2. Information We Collect
Files You Process: We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any files you upload or process through our tools. All PDF and image processing occurs entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript technologies. Your files never leave your device, and no file data is ever sent to our servers or any third-party servers.
Automatically Collected Information: When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. This includes your IP address (anonymized so it cannot identify you personally), browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language preferences, pages visited, time spent on each page, referring website or URL, and the date and time of your visit.
Google AdSense Advertising Cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Website. Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. This information may include your browsing behavior, demographic inferences, and interaction with ads.
Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with our Website, which tools are most popular, and where improvements can be made. Google Analytics collects data such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, traffic sources, and geographic regions (at the country or city level).
Contact Information: If you choose to contact us through our contact form or via email, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties except as required by law.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect from automatic data collection, analytics, and advertising technologies is used for several legitimate purposes. We use aggregated and anonymized analytics data to understand how visitors use our Website, identify popular tools and features, detect performance issues, and make informed decisions about improvements and new features.
Ad Personalization: Google AdSense and its advertising partners use cookies and data collected through our Website to personalize advertisements based on your inferred interests and browsing activity. This means that ads displayed on our Website may be tailored to reflect your preferences, and you may see similar ads when visiting other websites that participate in the Google advertising network.
Analytics & Reporting: We use Google Analytics data to generate reports about Website traffic, user behavior patterns, and engagement metrics. These reports help us optimize the Website’s performance, improve user experience, and ensure the Service remains free and accessible to everyone.
Improving Service Quality: Usage data enables us to identify bugs, understand which tools need optimization, and prioritize development efforts. We continuously monitor performance metrics to ensure our tools work correctly across different browsers and devices.
Fraud Prevention & Security: We may use collected information to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, abusive behavior, spam, or security threats to the Website. This includes monitoring for unusual traffic patterns, bot activity, or attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in the Service.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet. The DART cookie uses non-personally identifiable information about your browsing activity to serve targeted advertisements. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
Interest-Based Advertising: Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Third-Party Ad Vendors: In addition to Google AdSense, third-party advertising companies may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Website. These third-party ad vendors may include advertising networks, data management platforms, demand-side platforms, and other advertising technology providers. These companies may use the collected data to serve targeted advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness.

7. Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Our Website is served over HTTPS using SSL/TLS encryption to ensure secure communication between your browser and our servers. All data transmitted between your device and our Website is encrypted in transit.
Client-Side Processing: A core principle of our Service is that all file processing occurs entirely within your web browser. We use client-side JavaScript libraries such as pdf-lib and the Canvas API to manipulate files directly on your device. This architecture ensures that your files are never transmitted to any external server, providing an inherently high level of data security and privacy.
No File Storage: We do not store, cache, or retain any files you upload or process through our tools. Once you close the browser tab or navigate away from a tool, any temporary file data held in your browser’s memory is automatically released. No backup copies of your files are ever created on our systems.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Website and Service are not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction, which may be 16 in certain European countries). We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age.
If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@pdfeditor.app. We will take prompt steps to delete any such information from our records and terminate any child’s account if applicable.
We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable international children’s privacy laws. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will make reasonable efforts to delete that information as quickly as possible.
9. Third-Party Links
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by PDF Editor. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and do not constitute an endorsement by us of the content, products, or services available from such third-party resources.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We strongly advise you to read the terms of service and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that you visit from our Website.
Third-party websites and services may collect personal information through their own cookies, web beacons, and tracking technologies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. Your interactions with third-party websites are governed solely by those sites’ own terms and policies.
10. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy. Server access logs, which may contain anonymized IP addresses, are retained for a period of up to 90 days and are then automatically deleted.
Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained by Google according to Google’s data retention policies, which you can configure through your Google Analytics settings. By default, Google Analytics retains data for 26 months for website-level data and 38 months for user-level data.
Advertising cookies placed by Google AdSense and third-party ad vendors are retained according to the duration specified in the cookies themselves (as listed in Section 5 of this policy). Once these cookies expire, they are automatically deleted by your browser. Contact information provided through our contact form is retained for up to 12 months after the resolution of your inquiry, after which it is deleted.
