# Privacy Policy for KODEKS

**Effective date:** October 14, 2026

KODEKS ("the App") is a PDF reader designed to let users read documents in their original form or in a manuscript-inspired reading mode.

Your privacy is important to us. KODEKS is designed to process documents locally on your device and does not require an account.

## 1. Information We Collect

KODEKS does **not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share personal information**.

The App does not collect:

- Names or contact information
- Account information
- Precise or approximate location
- Device identifiers
- Advertising identifiers
- Usage analytics
- Crash analytics
- Browsing history
- Contacts
- Photos
- Microphone or camera data
- Financial information

KODEKS does not contain advertising, analytics, tracking, or behavioral profiling SDKs.

## 2. PDF and Document Processing

PDF files opened with KODEKS are processed locally on your device.

KODEKS does not upload your PDFs, document contents, extracted text, images, or OCR results to our servers or to third-party services.

Documents may be accessed through Android's system file picker or through the Android "Open with" functionality.

Temporary copies or processed document data may be stored in the App's local cache when necessary for reading and processing.

This locally stored data remains on your device and can be removed by clearing the App's storage/cache or uninstalling the App.

## 3. OCR Processing

KODEKS includes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality for scanned or image-based documents.

OCR processing is performed locally on your device.

The OCR engine and supported language data, including Turkish and English recognition resources, are packaged with the App.

Your documents and OCR results are not sent to an external OCR service.

## 4. Internet Permission

The Android version of KODEKS includes the `INTERNET` permission because the internal application interface is loaded through the local Capacitor WebView environment.

This permission does not mean that KODEKS uploads your documents or personal information to a remote server.

The core PDF reading and OCR functionality is designed to work offline.

## 5. Permissions

KODEKS uses only the permissions required for the App to function.

The App does not request access to:

- Location
- Contacts
- Camera
- Microphone
- Broad device storage
- Phone or SMS data

PDF files are accessed using Android's Storage Access Framework and `content://` URIs, allowing users to choose which documents the App may open.

## 6. Third-Party Components

KODEKS uses software libraries required to provide its functionality, including components for:

- PDF rendering
- User interface rendering
- Android application integration
- Local OCR processing

These components are used as part of the App itself.

KODEKS does not integrate third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting services.

## 7. Data Sharing

KODEKS does **not share user data with third parties**.

Because KODEKS does not collect personal information or document contents, there is no collected user data to sell or share.

## 8. Data Retention and Deletion

KODEKS does not maintain a remote user database.

Any document-related temporary data created by the App remains locally on the user's device.

Users can delete locally stored App data by:

- Clearing KODEKS storage or cache through Android settings, or
- Uninstalling KODEKS.

## 9. Accounts

KODEKS does not require users to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information to use the App.

## 10. Advertising

KODEKS currently contains **no advertisements** and does not use advertising SDKs.

## 11. Children's Privacy

KODEKS is a general-purpose PDF reader and is not specifically designed or directed toward children under the age of 13.

KODEKS does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.

## 12. Security

Since documents are processed locally, KODEKS minimizes the transfer of sensitive document data outside the user's device.

However, users are responsible for protecting access to their own device and files.

## 13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if KODEKS features or data practices change.

Any changes will be published on this page together with an updated effective date.
