Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 17, 2026
1. Zero-Collection Principle
At PDFree, privacy is not just a feature—it is our fundamental architecture. We operate on a strict Zero-Collection Principle:
- No File Uploads: We never transmit, upload, copy, or store your documents or file data on external cloud servers. All parsing, merging, splitting, compressing, or formatting is performed inside your local browser memory stack.
- No Personal Data Collection: We do not ask for names, email addresses, phone numbers, or credit card info. No registration is required to use any of our features.
- No Cookies or User Tracking: PDFree does not use tracker codes, persistent cookies, or profiling systems to capture or target your online behaviors.
2. In-Browser Local Processing
All calculations are executed inside your web browser sandbox. By using client-side JavaScript APIs and WebAssembly binaries, our page assets are loaded staticly from our content delivery network, but processing happens 100% locally. Once you close the PDFree tab, all cached session document bytes are cleared from your device's memory.
3. External Links
Our website may contain hyperlinks to external sites, documentation sources, or dependency CDNs (such as cdnjs). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external domains. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any website you navigate to.
