This Privacy Policy describes how SparkPDF ("we", "us", or "the app"), developed by Forgebase, handles information when you use our mobile application.
SparkPDF is a mobile application that allows you to scan documents, sign and fill PDF files, add signatures, stamps, text, and dates, reorder or delete pages, merge documents, organize files, and export, print, or share your documents.
SparkPDF is designed with a privacy-first approach. All document processing happens directly on your device.
Key privacy facts:
✓ PDF documents are processed locally on your device
✓ Documents are not uploaded to the developer's servers
✓ Your files remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to export, share, or back them up
✓ The developer cannot access your documents

Premium Features and Purchases
SparkPDF allows you to scan, sign, fill, organize, and merge PDF documents within the app. However, exporting, printing, or sharing the final document may require a purchase or subscription.

SparkPDF is not intended for children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Data Security
SparkPDF is designed to protect your privacy. Because document processing occurs locally on your device, documents are not transmitted to external servers controlled by the developer.
Reasonable measures are taken to protect any information associated with user accounts.
