Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Guarantees

What We DO NOT Collect From Your Files

• No Personal Information

  We do not require your name, email, or account details to use the main tools

• No Account Registration

  There are no accounts, logins, or passwords to manage

• No Payment Information

  ExactPDF is completely free - we never ask for payment details

• No File Uploads

  Your PDF files are processed locally and never sent to any server

• No File Data Collected

  Your file contents, file names, extracted text, and document metadata are not sent in analytics or stored by default

How Local Processing Works

• Files stay on your device

  When you select a PDF, it's loaded into your browser's memory only

• Processing happens locally

  All operations (compress, merge, convert) run in your browser

• Results download directly

  Processed files are saved directly to your device

• Memory is cleared after use

  Once you close the tab, file data is removed from browser memory unless you explicitly save the output yourself

Analytics Transparency

We use Google Analytics (GA4) for limited product telemetry so we can understand which tools are used and where people get stuck. This is separate from local file processing.

• Tool usage and coarse performance

  Events include tool views, uploads, process starts/completions, downloads, and coarse timing buckets

• No file contents or names

  We do not send file names, document text, extracted text, or document metadata to analytics

• No ads or personalization signals

  GA is configured with IP anonymization and without Google signals or ad personalization signals

Feedback and Public Comments

Some tool pages include a feedback form. That form is optional and distinct from document processing.

• Only the text you type is submitted

  Your files are not attached and your document contents should not be pasted into feedback.

• Public comments are moderated

  Submissions are reviewed before anything appears publicly on a tool page.

• Do not include sensitive data

  Please avoid personal data, document text, client information, or regulated content in feedback forms.

Data Retention and Access

• Rejected or spam feedback is eligible for purge

  We keep moderation data only as long as needed to operate the feedback system.

• Approved comments can be removed

  Public feedback can be hidden or removed later if needed.

• No document logging

  Engineers should not log file contents, extracted text, or moderation metadata into console logs or error trackers.
