected for sharing, export, opening, or saving may receive the chosen document. See the privacy policy for details.
