Privacy Policy — ASAPDF
Last updated: May 30, 2026 · Effective: May 30, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the ASAPDF application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.
Introduction
ASAPDF is a PDF tool for signing, editing, and sending documents for signature across your devices. We designed it to collect as little about you as possible: signing your own documents works without sharing them with us, and we collect information mainly to sync your documents when you ask us to, send documents you choose to other people for signature, process purchases, verify Pro access, and improve the app. This policy describes what is collected and how to limit it. ASAPDF is in active development; this policy reflects current plans and will be kept up to date as the product ships.
What We Collect
Your documents: when you only view, annotate, fill, or sign a document on your own device, that document stays on your device. When you turn on cross-device sync or send a document for signature, the document and its signature data are stored encrypted in our cloud storage so it can reach your other devices or the people you send it to. You control which documents this applies to.
When you send for signature: we process the recipient details you provide (such as an email address or a phone number, depending on the flow you choose) solely to deliver the signing request and record who signed and when in the document's audit trail.
For Pro activation and entitlement checks: when you activate ASAPDF Pro, the app signs in to your Bravely Account and sends the account identifier needed to verify your purchase, along with basic device and app-version information used for compatibility and activation diagnostics. Payment card details and billing information are handled exclusively by our merchant-of-record billing provider (web/desktop) or the applicable app store (mobile) — we never see or store them.
For product analytics: the apps can send aggregate product analytics such as onboarding completion, paywall views, signing-flow usage, subscription activation results, and update installs. Events are keyed to an anonymous install identifier unless you activate Pro, in which case events may be associated with your Bravely Account so we can troubleshoot entitlement issues. The contents of your documents are never sent to analytics.
Recipients & Signers
When you send a document for signature, the people you send to can open and sign it from a link or a scanned code without creating an account. We collect the information needed to complete and evidence the signing — such as the recipient identifier you supply, the signature they apply, a timestamp, and basic request metadata like IP address and device — and store it as part of the signed document and its audit trail. We do not use recipient contact details for marketing.
What We Do Not Collect
We do not collect any of the following:
• The contents of documents you only handle locally on your device
• Location data beyond the coarse request metadata recorded for signing audit trails
• Contacts, calendars, photos, camera, or microphone data, except files or signature captures you explicitly provide
• Advertising identifiers
• Browsing history from outside the app
Opting Out of Analytics
You can disable product analytics at any time in Settings → Privacy on each device. When disabled, no analytics events are sent from that installation. Purchase activation, entitlement checks, document sync (if you enabled it), send-for-signature delivery, and update checks remain necessary for those features to work while you use them.
Third-Party Services
We share the minimum information required to deliver the product with service providers that handle payments and billing, entitlement reconciliation, product analytics, hosting, encrypted document and attachment storage, message delivery for send-for-signature, and app updates. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
Data Retention
Documents you keep only on your device, settings, and cached Pro state stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Documents you sync or send for signature, and their audit trails, are retained in encrypted cloud storage until you delete them or close your account, subject to any retention required to evidence a completed signature. Server-side purchase and activation records (such as Bravely Account identifier, contact email, entitlement status, and activation request metadata) are retained for as long as needed to honor your purchase, troubleshoot entitlement issues, and prevent abuse. Analytics events are retained for up to 365 days. You can request deletion of your server-side records by emailing support@bravely.dev.
Children's Privacy
ASAPDF is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over the personal data we hold about you. We honor these rights for everyone who asks, regardless of where you live.
• Access — ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy.
• Correction — ask us to fix data that is wrong or incomplete.
• Deletion — ask us to delete your personal data by emailing privacy@bravely.dev from the address on your account. Where a product has a built-in Delete Account control you can use that instead; bravely.dev/delete-account explains what applies to each product.
• Portability — ask for your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Objection and restriction — ask us to stop or limit certain processing.
• Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent (marketing email, optional analytics), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that already happened.
• Non-discrimination — we will not degrade your service or charge you more for exercising any of these rights.
EEA and UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. California residents may use an authorized agent; we may verify the agent's authority and confirm the request with you first. Other US states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others as they take effect) have equivalent rights, including a right to appeal a denied request — reply to our decision email with "Appeal" and we will respond in writing within the period the law requires. Canadian residents have access, correction, and consent-withdrawal rights under PIPEDA; Australian residents have access and correction rights under the Australian Privacy Principles.
To exercise any right, email privacy@bravely.dev. We respond within the timeframe the applicable law requires — generally 30 days under GDPR and 45 days under the CCPA, with an extension where the law permits one. We may need to verify your identity before acting, usually by confirming control of the email address on the account.
Legal Basis for Processing
If you are in the EEA or UK, we rely on these lawful bases under the GDPR and UK GDPR:
• Performance of a contract — creating and securing your account, delivering the features you paid for, syncing your content, processing purchases, and providing support.
• Legitimate interests — keeping the service secure and reliable, preventing fraud and abuse, understanding aggregate product usage, and improving the product. We balance these against your rights and do not use them to justify intrusive tracking.
• Consent — marketing email, and optional analytics where a client offers a toggle. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — keeping tax, accounting, and consent records, and responding to lawful requests.
International Data Transfers
Bravely Studios LLC is a US company. We and our sub-processors process data in the United States and in other countries where they operate. For personal data originating in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate transfer safeguards in our processor agreements — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum — where those safeguards are required. Email privacy@bravely.dev if you want more detail about the safeguards that apply to you.
California Notice at Collection
For California residents, the categories of personal information we collect for this product are:
• Identifiers — your Bravely Account identifier, email address, and device or installation identifiers.
• Commercial information — records of purchases, subscriptions, entitlements, trials, and refunds.
• Internet or other electronic network activity — aggregate feature-usage events, app version, platform, crash and error reports.
• Coarse geolocation — a country-level signal derived from your network connection, used for consent rules and tax.
• Your content — only the content the product is built to store or sync for you, described in the sections above.
We collect this from you, your device, and our own systems, and we use it to run the product, honor what you have bought, keep the service secure, and support you. We disclose it to the service providers listed under "Sub-processors," each for a business purpose under a written contract.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined by the CCPA and CPRA, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose that would trigger the right to limit. If that ever changes we will update this policy and provide the required opt-out before the practice begins.
Retention is described under "Data Retention" above and, for account-level data, in the Bravely Account privacy policy.
Sub-processors
We use the following service providers to run this product. They receive only what they need to perform their service for us, and each is bound by the data-processing terms that apply to our use of their service. Where a provider is not yet covered by a written data-processing agreement with us, its entry below says so. If you need a data-processing agreement in place before you use this product, email privacy@bravely.dev:
• Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting, the Workers runtime, D1 databases, R2 object storage, and bot protection for bravely.dev and our app subdomains. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Google LLC — Firebase Authentication, which backs Bravely Account sign-in (including Sign in with Google). See policies.google.com/privacy.
• Apple Inc. — Sign in with Apple, and App Store purchase and receipt handling for our Apple platform apps. See apple.com/legal/privacy.
• Paddle.com Market Ltd — our merchant of record for purchases made on the web or in our desktop apps. Paddle handles checkout, payment processing, invoicing, and sales tax/VAT. See paddle.com/legal/privacy.
• RevenueCat, Inc. — validates App Store and Google Play receipts and reports subscription lifecycle events so we can unlock what you bought. See revenuecat.com/privacy.
• PostHog Inc. — product analytics for aggregate feature usage and reliability. See posthog.com/privacy.
• Resend Inc. — sends our transactional email (sign-in codes, receipts, password resets, support replies). See resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.
If we add or change a sub-processor in a way that materially changes how your data is processed, we will update this policy and give additional notice where the law or our data-processing commitments require it.
Security
We protect your data with authenticated accounts, encryption in transit, access controls on our backend systems, and a deliberately small number of people who can reach production. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim guarantees we have not built and verified. Where a product makes a specific security claim, that claim appears in the app-specific sections above and is limited to what we have actually shipped. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant regulators as required by law.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change — a new category of data, a new sub-processor, a new purpose, or a new legal basis — we will update the "Last updated" and "Effective" dates and give additional notice where the law requires it. Where a change requires fresh consent under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CASL, or a similar regime, we will ask for it before relying on the new purpose. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, link fixes) are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date.
