Your files

Every tool on this site runs in your own browser. When you add a PDF, it is opened and changed on your device. It is not uploaded to us or to anyone else, and we never see its contents or its name.

The finished file is created on your device too. Closing or reloading the page removes it from the browser's memory.

What we collect

Nothing about you ourselves. There is no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. The site itself sets no cookies; the one exception, a security cookie from our host, is explained under Hosting.

Personal data reaches anyone in only three cases, each described below: the technical data our host needs to deliver the pages, an email you choose to send us, and a donation you choose to make.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. To deliver the pages and protect the site from attacks, Cloudflare necessarily processes your IP address, the time of each request, the page requested and the type of browser you use. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a working and secure website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Cloudflare acts as our processor under its data processing agreement. Data may be processed in the USA. Cloudflare is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). We do not keep access logs ourselves.

Fonts and all other parts of the site are served from this site itself. No part of a page is loaded from any other website, with one exception: Ko-fi's tip panel on the donate page, and only after you open it.

To protect the site from attacks, Cloudflare may place a small security cookie in your browser. It only helps tell real visitors from automated attacks, is not used to track you, and is strictly necessary to run the site securely (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG).

What is stored on your device

If you use the light and dark switch or choose a language, your choice is saved in your browser so the site remembers it next time. If you close the language suggestion, that is remembered the same way.

Your browser also keeps a copy of the site itself (its pages, scripts and fonts, a few megabytes) so that the tools work without an internet connection. This copy contains none of your files.

Both are strictly necessary for features you use, so no consent is required (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG). Neither is ever sent to us, and you can delete both at any time in your browser's settings for this site.

Email

If you write to [email protected], we use your email address and message only to answer you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in replying (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Mail to this address is forwarded by Cloudflare's email routing and delivered to a mailbox provided by Google. Google is also certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We delete messages once they are no longer needed, unless the law requires us to keep them.

Donations

On the donate page, Ko-fi's tip panel (Ko-fi Labs Limited, United Kingdom) loads only when you click Donate; until then no Ko-fi code is loaded and nothing is sent to Ko-fi. Once open, the panel is Ko-fi's own page shown inside ours: Ko-fi receives your IP address and browser details and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy. The other donate buttons on the site are plain links to Ko-fi. The United Kingdom is covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

If you donate, Ko-fi and its payment providers (PayPal or Stripe) process the payment under their own privacy policies. We never see your full card or bank details. Ko-fi shows us the amount, your email address and any name and message you choose to leave; depending on the payment method, the name registered with the payment provider may also be passed on. We use this only to thank you and to keep records (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), and keep the records for as long as tax law requires (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR).

Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to have it corrected (Art. 16), deleted (Art. 17) or its use restricted (Art. 18), and to receive it in a portable format (Art. 20). You can object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21). To use any of these rights, write to [email protected].

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU country where you live or work. The authority responsible for us is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.

Because we hold almost no data about anyone, there will usually be nothing to hand over or delete, but we will always answer.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

How to check this yourself

Open your browser's developer tools and choose the Network tab. Then use any tool: add a file, run it, and download the result. You will see the site's own pages and scripts load, and no request that sends your file anywhere.

The simplest check needs no tools at all. Open the site once and let it finish loading, then turn off your Wi-Fi or mobile data and use any tool. It works exactly the same, which it could not do if your file had to be sent anywhere.

The site also instructs your browser to refuse connections to any other website, so even a mistake in our code could not send your file elsewhere. The only other website a page can show is Ko-fi's tip panel, after you open it.

Changes

If a future tool needs to upload a file to work, it will say so clearly on its page before anything is sent, and this page will be updated first.
