Privacy Policy

Last revised: October 5, 2026

Our Fundamental Privacy Commitment: Zero Server Uploads

At PDFZero, your documents belong to you. Our PDF manipulation tools run entirely within your web browser using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript. Your PDF files, photos, passwords, and document contents are never transmitted over the internet to our servers or stored on remote databases. Once you close or refresh your browser tab, memory used for processing is immediately freed.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Because processing occurs purely client-side on your local device, we do not access, view, or retain:

  • The contents, metadata, or text of your uploaded PDF files.
  • Passwords entered to encrypt or decrypt documents.
  • Extracted image files or converted document downloads.

2. Advertising & Third-Party Cookies (Google AdSense)

To provide these tools 100% free with no registration required, we partner with third-party vendors, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements on our website.

  • Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

3. Analytics & Logging

We may gather non-personally identifiable technical information (such as browser type, referring URL, and page load performance) strictly to diagnose technical faults and optimize loading speed.
