Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 25, 2026

1. Overview

PDF Tools ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We built this service with a privacy-first approach: most tools process your files entirely in your browser and never send them to our servers.

2. File Processing

Browser-side tools (no upload)

Merge, Split, Extract Pages, Delete Pages, Reorder Pages, Rotate, Watermark, Add Page Numbers, PDF to JPG, JPG to PDF, and PDF to Text — these tools run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never transmitted to any server.

Server-side tools (temporary processing)

Compress PDF, Protect PDF, Unlock PDF, Word to PDF, Excel to PDF, PowerPoint to PDF, and HTML to PDF require server-side processing. Files uploaded for these operations are:

  • Processed immediately using Ghostscript or LibreOffice
  • Deleted from our servers immediately after the processed file is returned
  • Never stored, indexed, or shared with third parties
  • Held in memory for seconds at most

3. Data We Collect

We do not require accounts, logins, or personal information to use any tool. The only data we may collect:

  • Server logs: Standard web server logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL) for security monitoring. Logs are retained for 7 days and then deleted.
  • No cookies: We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies.
  • No analytics: We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics service.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Google Fonts (Geist font): Loaded from Google's CDN. Google may collect your IP address when the font is requested. Google Privacy Policy.

5. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data beyond temporary server logs, there is nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions about your data, contact us at the address below.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
