Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. PDF Private is designed with privacy in mind, aiming to minimize data collection and maximize user control.

Our Privacy Approach

Client-Side Processing

All PDF processing is performed locally in your browser. Files are not uploaded to our servers, helping you maintain control over your documents.

Minimal Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or analyze your files or personal information. Our tools are designed to operate without requiring access to your data.

What We Don't Collect

We do not intentionally collect or store:

  • PDF files or their contents
  • Personal information or contact details
  • Usage patterns or behavioral analytics
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Cookies or tracking identifiers

How It Works

Our tools use WebAssembly and other modern browser technologies to process files locally:

  • Files are loaded into your browser's memory
  • Processing occurs entirely on your device
  • No data is transmitted to our servers
  • Temporary data is cleared after processing

What We May Collect

To ensure basic functionality and improve performance, we may collect limited, non-identifiable information:

  • Anonymous usage statistics
  • Basic performance metrics
  • Error logs (excluding file contents)

This data is used solely to maintain and improve the service.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to support website functionality, such as:

  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for faster access
  • Analytics tools (configured to collect anonymized data only)

We strive to ensure that any third-party services we use follow privacy-conscious practices.
