Privacy Policy

Every tool on PDFToolz runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. This includes merging, splitting, converting, signing, compressing, OCR, encryption and all other tools. Your PDFs and images are read into your device's memory, processed there and offered back to you as a download. We never receive, store, transmit or have access to the contents of your files.

Contact messages. If you use our contact form, we store the name, email address and message you submit so we can reply.

Basic technical logs. Our hosting provider records standard request data, such as IP address, browser type and time of request, to keep the service secure and reliable. These logs are not linked to the contents of any file.

First-party analytics. We load a small analytics script from an.pdftoolz.com after the page is ready. It helps us understand page usage and site performance. It does not receive your documents or their contents, and we do not use it for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Preferences. Your light or dark theme choice is stored in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is not sent to us.

PDFToolz does not use advertising cookies, does not sell your data and does not track you across other websites. We use local storage to remember your theme preference, and first-party, non-advertising analytics to understand how this site is used.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare's global network. Analytics are served from our an.pdftoolz.com subdomain. The first time you run the OCR tool, its text-recognition engine may download language models and a WebAssembly runtime from a public content delivery network. Your document is never included in those requests.

Your files are never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to retain. We keep contact messages only as long as we need them to handle your enquiry.

PDFToolz is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will appear on this page with a new "last updated" date.
