WO PDF Privacy Policy
1. Summary
- WO PDF has no user accounts and no servers of ours that receive your files.
- Your documents, photos, signatures and recognized text are processed on your device. We do not receive them.
- We have not added advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services of our own to the app, and it does not request the Android advertising ID permission. Google components built into the app's billing system are described in section 4.
- Subscription payments are processed through Google Play billing. We do not receive your card or bank details through the app.
- Android backup is turned off for the app, so its library is not included in Google backups or device-to-device transfers. Copies you save in the Documents/WO PDF folder are ordinary files (see section 3).
2. Who is responsible
WO PDF is published by APPWO (EKOSEPET ONLİNE ALIŞVERİŞ REKLAM DANIŞMANLIK HİZMETLERİ PAZARLAMA TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ) ("we", "us").

3. What the app stores on your device
| What | Where | Why | Leaves the device? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saved PDFs (the PDF itself, file name, page count, size, date) | Private storage of the app (the app's web view database) | Shows your library inside the app | No, unless you share a file |
| Saved signatures (images you draw, up to 10) | Private storage of the app | Lets you reuse a signature | No |
| Small settings: a counter for the Free plan allowance, the last verified subscription status with a time stamp, and your language choice (if you pick one in Settings) | Private storage of the app | Applies plan limits; keeps paid features available for up to 3 days if Google Play cannot be reached; remembers your language | No |
| Unfinished scan draft (the photos of the pages you added, crop and filter choices, page order, document name) | Private storage of the app (a separate app database) | Lets you continue after Android closes the app, for example while the camera app is open | No |
| Copies of PDFs and of images created from PDFs | Documents/WO PDF folder in your device's shared storage | Makes your files easy to find with other apps | No, unless you share a file |
| Temporary share copies | App cache | Hands a file to the Android share sheet | Only to the app or person you choose |
Details:
- Unfinished scan draft. While you build a PDF from photos, the app saves the pages you have added (the photos, crop and filter choices, page order and size, quality and document name) in its private storage shortly after each change. This lets you continue if Android closes the app, for example while the camera app is open. The draft stays on your device, also after you close and reopen the app, until you create the PDF from it, remove all of its pages, or choose Delete when the app asks whether to continue your draft. Clearing the app's storage also removes it.
- Documents/WO PDF copies. When you create or save a file, the app also tries to place a copy in the Documents/WO PDF folder. If that fails, the file stays in the app's library. These copies are ordinary files outside the app's private storage. Other apps that you allow to access your files can read them, and they may remain on your device if you uninstall the app. Delete them with a file manager if you do not want them.
- Temporary share copies are deleted each time you share and when the app opens. You can also clear them under Settings, Temporary files.
- Camera. When you use the camera tool, WO PDF asks your device's camera app to take the picture and receives the photo from it. WO PDF does not request the camera permission and does not save your photos to the gallery.
- Files you pick from your gallery or storage are read through the Android file picker, only the files you select.
- Text recognition (OCR) runs on your device. It reads English and Turkish text together, using language data that is built into the app. The recognized text stays in the app unless you copy or share it.
- Video frames. A video you choose is decoded on your device to let you pick frames.
4. Network connections and other parties
What we do not do. We do not upload your documents. We have not added any analytics, advertising, attribution or crash-reporting service of our own to the app. The app is built to use its program code, fonts and OCR language data from files packaged inside it, not from the internet.
Google Play. Subscriptions use the Google Play billing system, and the app contains Google's Play Billing Library.
- When you open the app, when you return to it from another app, and when you buy, restore or manage a subscription, the app talks to Google Play on your device. It asks for your subscription status and for the prices shown on the Plans screen. Google Play shows prices in your currency and processes the payment.
- The app reads your purchase status from Google Play on your device (for example the product, whether the purchase is active and acknowledged, and a purchase token) in order to unlock features. If a new purchase has not been acknowledged yet, the app confirms it to Google Play using the purchase token. This information is not sent to us.
- We do not receive your name, email address, card or bank details through the app.
- The Google Play Billing Library and other Google components built into the app may send technical diagnostics to Google, for example whether billing calls succeed or fail, connection problems, and device information such as the device model and manufacturer, the device build fingerprint, language, country and mobile operator code. The app does not send this information to us, and we do not control what these components send. Google describes how it handles such information in the Google Privacy Policy.
- The "manage subscription" button opens a Google Play page outside the app.
Reports and reviews from Google to us. As the publisher of the app we can see sales and financial reports in Google Play Console. According to Google's documentation these can include the order number, product, buyer country, state and postal code, device model, amounts and status of the order. We use them for accounting, tax, refunds and support. If you write a review of WO PDF in Google Play, Google Play Console shows us your user name, star rating, review text and time stamp, and sometimes device, app version and language details; we may reply to it. Google also provides us with crash and performance statistics (Android vitals) collected from devices whose users chose to share usage and diagnostic data with Google; the app does not include a separate crash-reporting service of our own.
When you share a file. If you send a file to another app or person using the Android share sheet, the recipient receives it and handles it under its own terms.
Android components. The app shows its screens using Android System WebView. Open-source libraries used by the app are listed at Open-source notices.
5. Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | Declared by the app and by the Google components built into it, such as the Google Play billing components. The app does not use it to send your documents. |
| Google Play billing | Lets you subscribe and lets the app check your subscription. |
| Read and write external storage (Android 9 and lower only) | Lets the app place copies in the Documents folder on older Android versions. |
The app does not request access to your location, contacts, microphone, camera, notifications, or the advertising ID.
6. Contacting us for support
If you write to us we receive your email address, your message, and any attachments or device details you choose to send. We use them to answer you and to handle subscription, refund and support requests. Please do not send documents that contain sensitive information unless it is necessary. Giving us this information is voluntary and you do not need to write to us to use the app; without it we cannot handle your request. Support messages are handled through our email service, Google Workspace (Google). Only an email that you decide to write to us yourself, from your own email account outside the app, goes through it; WO PDF does not send your documents on this route. Section 7 describes transfers abroad.
7. Who receives your data and transfers abroad
We do not receive your documents, photos, signatures or recognized text, so we cannot pass them on to anyone.
The personal data we do hold (support messages, sales records and reviews, see sections 4 and 6) may be passed on only for the purposes described in this policy and only as far as needed, to:
- our email provider, Google Workspace (Google), through which your support messages are handled (see below for transfers abroad),
- providers of accounting and certified public accountant services, for bookkeeping and tax compliance (we share only sales and payment records with them, meaning the order, amount and status details described in section 4, and not your documents or card or bank details),
- public authorities, where the law requires us to give them information.
Payments for subscriptions are processed through Google Play. For the payment data that Google Play collects from you, it acts as a data controller in its own right and under its own privacy policy, and your card or bank details are not available to us. Reviews you write in Google Play are published and managed by Google Play. The sales records and review details that Google Play Console shows us as the publisher are described in section 4.
Some recipients may be located outside your country. Google Workspace, which handles the support messages you choose to send us, may process data in countries outside Türkiye and the European Economic Area, including the United States. Where such a transfer takes place, it is made under the safeguards that the GDPR recognises (for example standard contractual clauses) and, where Turkish law applies, by the methods that Article 9 of the KVKK permits. For a summary of these safeguards, write to info@viq.com.tr. Your documents are not part of this route: WO PDF does not send them to us or to Google Workspace, and only a support message that you choose to send us yourself enters it, together with any attachment you decide to add.
8. How long we keep data
- On your device: until you delete it, clear the app's storage or uninstall the app. This includes an unfinished scan draft, which is also removed when you create the PDF from it. Copies in Documents/WO PDF stay until you delete them and may survive an uninstall. See Data deletion.
- Support messages: for as long as needed to resolve your request, follow it up and handle any disputes; they are then deleted or anonymised.
- Sales and accounting records: as long as the law requires, which is the period provided by Turkish commercial and tax legislation.
9. Security
The app keeps its library in its own private storage, which Android separates from other apps. The app does not add its own encryption on top of that, so the protection of your files also depends on your device lock and device encryption. Files in the Documents/WO PDF folder are ordinary files and are not protected by the app. Backups are turned off, so the app's library, signatures and unfinished scan draft are not included in Android cloud backups or device-to-device transfers. If you change phones, share or export the PDFs you want to keep first.
10. Your choices and rights
You control the files on your device. We cannot see, recover or delete them for you; see Data deletion for how to remove them yourself.
For the personal data we do hold (support messages, sales records and reviews), depending on where you live you may have the right to ask us for access, correction, deletion, restriction, to object, or to receive your data. Write to info@viq.com.tr. We may ask you for information needed to confirm who you are. We answer within the time the applicable law requires (for example, one month under the GDPR and 30 days under Turkish law).
European Economic Area and United Kingdom. Under the GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Articles 15 to 21), and the right to complain to a supervisory authority in the country where you live or work or where you think the problem happened (Article 77). In the United Kingdom, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Where we process support messages and reviews we rely on our legitimate interest in answering you (Article 6(1)(f)); for subscribers and refunds on the performance of the subscription (Article 6(1)(b)); and for accounting records on legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)). Who receives your data and whether it leaves your country is described in section 7, and how long we keep it in section 8.
Turkey (KVKK). Under Law No. 6698 you may apply to us about the matters listed in Article 11, and complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (Article 14). The full information notice required by Article 10 of that law is in the Turkish version of this policy.
California. To the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to us, you may ask what personal information we hold, ask us to delete or correct it, and you will not be treated differently for using these rights. The personal information we may hold is limited to identifiers (such as the email address you write from or the user name on a Google Play review), commercial information (purchase records provided by Google) and the content of your messages and reviews. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
11. Children
WO PDF is intended for people aged 18 and over. It is not directed at younger children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has sent us personal data, write to info@viq.com.tr and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, we update the date at the top and publish the new version at this address. If a change affects how your data is handled, we will also mention it in the release notes of the next app update.
