This Privacy Policy explains how PDFWorks ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our website at pdfworks.tools (the "Service").
PDFWorks is designed to process PDF files entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit the files you upload or download. Your files never leave your device.
We may collect limited non-personal information automatically:
We use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display ads on the Service. These third parties may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we only show non-personalized ads unless you provide consent through a consent management platform.
We use the limited information collected to:
Since we do not store uploaded files or personal data, there is no user-specific data retention period. Server logs containing IP addresses are retained only for security purposes and are automatically deleted within 30 days.
Our Service may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we do not collect or store personal data, these rights can be exercised by clearing your browser cookies or contacting us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
