At PDFCraft, accessible from https://pdf-craft.online, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by PDFCraft and how we protect it.
1. Core Privacy Principle: Zero File Collection
PDFCraft is designed to run 100% client-side (in-browser). When you use our tools to Merge, Split, or Sign & Edit PDFs:
- No files are uploaded to our servers. All processing, rendering, and rebuilding of your PDF documents are handled locally in your web browser using HTML5 APIs, JavaScript, and WebAssembly.
- We do not, and physically cannot, access, read, view, or store the contents of your documents or drawings.
- Your documents never leave your local device.
2. Information We Collect (Log Files)
Like standard websites, PDFCraft uses web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand visitor traffic. These tools collect basic information that does not identify you personally, including:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type and version
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Date and time stamps of site visits
- Referring and exit pages
- Number of clicks on page menus
This information is used solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site, and gathering demographic information to optimize our performance.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
PDFCraft uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, such as your chosen theme setting (Dark Mode vs. Light Mode). We may also partner with third-party networks like Google AdSense to display advertisements, which may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
4. Third-Party Privacy Policies
PDFCraft's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers (such as Google AdSense) for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
5. GDPR and CCPA Data Protection Rights
We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
- The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data. (Since we collect no personal document data, we have no files to show).
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
6. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. PDFCraft does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
