Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 14, 2026
1. Overview
EasyPDF ("we," "our," or "the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website and PDF processing tools. By using EasyPDF, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Client-Side Processing
All PDF and document processing operations are performed entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. This is a core design principle of EasyPDF. Specifically:
- Your files never leave your device. No files are uploaded to any server at any point during processing.
- We do not store, access, read, copy, or transmit your documents.
- All file conversions, merging, splitting, compression, OCR, and other operations happen locally on your computer.
- When you close your browser tab, all processed data is discarded from memory.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Automatically Collected Information
When you visit EasyPDF, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Page views and navigation paths
- Referring website
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level, derived from anonymized IP)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
3.2 Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled to understand general usage trends (e.g., "Merge PDF was used 50 times today"). We do not track individual filenames, file content, document metadata, or personal identifiers through analytics.
3.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
- File names, contents, or metadata of documents you process
- Personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers (unless voluntarily provided via our contact form)
- Payment information (EasyPDF is completely free)
- Login credentials (no account required)
4. Cookies and Local Storage
EasyPDF uses the following types of storage:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
- Preference storage: Local storage to save your settings (such as dark mode preference, compression quality defaults)
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to distinguish users and track sessions (anonymized)
You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the core functionality of our PDF tools.
5. Third-Party Services
EasyPDF uses the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts: For typography. Font files may be loaded from Google's CDN.
- Hosting provider: Our website is hosted on a static hosting platform. The hosting provider may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, timestamps).
We do not share, sell, or rent your data to any third parties. Your files are never transmitted to any external service.
6. Data Security
Because all file processing happens client-side, your documents benefit from strong inherent privacy protection — they never traverse a network. Our website is served over HTTPS to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data in transit. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system up to date for optimal security.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- Right to access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
- Right to deletion: Request deletion of your personal data
- Right to opt out: Opt out of analytics tracking by using browser extensions or disabling cookies
- Right to portability: Request your data in a portable format
Since we do not store your personal data or files, most data requests are automatically satisfied by our architecture. For any specific requests, please contact us.
8. GDPR Compliance
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal basis for processing analytics data is legitimate interest in understanding how our Service is used. You can exercise your GDPR rights by contacting us through our Contact page.
9. CCPA Compliance
For California residents, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): we do not sell personal information, we do not collect sensitive personal information, and you have the right to know what data we collect and request its deletion. Since our Service processes all files client-side and does not require accounts, we collect minimal data by design.
10. Children's Privacy
EasyPDF is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent changes. Continued use of the Service after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
