Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

Beaver is a PDF app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, made by Eldar Tutnjic. This policy explains how Beaver handles your information.

We do not collect your data

Beaver does not collect, sell, or share personal data. There is no account to create, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. We do not run servers that receive your documents, photos, or scans.

Apple’s App Privacy label for Beaver is “Data Not Collected.” That matches how the app works.

What stays on your device

Beaver works on your device. Files you open, photos you pick, and pages you scan are processed locally so you can:

• Convert photos into a PDF
• Scan paper with the camera (iPhone and iPad)
• Split or merge PDFs
• Export selected pages as a PDF, PNG, or JPEG
• Recognize text with on-device OCR

Nothing you scan or convert is uploaded by the app.

Permissions Beaver may use

Beaver only asks for access when you choose a feature that needs it:

• Camera. Used to scan paper documents into PDFs. The app does not take photos in the background.
• Photos. Used when you pick photos to convert or add to a document. Beaver can access only the items you select, not your whole library.
• Files. Used when you open or save PDFs and images through the system file picker or share sheet.

You can deny a permission in Settings. Features that need that permission will not work until you allow it.

Preferences stored on your device

Beaver may save settings on your device, such as options you choose in the app. These preferences never leave your device.

Sharing and other apps

If you share a file through the system share sheet, Messages, Mail, Files, or another app, that sharing is something you start. Those apps and services have their own privacy policies. Beaver does not send the file to us.

Third parties

Beaver does not include analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or other third-party services that collect data about you.

Children

Beaver does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Open source

Beaver is open source. You can review the code, including how files are handled, in the public repository: https://github.com/31d4r/Beaver.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
