Privacy Policy

Understanding how document privacy and browser-based processing work on PDFWale.

1. Introduction

PDFWale ("we", "our", or "website") is dedicated to providing straightforward online PDF tools. This Privacy Policy outlines how your information and documents are handled when using our website and services.

2. Browser-Based Document Processing

Our active PDF tools (such as Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, Rotate PDF, Delete Pages, Extract Pages, Reorder Pages, PDF Editor, Image Conversions, Protect PDF, and Unlock PDF) run client-side directly within your web browser using modern WebAssembly and JavaScript libraries whenever technically practical.

This means your files are opened, modified, and saved locally on your device. We do not store or collect the contents of your PDF files on our servers.

3. Information We Collect

Like most standard websites, we may automatically log standard web server access information, such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and timestamp data.

This non-personally identifiable technical information is used solely to maintain server performance, analyze aggregate site traffic, and prevent abuse.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

PDFWale may use temporary browser local storage (such as IndexedDB or SessionStorage) to handle multi-file transfers between tools when you select a quick action on the homepage. This data remains strictly within your web browser and is cleared automatically upon session reset.

5. Third-Party Links & Services

Our website may contain links to external websites or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party platforms.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect site improvements or technical adjustments. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
