Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026  |  Effective date: May 2026

PDFperch is designed to protect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we process, why we process it, and how we use the tools that support the website. The service is intended to minimise data collection and avoid server-side file handling.

1. Who We Are

PDFperch is a browser-based document utility available at pdfperch.pages.dev. For questions about this policy, contact us at pdfperch@gmail.com.

2. Local File Processing and User Privacy

All document conversion and processing in PDFperch occurs locally within your web browser. No file content, filenames, file metadata, or document data is uploaded to our servers or to any third party. Because of this architecture, we do not have access to the files you process with our tools.

2.1 Verification

You can verify this behaviour using your browser's developer tools. Open the Network tab and operate any tool; you should see only requests for the site assets themselves, not for your document content.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

  • File contents processed by the tools.
  • File names or metadata from your documents.
  • Personal identifiers such as name or email address unless you choose to contact us.
  • Browser history, profiling data, or behavioural tracking.
  • Document-level analytics events, file contents, or usage telemetry from the tools.

4. Hosting and Infrastructure

PDFperch is hosted using standard web infrastructure. The hosting provider may record standard server logs (IP address, URL requested, HTTP status code, timestamp) for operational and security purposes. These logs are managed by the hosting provider and are not under our direct control. No document content is included in those logs.

5. Analytics and Search Monitoring

PDFperch does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, or any other analytics, tracking, or search-monitoring service. No visitor or traffic data is collected by PDFperch or shared with any third party for this purpose.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

PDFperch does not display advertisements and does not set any first-party or third-party cookies for advertising, analytics, or cross-site tracking.

The site may use browser local storage only to store transient tool preferences (such as your theme choice). This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to PDFperch or any third party.

7. Third-Party Services

The website may load resources from trusted third-party providers that deliver fonts and libraries. These providers may collect request metadata in accordance with their own privacy policies.

  • Google Fonts: used to load typography assets. Browsers request fonts from Google's servers when the site is loaded.
  • jsDelivr / cdnjs: used to load JavaScript libraries such as PDF.js and pdf-lib.

8. Contact Communications

If you contact us by email at pdfperch@gmail.com, we will use your message only to respond to your inquiry. We will not add your email address to a mailing list without your explicit consent, and we will not share your contact information with third parties.

9. Children

PDFperch does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction. Because we do not collect personal data, there is no mechanism for storing such information. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Your Rights

In many jurisdictions, data protection laws provide rights such as access, correction, deletion, and portability. Because PDFperch does not collect or retain personal data about users, most of these rights are naturally satisfied. If you have emailed us and wish us to delete your correspondence, please request deletion at pdfperch@gmail.com.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when the policy changes. Continued use of the website after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
