Privacy Policy

The fundamental distinction between PDFToolkit and traditional file converters is our browser-first execution model:

• Client-Side Processing: All core PDF operations (compressing, editing, merging, splitting, OCR text recognition, watermarking, signing, rotating, cropping, page reorganizing, and image conversions) execute directly inside your device's browser using WebAssembly (Wasm) and HTML5 Canvas APIs.
• No Cloud Storage: Because files are processed in your device's local random-access memory (RAM), your files are not uploaded to, saved on, or retained by our servers.
• Immediate Memory Release: When you close your browser tab or click "Reset", all document data is instantaneously purged from your device's volatile RAM.

We do not collect:

• The contents, text, images, or metadata of your uploaded PDF documents.
• Names, addresses, phone numbers, or credit card details (our service is 100% free with no registration).
• Account credentials or personal identities.

PDFToolkit is funded through advertising served by Google AdSense:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. Compliance with GDPR and International Regulations

Because we do not store, process on cloud servers, or catalog your files, PDFToolkit inherently adheres to data minimization principles under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
