Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 8, 2026

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

User Accounts

Creating an account in SparkPDF is optional.

If you choose to create an account, the following information may be collected:

  • Email address
  • Display name or optional profile information you provide

This information is used only to support account functionality and improve your experience within the app.

Analytics and Diagnostics

SparkPDF uses analytics and diagnostic tools to help improve the app and ensure reliability. These tools may collect limited technical information such as:

  • Device type
  • Operating system version
  • App version
  • Usage events within the app
  • Crash reports and error diagnostics

These services may be provided by trusted partners such as Google Firebase.

No document contents or file data are collected through these tools.

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.

Payments and subscriptions are processed securely through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The developer does not collect or store payment card information.

You may receive promotional access, coupons, or limited-time trial offers that temporarily unlock premium functionality.

Data Storage

User files such as PDFs, signatures, and stamps are stored locally on your device.

SparkPDF does not upload your documents to the developer's servers for any document operation. Files remain on your device unless you explicitly export, print, share, or back them up using services you control.

Permissions Used by the App

SparkPDF may request access to certain device features to provide functionality:

  • Camera – Used for scanning documents
  • Photos or Media Library – Used to import images or documents
  • Files or File Access – Used to open, import, organize, and save PDF files

These permissions are only to enable app features and can be managed or revoked at any time in your device settings.

Advertising

SparkPDF does not display advertisements and does not use advertising networks.

Children's Privacy

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.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
