Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Our approach to privacy

At PDFEditor, privacy is a core principle. We believe users should be able to edit, convert, and manage documents without having to give up personal information or upload files to a remote server. The tools on this site are designed to process files directly in the browser whenever possible, which means your document contents remain on your own device. This approach reduces exposure, strengthens control, and makes the service safer for everyday use.

Privacy is not just a feature here; it is part of the core user experience. We intentionally avoid asking for accounts, email addresses, or other personal details just to access the tools. The site is built so anyone can visit, choose a PDF task, and complete it quickly. This reduces the amount of data we need to handle, and it keeps the workflow focused on the task at hand.

What we collect

The amount of information we collect is minimal. We do not require users to log in, and we do not request personal information for most tool operations. The service may collect some basic technical data automatically, such as the browser type, the operating system, and general page usage metrics that help us maintain and improve the site. This information is collected to make the experience more reliable and to understand how the site is being used.

When we do collect data, it is used only for site maintenance and improvement. We do not combine this information with any personal profile or use it to identify individual users. Our intention is to keep analytics lightweight and helpful, without compromising privacy.

How your files are handled

Files are processed locally in your browser whenever possible. That means the document is loaded into the browser, processed there, and made available for download without being uploaded to an external server. After processing, you choose whether to save the resulting file. If you refresh the page, navigate away, or close the browser tab, the temporary data in the browser memory is typically cleared.

In cases where a feature requires a server operation, the content of your file is handled with care. We aim to avoid persistent storage. If a server is involved, the file data is retained only long enough to complete the requested operation, then it is removed. The general principle is to keep your data under your control and not retain it any longer than necessary.

Cookies and browser storage

We may use browser cookies or similar local storage to support the user experience. These technologies help remember preferences such as theme selection or tool options. Cookies are small files stored locally in your browser and are not used to track your activity across unrelated websites. They are intended only to make the site easier to use.

If you disable cookies or clear browser storage, the site may still work, but your preferences may not be preserved between visits. The primary functionality of the PDF tools is not dependent on cookies, so you can still use the service even if you prefer not to store them.

Advertising

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and similar technologies (such as device identifiers) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more detail on how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Advertising on this site is separate from our PDF tools. The tools themselves do not send your files to Google or any advertising partner; only standard page-level advertising data (such as the page you are viewing) is shared with Google to serve relevant ads.

Analytics and performance data

Any analytics data collected is used solely to understand how the site performs and how users interact with it. We use this information to identify bugs, improve load times, and make the tools more intuitive. The data is aggregated and anonymized, which means it is not linked to personal information or individual visitors.

This kind of performance data helps us make the service better for everyone. It is not used for advertising or for building user profiles. The purpose is simply to keep PDFEditor fast, stable, and easy to use.

Third-party services

The site may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for convenience and do not indicate endorsement. If you choose to follow a link to a third-party site, that provider may have its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We encourage you to read their policies before sharing any personal information.

Similarly, any embedded content or widgets from external sources are subject to the policies of those providers. We do not control the data processing of third-party content, and it is the responsibility of the user to review those external terms if they use those services.

Security and protection

We take reasonable steps to secure the site and protect the information it handles. Because most file processing is done locally in your browser, there is less sensitive data transmitted over the internet. That said, no online service can guarantee absolute security. We recommend users keep local backups of their documents and use the tool only for files they are comfortable processing in a browser-based environment.

We regularly review the site for potential issues and work to keep it updated. If you notice a security problem, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and address it.

Retention and deletion

We do not retain your personal files after processing. The moment you close or refresh the browser tab, in-browser data is typically cleared. If a server is involved in a specific tool, the data is deleted as soon as the request is completed. We do not provide long-term storage or archives of user documents.

If you have questions about a particular feature or believe data may have been retained improperly, please reach out through the contact page. We will investigate and clarify how that feature handles files.

Children and age requirements

This service is not intended for children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the site without permission from a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and if we learn that such information has been collected, we will take steps to delete it.

Policy changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When changes are made, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy. We recommend reviewing the policy periodically so you remain informed about our data practices.

Contact

If you have any privacy questions or concerns, please contact us through the contact page. We welcome feedback and will do our best to explain our practices clearly, correct any misunderstandings, and improve the experience for everyone. Your trust is important, and we strive to keep the site as transparent and privacy-friendly as possible.

Our approach is to provide a useful, low-friction service while respecting your privacy and keeping your files as safe as possible. If you want more details about how a particular tool works or how your browser processes your document, we are happy to help.
