Privacy Policy — PDFMend.in

1. Introduction

Welcome to PDFMend.in ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website PDFMend.in and use our PDF tools.

2. Information We Collect

Files You Upload: When you use our PDF tools, you may upload files for processing. Most file processing happens entirely in your web browser (client-side), meaning your files never leave your device. For features that require server-side processing (such as file sharing), files are temporarily stored on our servers with encryption at rest.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics including which tools are used, general traffic data, and device/browser information. This data does not identify you personally.

Contact Information: If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the name, email, and message you provide.

Cookies: We use essential cookies to improve your experience and third-party cookies for advertising purposes.

To prevent abuse and enforce rate limits

4. File Retention and Deletion

Any files temporarily stored on our servers for sharing purposes are automatically and permanently deleted within 2 hours. We do not keep copies, backups, or logs of your file contents. Files processed client-side never touch our servers.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption for all data transfers, encryption at rest for stored files, and secure server configurations. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

6. Third-Party Services

We use third-party advertising services that may collect information about your browsing activity. These services have their own privacy policies. We do not share your uploaded files with any third party.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to: access information we hold about you, request deletion of your data, opt out of cookies, and contact us with privacy concerns.
