1. Information We Collect
1.1 Files You Upload
When you use our PDF tools, you upload documents to our servers for processing. These files are temporarily stored only for the duration needed to complete the requested operation. We do not read, analyze, or mine the content of your files for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the service you requested.
1.2 Usage Data
We automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data helps us understand usage patterns and improve our services.

We use essential cookies required for the website to function (session management, preferences). We may also use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand traffic patterns. You can disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings at any time.
1.4 Account Information
If you create an account or subscribe to a premium plan, we collect your name, email address, and payment information. Payment data is processed securely through our third-party payment processor and is never stored on our servers directly.
2. How We Use Your Information
2.1 Service Delivery
We use the files you upload solely to perform the PDF operation you requested (merge, split, convert, compress, etc.). Once processing is complete and you have downloaded the result, files are queued for automatic deletion.

We use aggregated, anonymized usage data to improve our tools, optimize performance, fix bugs, and develop new features. This data cannot be traced back to individual users or documents.
