Privacy Policy
pdfpure ("the service") is a free web tool that processes PDF files on your own device. This policy explains what information the service handles, why, and for how long.
1. Your files
PDFs and images you add are never sent to a server and are never stored by us. Merging, organizing and converting all happen inside your browser, and the result is saved straight to your device.
We cannot see the names or contents of your files. When you close the page, the file data held in browser memory is gone.
2. Information we process and why
| Category | Information | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Visit statistics (Google Analytics 4) | Pages viewed, time of visit, browser and device type, approximate location (country or city level), referrer, a cookie identifier (_ga). If a job was interrupted: the tool name and a file size range (e.g. 100–300 MB) | Understanding usage and improving the service |
| Delivery and security (Cloudflare) | IP address, requested URL and time, browser information | Delivering the site and blocking attacks. We do not keep our own access logs |
| Country of access | Country code (not stored) | Deciding whether analytics consent must be asked first |
File names and file contents are never sent to any of these services.
3. Advertising
The service may show Google AdSense ads to cover its costs. If ads are shown, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
4. Cookies and browser storage
Values in browser storage stay on your device, except that an interrupted job is reported to visit statistics as described in section 2.
- _ga, _ga_*: Google Analytics cookies used to tell visitors apart for statistics.
- pp-lang (local storage): the language you last viewed, so the next visit opens in it.
- pp-consent (local storage): your analytics consent choice.
- Job record (session storage): only the tool name, a file size range and a time. Cleared when the tab closes; records older than 30 minutes are ignored.
5. Your choices
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google Analytics is not loaded until you agree. Elsewhere it is on by default and you can decline at any time with "Analytics cookie settings" at the bottom of each page. Every tool keeps working if you decline.
You can also block cookies in your browser settings or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.
6. Retention
Google Analytics event data is kept for 2 months and then deleted automatically. Aggregated reports that cannot identify you may remain afterwards. We keep no other information about you.
7. Sharing and international transfers
| Recipient (country) | Information | Purpose | When and how | Retention | How to refuse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (United States) | Cookie identifier, pages viewed, device and browser information, approximate location | Visit statistics; ads if shown | Sent over the network when you view a page | See section 6 | Decline in "Analytics cookie settings". Tools are not affected |
| Cloudflare, Inc. (United States, data centers worldwide) | IP address, request information | Delivery and security | Sent over the network when you connect | Per Cloudflare's policy | The site cannot be reached without it |
We do not sell your information or share it with third parties. To run the service, the following providers process information outside your country.
8. Legal basis and your rights
In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we use analytics only with your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time. Delivery and security processing by Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in running a safe website.
You have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your information, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because we keep no information that identifies you, most requests can be handled instantly with the choices in section 5. For anything else, contact us below.
9. Children
The service does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires).
