Privacy Policy
At PDF180, your privacy is not just a feature—it's our entire architecture.
No Server Uploads
Unlike 99% of online PDF tools, PDF180 processes your files entirely in your web browser. Your sensitive documents never touch our servers.
No Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or analyze the content of your files. Since we don't receive them, we can't see them.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) or any data contained within the files you process using our tools. Because all processing is done locally on your device via JavaScript, our servers only serve the static assets (HTML, CSS, JS) required to run the application.
2. Local Processing Technology
PDF180 utilizes modern web technologies like WebAssembly and advanced JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib, browser-image-compression) to perform complex document manipulations directly in your browser's memory. When you "upload" a file, it is simply loaded into your browser's local state, processed, and then offered for download.
3. Analytics and Cookies
We may use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns (e.g., which tools are most popular). This data is anonymized and does not include any information about your specific files or identity. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
4. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us, and we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
