Welcome to PDFDepo. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect information when you use PDFDepo and our online PDF tools.

We keep data collection minimal. When you use PDFDepo, we may process:
- Uploaded Files: PDF files or other supported files you upload to use our PDF tools, such as merging, converting, compressing, splitting, or editing documents.
- Usage Data: Basic information about how visitors use our website, such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and general usage activity.
- Cookies: Small data files that may be used to improve website functionality, performance, and user experience.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.

- Understand general website usage and traffic trends

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
PDF File Handling & Security
We understand that PDF documents may contain important or private information. We therefore aim to keep file processing limited to what is necessary to provide the selected tool.
Depending on the PDF tool you use:
- Your uploaded files may be temporarily processed to complete the requested operation.
- Files are transmitted using secure HTTPS connections where supported by our website infrastructure.
- Uploaded files are not intended to be permanently stored as part of normal PDF processing.
- We do not intentionally review or share the contents of your uploaded documents except where technically necessary to provide the requested service.
You should avoid uploading highly confidential, sensitive, or legally restricted documents unless you are comfortable using an online file-processing service.
While we take reasonable measures to protect files and website data, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Cookies
PDFDepo may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Maintain website functionality
- Remember basic preferences
- Improve website performance
- Understand how visitors interact with our website
- Support analytics and related website services
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
Third-Party Services
PDFDepo may use third-party services for functions such as website analytics, performance monitoring, advertising, or other supporting services.
These third parties may collect certain technical or usage information according to their own privacy policies.
PDFDepo does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies when appropriate.
Data Protection
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through PDFDepo, which may include:
- Secure HTTPS connections
- Limited retention of uploaded files
- Appropriate website and server security practices
- Limiting file processing to the functionality requested by the user
However, no website, server, or electronic transmission method is completely secure.
