Privacy Policy & Cookie Policy
Effective Date: August 14, 2026 • GDPR, ePrivacy & Privacy-by-Design Compliant
Core Guarantee: Your document files never leave your device. All PDF and image processing takes place 100% locally in your client browser memory thread.
1. Information Collection & Document Security
pdfconverttool does not operate document processing backend servers. We do not store, view, or cache your PDF files, images, vector assets, or extracted document contents. When you load files into our tools, they are held exclusively in volatile browser memory (ArrayBuffers and WebAssembly memory threads) and are discarded as soon as you clear the workspace or navigate away.
2. Cookies & Local Browser Storage
Cookies and local browser storage (such as localStorage) are small text files or key-value entries stored directly on your computing device by your web browser. We use these technologies to support website functionality, preserve user preferences, and, with your affirmative consent, analyze website performance and provide relevant advertisements.
Your Current Privacy & Cookie Consent Status
You can view or modify your active cookie permissions at any time.
Detailed Cookie Categories
A. Strictly Essential Cookies & Storage
These items are strictly necessary for the technical operation of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are used exclusively to store your interface theme preference ("light" or "dark"), remember your cookie consent selections, and manage in-browser memory caching for PDF operations. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
B. Analytics & Performance Cookies
These optional cookies help us measure visitor traffic patterns, identify technical issues or conversion timeouts across various devices, and optimize our browser WebAssembly pipeline. They are disabled by default and only activated if you click "Accept All" or toggle them on in your preferences.
C. Advertising & Personalization Cookies (Google AdSense)
Our free tools may display advertisements served by Google and certified advertising networks. If you grant consent, advertising partners may set cookies to deliver ads tailored to your interests. If consent is withheld or rejected, advertisements remain non-personalized and will not use advertising identifiers or tracking cookies.
3. How to Manage and Withdraw Your Consent
You are entitled to change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time without penalty. You can do this in two ways:
- On-Site Settings: Click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page to reopen the preference panel and adjust your permissions.
- Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block, alert, or delete cookies at any time. Refer to your browser documentation (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge) for cookie management instructions.
4. Data Compliance & Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, European visitors have rights regarding freely given, specific, and revocable consent. Because all document conversion takes place locally on your client machine with zero server transmission, your documents are never harvested, transferred, or processed outside your control.
