Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Military Office uses, where it goes and the choices you have. Military Office is an offline office suite: PDF editor, Word and PowerPoint reader, document scanner, tactical dictionary and telemetry tools. By using the app, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Summary

• No accounts: The app has no sign-in and no user accounts. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or contacts.
• Stays on your device: Your documents, scans, recognised text, handwriting, highlights, custom abbreviations, categories and settings are processed and stored only on your device. Files leave your device only when you choose to share, export or print them.
• Location: Used in real time for the compass/telemetry feature only. It is never stored, logged or transmitted off your device.
• Collected by third parties: Google AdMob collects device and advertising identifiers to serve ads, and RevenueCat receives an anonymised app user ID and purchase history to verify Pro purchases. Some ads are delivered by Meta Audience Network through AdMob mediation.
• Ads and purchases: Yes. Free users see ads; an optional Pro upgrade removes ads and unlocks premium tools.

2. Information the App Uses

• Your documents: PDF, Word (.doc/.docx) and PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) files you open or edit, scanned pages, photos, OCR-recognised text, handwriting, highlights and your custom abbreviation database are processed and stored only on your device using on-device engines. They are never uploaded to our servers. Files leave your device only when you deliberately choose to share, export or print them.
• Document scanning (on-device): The scanner and text-recognition features use Google ML Kit's on-device Document Scanner and Text Recognition models, both of which run locally through Google Play services. Scanned images and recognised text are processed on your device and are not transmitted to us. The app does not request the Camera permission directly; ML Kit's scanner handles capture through its own sandboxed interface.
• Location (precise, GPS): We request location access solely to power the compass/telemetry (Qibla direction and bearing) feature. Location is read in real time to calculate direction and is never stored, logged or transmitted off your device.
• Files you select: When you use file import/export, the Smart Picker or the bulk abbreviation upload feature, the app reads and writes files (.pdf, .docx, .pptx, .txt, .csv, images) that you explicitly select from your device's storage. These files are used only to open, edit or update content locally and are never uploaded to the cloud unless you choose to share them via the system share sheet.
• Notifications and exact alarms: We request notification and exact-alarm permissions to deliver the scheduled "Abbreviation of the Day" reminder. It is scheduled entirely on your device's local clock; we do not track or transmit your interaction with notifications.
• Device identifiers: Our advertising and subscription providers (see Section 3) collect device and advertising identifiers to serve ads and verify purchases.

3. Third-Party Services

To provide advertising, updates and the Pro upgrade, the app uses the following providers, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Google AdMob: Free users see app open, interstitial, native and rewarded ads, which keep the base app free. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, approximate IP-based location, app interaction and diagnostic data to serve and measure ads. Users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are shown a consent dialog before any personalised ads load. See the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses advertising data.
• Meta Audience Network (through AdMob mediation): some ads are delivered by Meta Platforms' Audience Network, which Google AdMob can select through mediation. When it delivers an ad, Meta may receive your device's advertising ID, IP address, device information and ad interaction data to show, measure and protect ads. See the Meta Privacy Policy.
• Google Play Billing and RevenueCat: The optional Pro upgrade (ad removal and premium tools) is purchased through Google Play Billing. RevenueCat receives an anonymised app user ID and purchase history to verify your Pro entitlement. We never see, process or store your payment card details. See the Google Privacy Policy and the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
• Google Play In-App Updates: The app uses Google Play's in-app update API to tell you when a newer version is available. This only checks version metadata with Google Play; no personal data is involved.
• Google ML Kit: The Document Scanner and Text Recognition models run on your device through Google Play services, as described in Section 2. See the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• No account data: Because Military Office works without user accounts, we hold no personal profile data on any remote server.
• Local data: Documents, scans, custom abbreviations, categories and settings are stored on your device. You can delete them at any time in Android Settings > Apps > Military Office > Storage > Clear storage, or by uninstalling the app.
• No deletion request needed: Because we do not collect or transmit personal data to our own servers, you do not need to send us a deletion request. If you have any question about your data, you can still contact us (see Contact).
• Advertising and purchase data: Data collected by AdMob is retained by Google under Google's policies. Purchase records are handled by Google Play and RevenueCat under their own policies. Data received by Meta through mediation is kept by Meta under its own policies.

5. Analytics and Tracking

We do not use general-purpose usage tracking, behavioural analytics or crash-analytics SDKs of our own. Our third-party partners (AdMob and RevenueCat) collect only the minimum telemetry required to serve ads and confirm your Pro status.

6. Your Choices and Rights

• Permissions: You can grant or revoke location and notification permissions at any time in Android Settings.
• Ad consent: Where applicable (EEA, UK, Switzerland), a consent dialog is shown on launch, letting you grant or deny personalised ad tracking.
• Opt out of personalised ads: You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time in your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalisation), or reset your advertising ID from the same menu.
• Your rights: Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA/UK), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to processing. Because the app keeps your data on your device, most of these you can exercise directly on the device; for anything else, contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

Military Office is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through a third-party service in the app, please contact us so it can be removed.

8. Security

Your documents, scans and dictionary data are never transmitted to our servers, so the app's design itself limits the risk of a server-side data breach. Password-protected PDFs you export use AES-256 encryption. Data exchanged with our ad and billing partners is encrypted in transit. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Processing

The third-party services named above (Google and RevenueCat) may process data on servers outside your country, under their own safeguards. This includes Meta Platforms, which delivers some ads through AdMob mediation.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect legal or feature changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will also note them in the app's store listing or release notes.

11. Contact

If you have any questions or requests about this policy or how your data is handled, email us at [email protected]. You can also use the Direct Transmission Hub at the bottom of this page.
