Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Local-First Philosophy

The core utilities pass a selected file to browser-side code instead of a LocalUtils conversion endpoint. The site still uses the network to deliver application assets and optional OCR resources, and account, billing, feedback, consent, and advertising are separate network-connected features. Each tool page documents its specific processing path and limits.

2. Data We Collect

While your files stay local, we do collect minimal data to provide our services:

  • Account Information: If you sign up for a Premium account, we store your email address and basic profile metadata provided by your login provider (e.g., Google).
  • Subscription Data: We use Stripe to process payments. We store your subscription status and basic billing history, but we do not store your credit card details on our servers.
  • Interface Preferences: Theme, language, dismissed notices, and selected tool preferences may be stored in your browser.
  • Advertisements: For free users, we use Google AdSense which may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

3. Local Storage and IndexedDB

Our tools may use your browser's localStorage or IndexedDB to temporarily store your work (for example, keeping a list of PDFs you want to merge). This data stays on your device and is not accessible by us.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services:

  • Supabase: For secure authentication and account management.
  • Stripe: For secure payment processing.
  • Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements to free users.
  • Static Hosting and CDN Services: For delivering the application code and public assets. Selected files are not sent to these services for processing.

5. Your Rights

You can access or update available account information through the Account menu. For deletion of an account and its associated backend data, sign in and submit the request through Feedback. The site does not publish a separate support email.

6. Contact Us

If you have questions about this policy or an account-data request, sign in and use the Feedback control in the sidebar. Do not include confidential file contents in the message.
