Critter Grove & PDF Expert Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Critter Grove and PDF Expert handle information when you use either app. Critter Grove contains advertisements. PDF Expert does not require an account and is designed to process documents locally on your device.

1. Overview

Critter Grove is a puzzle game. We aim to keep the app simple and do not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information in order to play.

PDF Expert is a document utility for reading, organizing, converting, annotating, signing, and sharing PDF files. It does not require an account or sign-in. Unless you intentionally use a system share action or open an external link, PDF processing is performed locally on your device.

2. Information We Collect

We do not ask you to directly submit personal information through the app. The app may store gameplay information on your device, such as level progress, completed puzzles, sound settings, or similar preferences.

For Critter Grove, third-party advertising partners may automatically collect or receive certain information from your device. This may include device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location inferred from network data, app interactions, crash or diagnostic information, and ad performance information.

3. Advertising

The app may show ads provided by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdMob or similar services. Advertising partners may use cookies, mobile advertising identifiers, IP addresses, or other technologies to serve, measure, limit, and improve ads.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from apps and sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may also be able to limit ad personalization or reset your advertising identifier through your device settings.

4. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

  • Operate the app and remember local gameplay progress or preferences.
  • Display Critter Grove advertisements and measure ad performance.
  • Maintain app stability, detect crashes, and improve the player experience.
  • Comply with legal obligations and platform policy requirements.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers and advertising partners that help operate, monetize, analyze, or improve the app. These partners process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable law.

We may also disclose information if required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Gameplay progress, document indexes, and preferences stored locally on your device remain there unless you clear the app data, reset the app, or uninstall the app. Critter Grove advertising partners may retain information according to their own policies. If you contact us with a privacy request, we will review and respond as required by applicable law.

7. Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information associated with the app. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the request and take appropriate action.

9. PDF Expert

PDF Expert is designed to minimize collection of document data. PDF files, generated outputs, annotations, signatures, and reading state remain on your device unless you choose a system action that sends or opens content elsewhere.

  • PDF Expert does not require an account, sign-in, or direct submission of personal information.
  • PDF Expert does not include advertising SDKs or personalized ad tracking.
  • Document indexing, recent-file information, and app preferences are stored locally.
  • When you choose Share, Open with, email, or an external website, the selected system or third-party service receives information according to its own policy.

10. International Users

Your information may be processed in countries or regions where our service providers or, for Critter Grove, advertising partners operate. Privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
