Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

At PDF Tools AI, we take your privacy extremely seriously. We created our suite of tools with privacy as the core foundation. Many of our tools process files directly in your web browser, meaning your files never even reach our servers.

2. File Uploads and Storage

For tools that do require server-side processing (such as heavy merging or encryption), your files are uploaded via a secure, encrypted connection (SSL/TLS).

• Files are kept temporarily in a secure folder.
• Automated Deletion: All uploaded and processed files are permanently deleted automatically within 1 hour after processing.
• We do not look at, index, copy, or share your documents under any circumstances.

3. Client-Side Processing

Tools like our PDF Reader, Watermark, Rotate, Organize, and Image OCR rely on client-side WebAssembly and JavaScript engines. When using these tools, your document remains securely on your local device. No data is transmitted to us.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use minimal, essential cookies to maintain session states and basic analytics to understand how our website is used. We do not use aggressive ad-tracking cookies.

5. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

• 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 our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info).

5. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to outside parties. Your uploaded files are never sent to third-party APIs for processing.
