Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 22, 2024
Your Privacy Matters
At pdfLaunch, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our PDF processing tools.
Client-Side Processing
Most of our PDF tools process files directly in your browser using JavaScript. This means your files never leave your device during processing. We cannot access, view, or store these files.
Server Processing
Some advanced features require server-side processing. When this happens:
- Files are transferred over encrypted HTTPS connection
- Files are processed immediately and automatically deleted
- We do not store, backup, or retain your files
- Processing typically takes seconds, after which files are permanently removed
Data We Collect
We collect minimal data to provide our services:
- Basic analytics: Page views, tool usage, general location (country)
- Technical data: Browser type, device type, operating system
- Account data: Email and preferences (if you create an account)
We do NOT collect or store the content of your PDF files.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for:
- Remembering your language preference
- Keeping you logged in (if applicable)
- Basic analytics to improve our service
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services for:
- Analytics (Google Analytics, privacy-focused alternatives)
- Content delivery (CDN services for faster load times)
- Payment processing (if applicable)
These services have their own privacy policies and do not have access to your PDF files.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Know what data we collect about you
- Request deletion of your account data
- Opt-out of non-essential cookies
- Export your data (if you have an account)
