Privacy Policy
Last updated: [Insert date here]
This Privacy Policy explains how PDFEaz (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the website pdfeaz.com (the “Site”) and the tools and services we provide. By using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Files You Upload or Process
Our goal is to design tools that perform processing directly in your browser using client-side technologies (such as JavaScript, Web APIs, and WebAssembly). For such tools (for example, the AVIF to JPG converter), your files are handled locally in your browser and are not intentionally uploaded to our servers.
However, some current or future tools may require server-side processing due to technical limitations (for example, heavy PDF conversions or OCR). In those cases:
- We will make reasonable efforts to clearly indicate that files may be sent to a server.
- Files will be used only to provide the requested service (e.g., conversion).
- We do not claim ownership of files you upload.
Regardless of processing method, you remain fully responsible for the content and legality of the files you use with our tools.
2. Personal Information
In general, you can use PDFEaz without creating an account or providing personal information. However, we may collect limited personal information in the following cases:
- Contact Form: If you contact us via the contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message in order to reply to you.
- Support and Feedback: If you voluntarily provide information in support or feedback requests, we will process that information for the purpose of assisting you.
3. Log Data and Usage Information
Like many websites, we may collect basic technical information that your browser sends when you visit our Site, such as:
- IP address (which may be generalized or anonymized where possible);
- Browser type and version;
- Operating system;
- Pages visited, time and date of visit, and basic usage statistics.
This information is generally used to maintain and improve the performance, security, and reliability of our Site.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Remember basic preferences (such as language or interface settings);
- Measure simple usage analytics of the Site;
- Enhance user experience and security.
You can usually manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. However, some features of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
5. How We Use Information
We use information collected through the Site for purposes such as:
- Providing and operating our tools and services;
- Responding to inquiries and support requests;
- Monitoring and improving the performance and usability of the Site;
- Detecting and preventing abuse, fraud, or security issues;
- Complying with legal obligations where applicable.
6. Data Retention
For tools that operate entirely in your browser, we do not retain your files on our servers because files are not uploaded to us in the first place.
For any future server-side tools that may require uploading files:
- Files will typically be stored only as long as necessary to complete the processing task and to provide you with the result.
- Temporary copies may be deleted automatically after a short period or after your session ends.
Information collected through contact forms or email may be retained as long as necessary to address your request and maintain basic business records.
7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information or files. We may share limited information in the following situations:
- Service Providers: With trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating the Site, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Legal Requirements: When required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or when we believe such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, users, or the public.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information processed through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Third-Party Websites
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our Site and services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it.
11. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data. To make such a request, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
