PDFwhiz ("we", "us", "our") provides free browser-based PDF tools at pdfwhiz.com. We care about your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we use it.
All PDF processing on PDFwhiz is performed in the user's browser wherever possible. Uploaded files are used only for processing and are not kept permanently on our servers. Any files that are temporarily uploaded to our servers are deleted automatically within 24 hours unless you explicitly save them using a provided link.
We use third-party services such as Google AdSense and analytics providers. These services may place cookies on your browser and collect limited information (for example, pages visited, IP address, device type) to provide advertising and analytics. For AdSense, Google may use cookies to serve ads tailored to your interests. To learn about how Google uses data, please visit Google Ads policies.
We do not require you to create an account. We will not collect personal information such as name, email or files unless you choose to provide it (for example, via a contact form or support request).
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. Because many tools run in your browser, your files are often never uploaded to our servers. For features that require server-side processing, temporary uploads are encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
Temporary files uploaded to our servers are deleted within 24 hours. Analytics and log data may be retained longer in aggregated or anonymized form for troubleshooting and site improvement.
Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or local age of consent). We do not knowingly collect information from children.
