Privacy Policy – pdf72.com

1. Introduction

Welcome to pdf72.com. When you use our PDF tools, you're trusting us with something important. We know files can hold personal or private details—like IDs, contracts, business files, school papers, or even random notes. That's why privacy here isn't an add-on. It's the main thing.

Most other sites? They make you upload your files to their servers. That means your document is copied somewhere, even if it's only for a short time. They might delete it later, but for a while it's not really in your control. We didn't want that.

So at pdf72.com, it's simple: your files never leave your device. The work happens in your browser. Nothing is sent to us. This policy explains what we do, what we don't do, how third-party services may collect small bits of info, how cookies work, and what choices you have.

2. Data Not Collected by Our Tools

Here's the key point: we don't collect or store your documents.

When you use merge, split, compress, or convert:

  • No uploads: Your file never comes to our servers.
  • No copies: Since it stays on your device, there are no backups or hidden storage.
  • No access: We can't see your file because it never reaches us.

Think of it like a calculator. You punch in numbers, it gives you the result, but nothing is sent anywhere. That's how pdf72.com works. Your browser does the job, your file stays with you.

🔒 100% Local Processing 🛡️ Zero Server Upload 🔐 Complete Privacy

Everything here is arranged with purpose: to block potential leaks, lower risk, and place control firmly in your hands.

3. Data Collected by Third Parties

Your files are never touched by us. But to keep the site running and free, we use outside services. They may collect some technical data. None of it is linked to your documents.

Google Analytics

We use Analytics to see how people use the site—what tools they like, where they get stuck, how fast things load. It's about trends, not about you personally.

It may collect:

  • IP address (sometimes anonymized)
  • Browser type/version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited, time spent
  • City or country

Google AdSense

This website continues to run with the support of advertisements, and for that we use Google AdSense. Through AdSense, ads are displayed on our pages, and we can also understand how well those ads are working.

To make this possible, Google AdSense may collect a few technical details while you visit the site, such as:

  • Your IP address
  • The browser and device you are using
  • Records of clicks or ad interactions
  • Cookies that help deliver ads suited to your interests

🔒What's most important for you to know is that this information is only about ad performance. It never involves your PDF files. Your documents are not opened, stored, or shared for advertising purposes. They stay private, just the way you left them.

4. Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They cannot run programs, and they cannot access or read your documents. Their purpose is simple—things like remembering your preferences or tracking site traffic.

On pdf72.com, most of the cookies come from Google services. These cookies are mainly there to:

  • Show you ads that are more relevant to your interests
  • Measure and track visitor statistics
  • Help our pages load faster and work smoothly

You're always in charge of how cookies are handled. You can block them, clear them, or allow them—it's completely up to you. Even if you turn off cookies, our tools will still run normally. The only change is that the ads may not match your interests as closely.

5. Data Sharing

To be clear:

  • We don't sell or rent your data.
  • We can't share your files since we never have them.
  • The only third parties here are Google Analytics and AdSense, each with their own privacy rules.

If you want details, check Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Your Rights

Using pdf72.com means you decide how much control you want to keep while browsing. Here's what that looks like:

  • Cookies: You can turn them off, clear them, or set limits right from your browser whenever you want.
  • Ads: Google lets you choose how ads appear—or you can stop personalized ads completely.
  • Extra Privacy Tools: If you prefer, you can rely on things like VPNs, ad blockers, or special browser add-ons to cut down tracking.

We never ask you to sign up or create an account. You can simply use the tools as they are, without sharing who you are.

At the end of the day, the level of privacy you keep is completely your choice.

7. Policy Updates

As our site grows and rules change, this Privacy Policy may be updated. When that happens, the new version will always be shared here.

One promise stays the same: your files never leave your device. They remain yours, always.

8. Get in Touch

We want you to feel safe and informed. If you have any questions or thoughts about this Privacy Policy, you can always reach us.
