Reader® Mobile SDK is a software development kit that allows developers to create applications under their own name (these are referred to as Developer Applications) that download and view digital content, primarily eBooks, which may or may not contain digital rights management (DRM). DRM is a technology used by eBook providers to manage the copying, printing and sharing of eBooks.
The Adobe Privacy Policy describes the general privacy practices of most of Adobe’s websites and applications including Reader Mobile SDK. More privacy-related information for Reader Mobile SDK is provided below.
The following information may be collected by Adobe when an eBook with DRM is opened by a Developer Application. If an eBook does not have any DRM associated with it, then no information is collected.
The data is sent periodically to Adobe via a secure transmission using HTTPS.
Adobe uses the information collected about the eBook an end-user has opened in the Developer Application to ensure that it is being viewed in accordance with the type of DRM licence that accompanies that eBook. The type of licence is determined by the eBook provider. For more information on how each piece of data is used, please see above.
Adobe does not share any personally identifiable information. Adobe may share anonymous aggregated information with eBook providers to enable billing under the applicable pricing model.
More information is available in Adobe’s white paper.
