Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2024

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At pdfio.xyz, we take your privacy extremely seriously. Our PDF tools are designed with privacy as the core principle: your files never leave your device. All PDF processing happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript libraries like pdf-lib and pdf.js.

🔒 Key Privacy Points

  • ✓No File Uploads: Your PDF files are processed locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers.
  • ✓No Data Storage: We do not store any of your files or documents.
  • ✓No Account Required: Use all tools without registration or providing personal information.
  • ✓Works Offline: After initial load, core functionality works without an internet connection.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your PDF files or their contents
  • Personal information (name, email, etc.)
  • Account credentials (we don't have accounts)
  • IP addresses for tracking purposes
  • Browsing history

3. Technical Information

Like most websites, we may use essential cookies to ensure the website functions properly. These are strictly necessary for the operation of the site and cannot be disabled. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics that track individual users.

4. How Our Tools Work

When you use pdfio.xyz:

  1. You select a PDF file from your device
  2. The file is loaded into your browser's memory
  3. JavaScript libraries process the file entirely within your browser
  4. The processed file is generated and offered for download
  5. No data is ever sent to external servers

You can verify this yourself by checking your browser's network activity while using our tools - you will see no file uploads to our servers.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may load resources from CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) for fonts and JavaScript libraries. These are used solely for website functionality and do not track you or access your files.

6. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to access or delete. However, you always have the right to:

  • Use our services anonymously
  • Block all network requests (tools will still work offline after initial load)
  • Contact us with any privacy concerns

7. Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all connections to our website. However, the security of your PDF files during processing depends on the security of your own device and browser. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information, we don't knowingly collect information from children. However, children should always use the internet under parental supervision.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
