Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

PDF Free Tools provides free online tools such as Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, PDF to Word, JPG to PDF, and other file converters and utilities. Our goal is to keep file processing private and simple.

2. Browser-Based File Processing

Whenever technically possible, files are processed locally in your browser. This means your files are not uploaded to or stored on our servers as part of normal tool usage.

For advanced tasks that may require external services in the future, we will clearly disclose that behavior before processing.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Usage Data

We may collect limited technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location (based on IP region) for analytics, security, and service improvements.

3.2 Contact Information

If you contact us, we may process the information you submit (such as name, email, and message) to respond to your request.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, measure performance, and support advertising. Cookies may be set by us and by third-party providers.

5. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google may use advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) to personalize ads. You can manage ad personalization through your Google ad settings and supported consent mechanisms.

6. Third-Party Services

We may rely on third-party services for:

• Advertising delivery (for example, Google AdSense).
• Basic analytics and performance monitoring.
• Security and abuse prevention.

These providers may process data under their own privacy policies.

7. Data Protection and Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect website operations. Because most file processing happens locally in your browser, exposure risk is reduced compared to server-upload workflows.

8. Data Retention

We do not maintain server-side file libraries from tool usage. Operational logs and contact records may be retained only as long as needed for security, legal, and support purposes.

9. Children's Privacy

PDF Free Tools is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
