There is no document server
YapPDF has no backend that accepts files. There is no endpoint to upload to, which means there is nothing for us to read, retain, or leak.
Privacy
Your PDFs are opened, parsed, and spoken locally on your Android device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account tied to anything you read.
YapPDF has no backend that accepts files. There is no endpoint to upload to, which means there is nothing for us to read, retain, or leak.
You do not sign in, so no profile is built around your reading. No email address is collected and no document history is transmitted.
The app stores only what it needs while a document is open. Removing the app removes everything it held — there is no server-side copy to request.
Android permissions
YapPDF requests three permissions, each tied to a specific job. None of them grant access to the contents of your device beyond the file you choose to open.
Privacy policy
Effective date: 20 September 2026 · Applies to the app “YapPDF: PDF Voice Reader” on Google Play.
YapPDF: PDF Voice Reader (the "App") is developed by Tentor Production (the "Developer"). This policy describes how the App handles information. In short: it does not collect, transmit, or store your documents or personal data on any server, because the App does not operate any servers.
The App is built to process everything locally. Reading this policy should take less time than importing your first PDF.
PDF files are chosen by you through Android's Storage Access Framework, read directly from your device's storage, parsed in the App's memory, and converted to speech by the on-device text-to-speech engine.
Your documents are never uploaded, transmitted, cached on remote infrastructure, or made accessible to the Developer or any third party. There is no cloud component — no upload endpoint exists.
The App collects no personal information. It does not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, or advertising identifiers. It contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party tracking libraries.
Because there is no account system, there is no registration data, no reading history tied to an identity, and no profile of any kind.
The App stores only what it needs to function: your library state (imported document references and reading position) and your preferences such as selected voice, accent, and playback speed. All of this lives in the App's private storage on your device.
This data never leaves your phone. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all of it, including any recent-document references.
Storage Access Framework — used only to open the specific PDF file you select. The App reads nothing else on your device.
Foreground Service — keeps speech running reliably while you use other apps or lock your screen. Android requires a visible notification whenever this service is active.
Notifications — hosts the playback controls and progress indicator so you can pause, resume, or change speed without reopening the App.
None of these permissions grant the App or the Developer access to the contents of your device beyond the file you choose to open.
The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children. Since no data is collected at all, no data from children can exist on our side.
The App uses the text-to-speech engine already installed on your Android device. That engine is part of your operating system and is governed by your device manufacturer's policies, not by the Developer. The App itself integrates no third-party services, servers, or SDKs that receive your data.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Material changes will also be noted in the App's release notes on Google Play.
For any question about this policy or the App's behaviour, contact the Developer directly. Every message is read by a human.
