PrintFold Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

PrintFold lets you print photos, posters, ID photos and PDFs without an account. This policy explains which data the app processes and why.

Your photos and documents stay on your device

Editing, background removal, poster splitting, ID photos and PDF tools run on your phone. Your photos and documents are not uploaded to our servers. On Android, background removal may use Google's on-device ML Kit model, which Google Play services downloads once; the image itself is processed on the device. Location (EXIF/GPS) data is removed from exported images by default.

Printing

Wi-Fi printing finds printers on your local network and sends the job directly to the printer. Print jobs do not pass through the internet or our servers. When you print through the system print dialog, your device's print service handles the job.

Data sent to our server

• Announcement notifications: a randomly generated device ID, the notification token, platform, app version, OS version and language, so we can send announcements (new features, tips). Notifications are delivered by Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service. Turning off Settings → Notifications → Announcements deletes the token, and no more announcements reach that device.

Our server is hosted by Railway in an EU data centre. We do not sell your data and do not use analytics tracking.

Ads (free version)

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Where required, the app asks for your consent first (Google's consent form; on iOS the App Tracking Transparency prompt). Google may process your device's advertising ID and approximate location to show and measure ads, as described in Google's advertising policy. With PrintFold Pro the ad SDK is not loaded at all.

Purchases

Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Google Play or the App Store. Card details never reach the app or us.

Permissions

• Photos: through the system picker, only the ones you choose.
• Camera (optional): to take a photo, for example an ID photo. No audio is recorded.
• Local network: to find printers.
• Notifications: print status, reminders and announcements.

Contacting us

The "Contact us" form opens your own email app. We receive what you send: your email address, your message and the device details you choose to include. We use them only to answer you.

Keeping and deleting data

Projects and settings live only on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the app. To delete the announcement registration held on our server, write to [email protected]; we complete requests within 30 days.

Children

PrintFold is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy; the current version is always on this page.
