PDFProcess ("we", "us", "our") is fundamentally a privacy-focused service. This Privacy Policy outlines our unwavering commitment to protecting your privacy. Our core principle is simple: your files are your files. We do not and cannot view, access, store, or share your documents. All PDF processing occurs entirely on your own computer, within your web browser (client-side).
Unlike other online PDF services, PDFProcess does not upload your files to a server for processing. The tools you use are powered by JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries that run directly on your device. This means your data never leaves your computer, providing you with the highest level of privacy and security.
Because of our client-side architecture, we are technically incapable of collecting the following information:
To improve our website and services, we may collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information. This type of data helps us understand how users interact with our site, which tools are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience. This includes:
We use privacy-respecting analytics platforms for this purpose. Specifically, we use Simple Analytics and Google Analytics to track anonymous visit counts. This means we can see how many users visit our site, but we never collect personal information or identify individual users. These analytics platforms are GDPR-compliant and respect user privacy.
PDFProcess may display advertisements through Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with relevant advertisements.
Cookies Used: We use the following types of cookies:
Your Choices: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. However, disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.
Third-Party Advertising: Third-party advertisers may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance.
Data Sharing: We may share anonymized, aggregated data with advertising partners to help them deliver relevant advertisements. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
PDFProcess is built using powerful, open-source libraries like PDF-lib.js and PDF.js. These libraries are trusted by developers worldwide and operate under the same client-side principle. While we have vetted these libraries, we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for your own peace of mind.
Since your files are never transmitted over the internet to our servers, you are protected from potential data breaches during transit or storage on a server. The security of your documents is in your hands and protected by the security of your own computer and web browser.
Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
