Effective Date: August 8, 2025
Welcome to PDFsphere ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website.
1. Our Core Privacy Principle: Your Files Remain Yours
Our fundamental promise is that your files are yours alone. All PDF processing on PDFsphere happens "client-side," meaning it's done in your browser on your own device. We do not upload, process, or store your files on our servers. Your documents never leave your computer, ensuring complete confidentiality from our end.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect limited, non-personal information to improve our services.
- Anonymous Usage Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about website usage, such as which tools are popular and how users navigate our site. This information is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Voluntary Information: If you contact us via email, we will collect your name and email address to respond to your inquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services.
- Understand user behavior to enhance the user experience.
- Respond to your questions and provide customer support.
4. Cookies and Advertising
We use cookies to enhance your experience and to serve ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
5. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- GDPR (for users in the EEA): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data. Since we do not store personal data from our tools, these rights primarily apply to any information you've sent us directly.
- CCPA (for users in California): You have the right to know what personal information is being collected and to request that we delete your information.
6. Data Security
Because your files are not uploaded to our servers, the security of your documents is in your hands. We take reasonable measures to protect the anonymous usage data we collect.
7. Children's Privacy
Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
