Privacy Policy

SpeakPDF (Android application) · Last updated: April 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SpeakPDF (“we”, “us”, “the app”) collects, uses, and shares information when you install and use our mobile application on Android devices. It is intended to meet common requirements for Google Play and Google AdMob (mobile advertising). By using SpeakPDF, you agree to this policy.

1. App description

SpeakPDF is an Android app that lets you open PDF documents and listen to them using text-to-speech (TTS), along with related playback and document-reading features. Processing of document content for reading may occur on your device as supported by your phone or tablet and the Android system.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the app and your device settings, the following may apply:

• Advertising and device data (AdMob): If we display ads through Google AdMob, Google and its partners may collect or process identifiers and device-related data to deliver, measure, and improve advertising, including to show personalized or non-personalized ads where applicable. This can include the advertising ID and technical data such as device type, OS version, and general location at a regional level, as described in Google’s policies.
• Network requests: Features that use the internet (including ads and any online-dependent functionality) generate network traffic between your device and Google or other service providers.
• PDF content: PDFs you open are accessed on your device so the app can extract text for TTS. We do not operate a user login in the base app experience described here; your documents are not uploaded to our servers by this policy unless we ship a separate feature that clearly states otherwise in the app and update this policy.

3. How we use information

• To provide text-to-speech reading and related playback.
• To show and measure advertisements via AdMob where enabled.
• To comply with law, respond to abuse, and protect users and Google’s services.

4. Third-party services

The app may rely on services operated by third parties, including:

• Google AdMob (advertising) — see Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
• Google Play — app distribution and updates are subject to Google’s policies.
• On-device components (e.g. system Text-to-Speech engines) are provided by your device manufacturer / Google and are governed by their terms and your device settings.

5. Permissions

The app may request permissions such as:

• Internet — for advertisements (AdMob) and any network-based features.
• Post notifications — to show status related to background reading or playback, where applicable.
• Foreground service / media playback — so audio playback can run reliably in the background in line with Android rules.

You can review or revoke permissions in your device Settings → Apps → SpeakPDF (wording may vary by device).

6. Consent and regional requirements (EEA, UK, and others)

Where required by law (for example in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), we or Google may show a consent message for personalized advertising and use of cookies or similar technologies, using Google’s consent tools (such as the Google User Messaging Platform) when implemented in the app. You can change your choices later in-app or via system ad settings where available.

7. Children

SpeakPDF is not directed at children under 13 (or the age required by your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing. If you believe we have done so, contact us at the email above.

8. Data retention

Data handled by Google AdMob and Google advertising systems is retained according to Google’s policies. Locally processed PDF text on your device is not stored by us on our servers as part of this policy unless we add a cloud feature and update this document.

9. Security

We rely on industry-standard practices for app distribution through Google Play. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of information handled by third-party networks or devices.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when we change the app, add features (including advertising), or when required by law. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of the app after updates means you accept the revised policy, unless applicable law requires additional steps.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, or object to certain processing of personal data. You can also reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your Android settings where available. For requests related to this app, email us at freetesthub1@gmail.com.

Google Play “Data safety”: When you complete the Data safety form in Play Console, your answers should match what this policy says (for example: advertising, approximate location if disclosed by ad SDKs, device or other identifiers used for ads). Update this page if you add analytics, account login, or new SDKs.
