Ream · PDF Suite

Privacy policy

Effective September 5, 2026 · Ad-free build

Ream processes the contents of PDF, Word, image and OCR files on your device. This build has no advertising or analytics SDK and no Ream account. Documents leave the app only when you choose an external save or share destination.

Documents and recent files

Selected files, generated documents and recent-file history are processed locally. Ream does not send document contents, extracted text, filenames or recent-file history to its developer. The local library retains copies subject to available device storage. If a copy cannot be retained, Ream asks you to save the result before leaving.

Advertising and analytics

This ad-free build does not include AdMob, request advertising identifiers, display ads, or send advertising or analytics events. This policy describes this build; it does not retroactively change data handled by third-party services in earlier ad-supported builds.

Automatic app updates

OTA-enabled Android builds contact GitHub to check for and download signed app updates. GitHub receives ordinary request information such as your IP address, plus the update channel and native version in the download URL. Ream does not send an installation identifier, document contents, filenames or recent-file history with these requests. Updates download in the background and apply on the next app launch. Offline document tools remain usable without an update connection.

Camera and file access

Camera access is requested for scanning. You can use the system gallery instead. The system file picker, incoming Android shares, and the save/share sheet grant access to files you choose. Ream does not request broad storage or photo-library access.

Save, share and external links

The document provider or app you select receives the file you save or share and handles it under its own terms. Opening the support repository or a hosted web version contacts that website; its hosting provider may receive ordinary request information, such as your IP address. These external services operate separately from local document processing in the Android app.

Retention and deletion

You can delete individual files in Recents or clear the local library from Settings. Uninstalling the Android app or clearing its app data removes its private local storage. Temporary import/export copies are cleaned up after use or expire. Files already exported to other locations remain there until you delete them separately. Closing a screen does not erase copies already saved or shared.

Security

Android cloud backup is disabled for Ream app data, and the app disables cleartext network traffic. Local copies rely on your device's security; use a screen lock and choose trusted share destinations. Password protection applies to the PDF you protect and does not encrypt every file in the local library.
