Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

FilePdf.net ("we", "us", "our") is fundamentally a privacy-focused service. This Privacy Policy describes our steadfast commitment to safeguarding your privacy. Our fundamental principle is straightforward: your files belong to you. We do not and cannot view, access, save, or distribute your documents. All PDF operations take place entirely on your own device, within your web browser (client-side).

1.1 The Client-Side Principle

Unlike other online PDF services, FilePdf.net does not transfer your files to a server for processing. The utilities you use are powered by JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries that operate directly on your device. This ensures your data never leaves your computer, offering you the maximum level of privacy and security.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Due to our client-side architecture, we are technically unable to collect the following information:

• The content of your PDF files or any other documents you utilize with our utilities.
• Any personal information contained within your documents.
• File names of your documents.
• Any derived information or metadata from your files, beyond what is required for the utility to operate during your active session (and this is immediately removed).

3. Information We May Collect (Non-Personal Data)

To enhance our website and services, we may collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information. This type of data assists us in understanding how users interact with our site, which utilities are most popular, and how we can enhance the user experience. This includes:

• Usage Analytics: Anonymized data such as which utilities are utilized, how frequently they are used, and which features are accessed. This is aggregated and cannot be linked back to an individual user or document.
• Performance Data: Anonymized error reports or performance metrics to help us identify and resolve bugs. This data contains no personal information or file content.

We utilize privacy-respecting analytics platforms for this purpose. Specifically, we utilize Simple Analytics to monitor anonymous visit statistics. This means we can see how many users visit our site, but we never gather personal information or identify individual users. Simple Analytics is fully GDPR-compliant and respects user privacy. We do not utilize tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling.

4. Third-Party Libraries

FilePdf.net is built using powerful, open-source libraries such as PDF-lib.js and PDF.js. These libraries are trusted by developers worldwide and operate under the same client-side principle. While we have reviewed these libraries, we encourage you to examine their respective privacy policies for your own assurance.

5. Security

Since your files are never sent over the internet to our servers, you are protected from potential data breaches during transmission or storage on a server. The security of your documents is in your control and safeguarded by the security of your own device and web browser.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly gather any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take measures to remove such information.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will inform 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 regularly for any changes.
