Privacy First. Always.

At PDFToolsHouse, privacy isn't a feature—it's our architecture. Because all PDF processing happens entirely in your browser via WebAssembly, your files never touch our servers. We can't see your files because we never receive them.

This privacy policy explains what minimal data we do collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR and other privacy regulations.

PDFToolsHouse operates as a web-based PDF processing service. For privacy inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please contact us:

We believe in collecting only what's absolutely necessary. Here's exactly what data we collect:

Client-Side Processing: All PDF manipulation (merging, splitting, compressing, converting) happens entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device. No server-side processing occurs.

Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how our tools are used. This helps us improve performance and fix bugs. All analytics data is anonymized and aggregated—we cannot identify individual users.

Contact Forms: If you contact us via our contact form, we collect and store your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. This data is stored securely and never shared with third parties.

Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you have the following rights:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you (minimal, as we collect almost nothing).
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: Object to processing of your personal data for specific purposes.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@pdftoolshouse.com. We'll respond within 30 days as required by GDPR.

We use minimal cookies to provide essential functionality:

Essential Cookies: These remember your language preferences and basic settings. They're necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled. Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use our tools. All data is anonymized. You can opt out via your browser settings.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality. Disabling analytics cookies will not impact your use of our PDF tools.

Client-Side Security: Because your files never leave your browser, they're protected by your device's security. We use industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption for all web traffic.

Minimal Attack Surface: We can't lose what we don't have. Since we never store your files on our servers, there's no centralized database of user documents to breach. Your privacy is protected by architecture, not just policy.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll provide prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
