Privacy policy
PDFTools is built so that your documents stay on your device. This policy explains what little data we handle and why.
Last updated September 2026
Your documents
Every tool on PDFTools runs entirely inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Files you select are never uploaded to a server, never stored by us, and are discarded from memory as soon as you close or reload the page.
Information we collect
We do not require registration and we do not ask for personal information to use the tools. We may collect aggregated, non-identifying usage statistics such as page views and which tools are used, together with standard technical data (browser type, approximate country) that any website receives.
Advertising
PDFTools is free to use and funded by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Where consent is required, ads are only personalised after you accept. See our cookie policy for details and opt-out links.
Children
PDFTools is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Because we do not hold personal accounts or document data, there is generally nothing to export or erase. You can withdraw advertising consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser. For any privacy question, use our contact page.
Changes
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above.
