MyPDF.IN Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 23, 2024
At MyPDF.IN, your privacy is our utmost priority. We are committed to providing you with free, fast, and secure online PDF tools while ensuring your personal information and document data remain protected. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data when you use our website, MyPDF.IN.
1. Our Core Privacy Promise: No File Uploads, No Server Storage
The most fundamental aspect of our service is our commitment to client-side processing. This means:
Your PDF files are never uploaded to our servers. When you use tools like Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, Edit PDF, or Convert PDF, all processing happens directly in your web browser.
We do not store your files. Because files are processed locally on your device, we never receive, store, or have access to the content of your PDF documents. Your files remain on your computer throughout the entire process.
Absolute Confidentiality: This architecture ensures that your sensitive documents and data remain private and secure, under your complete control.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect or store the content of your PDF documents.
We do not require you to create an account or log in to use our tools, thus we do not collect personal identifiers like names, email addresses, or passwords for account management.
We do not store any processed files on our servers.
