Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
The short version
- ✓Free tools process files entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded
- ✓We don't store, log, or access any of your document contents
- ✓Pro server features delete files immediately after processing
- ✓We use minimal analytics with no personal data collection
Free Tools — Browser Processing
All free features (merge, split, compress, rotate, annotate, etc.) process files entirely within your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are loaded into your device's memory, processed there, and never transmitted over the network. When you close the tab or navigate away, the data is discarded from memory.
Pro Features — Server Processing
Pro-only features (PDF ↔ Office conversion, OCR) require server-side processing. When you use these features, your file is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our processing servers.
Files are deleted immediately after processing is complete. We do not store, cache, or retain any uploaded files. Processing logs do not contain file contents.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how PDFMint is used — page views, feature usage, and error rates. This data is anonymous and aggregated. We never track file contents, filenames, or document metadata.
Cookies
PDFMint uses minimal cookies: a locale preference cookie for language detection and Google Analytics cookies if analytics are enabled. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
Data Retention
We do not retain any user files. Free tool data never leaves your device. Pro tool uploads are deleted within seconds of processing. Account data (if you sign up for Pro) is managed through Clerk and can be deleted at any time from the Settings page.
Children's Privacy
PDFMint is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on this page with an updated revision date.
