Last updated: January 2025
Our Service Philosophy
At our PDF converter platform, we prioritize your privacy while providing a completely free service. Our conversion tool operates entirely within your browser, ensuring your documents never leave your device. However, to maintain and improve our free service, we partner with third-party providers who may use cookies.
How We Use Cookies
Understanding how cookies work on our platform helps you make informed decisions about your privacy. We want to be completely transparent about the different types of cookies that may be present during your visit.
Website Analytics
We employ web analytics services to gain insights into user behavior and website performance. These tools help us understand which conversion features are most popular, how users navigate through our website, areas where we can improve user experience, and overall website traffic patterns. This data is collected anonymously and helps us continuously enhance our service quality.
Advertising Services
To keep our PDF converter completely free, we display advertisements through advertising networks. These services show relevant ads based on your browsing interests and use cookies to personalize advertisement content. This helps generate revenue that supports our free service and may track ad performance and user engagement to optimize the advertising experience.
Affiliate Marketing Programs
We occasionally recommend helpful tools, software, or services related to document management. Through affiliate partnerships, we may earn commissions when you purchase recommended products. Partners use cookies to track referral sources, which helps us identify which recommendations are most valuable to our users. This revenue supports continued free access to our converter.
Essential Website Functions
Our hosting and security providers use necessary cookies for website security and protection against malicious attacks. These cookies also enable performance optimization for faster loading times, basic website functionality, user session management, error monitoring, and technical issue resolution.
Your File Privacy Guarantee
While we use various third-party services that employ cookies, your document conversions remain completely private. All PDF conversions happen locally in your browser, and your files are never uploaded to any server. Documents are temporarily stored only in your browser's memory and are automatically cleared when you close the browser tab. Since the entire conversion process occurs locally in your browser, there is no communication between your device and our servers regarding your files or conversion activities. This means that while we may track general website usage through analytics services, we have absolutely no knowledge of what files you convert, when you convert them, or any content within your documents. No one can access your documents except you.
Managing Your Privacy
We respect your right to control how cookies are used during your visit to our website. You have several options to customize your privacy settings according to your preferences and comfort level. You have complete control over cookie usage through your browser settings. You can disable all cookies by accessing your browser's privacy settings and blocking cookies from all websites, though this may affect website functionality. Alternatively, you can use selective cookie management to allow essential cookies only while blocking advertising and analytics cookies. For anonymous browsing, you can use incognito or private mode, where cookies are automatically deleted after your session ends and no tracking data is permanently stored.
Advertising Preferences
Many advertising networks provide opt-out mechanisms that allow you to visit advertiser preference centers, opt out of personalized advertising, control what data is used for ad targeting, and reset your advertising ID periodically. We encourage users to explore these options if they prefer less personalized advertising experiences.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
Since we work with various service providers, we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies. Web analytics providers maintain their own privacy standards, advertising networks have specific data handling practices, affiliate partners operate under their own privacy policies, and hosting providers follow industry security standards. Understanding these policies will give you a complete picture of how your data may be handled.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe in honest communication about our practices. We use analytics to improve our service, display ads to keep the service free, participate in affiliate programs for sustainability, and protect your document privacy at all costs. However, we want to be clear about what we don't do: we never access or store your converted files, sell your personal information, share your documents with third parties, or use your files for any purpose beyond conversion.
Updates and Changes
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our service providers, updates to privacy regulations, improvements in our privacy practices, or user feedback and suggestions. We will notify users of significant changes through website announcements or email notifications for registered users.
Contact Information
If you have questions about our Cookie Policy or privacy practices, you can email us through our contact form, review our comprehensive Privacy Policy, check our FAQ section for common questions, or contact our support team for specific concerns. We are committed to addressing any privacy-related inquiries promptly and thoroughly. For questions or concerns, please reach out through our contact form or support channels.
Our PDF converter service balances user privacy with service sustainability. While your documents remain completely private and secure, we use standard web technologies and partnerships to provide and improve our free service. You maintain full control over your privacy settings and can use our converter with confidence knowing your files never leave your device. We are committed to maintaining this balance while being completely transparent about our practices.
