Privacy Policy – Statement PDF to Excel (Windows)

Effective November 3, 2026

This policy covers "Statement PDF to Excel - Offline Bank Statement to CSV" for Windows (the "app"), published by SoyaTools on Microsoft Store.

Your PDFs stay on your PC

The app reads the PDFs you choose and processes their text, page images, transactions and balance checks on your PC. Scanned pages are read locally with Windows' built-in OCR. PDFs and statement contents are not uploaded or sent to SoyaTools or an online conversion service. Exports are written to the locations you choose.

Opened document contents, page previews and PDF passwords are held for the session. PDF passwords are not saved. The app does not automatically save transaction contents in its settings or error logs.

Information we collect

SoyaTools does not collect or transmit your personal information or statement contents through the app. There is no SoyaTools account, advertising tracker or telemetry upload in the inspected app source.

Free page allowance: local records

The free allowance is 20 pages per calendar month on this PC. Usage is kept locally in an encrypted app data file, an encrypted Windows Registry value and Windows Credential Manager. These records are not sent to SoyaTools.

To avoid counting the same PDF twice in a month, local usage records also include the month, page count and a short hash derived from the PDF's contents. This hash is an identifier for duplicate counting, not a stored copy of the PDF or its transactions. Windows Credential Manager stores the monthly totals. The usage records are not limited to a single page counter.

Other settings kept on this PC

• The first-run notice state and chosen OCR language.
• Table-layout header words and your chosen column roles, with the last-used date, so the same layout can be recognized again. Transaction rows are not stored in these profiles.
• Dates of use and rating-prompt status, so the app can decide when to ask for a review.
• An encrypted local cache of the last successful Pro license check and subscription expiry when available, for limited offline license use.

These settings remain on your PC and are not automatically transmitted.

Microsoft Store services

The app uses Microsoft Store services for license checks, subscription products and prices, purchases and renewals, and rating or review requests. Pro is $6.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 1-week free trial where available. Microsoft processes Store account and payment information under the Microsoft Privacy Statement; SoyaTools does not receive your payment details. PDFs and statement contents are not uploaded for these operations.

Links to other SoyaTools apps open Microsoft Store only when you choose them. The app has no separate HTTP client or telemetry service in the inspected source. Its app-initiated online services are Microsoft Store services; PDF processing and Windows OCR run locally.

Children

The app is a general productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
