Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 26, 2026. Your privacy and document security are our highest priorities.

1. Introduction

Welcome to GetIntoPDF.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how our web application handles your data, document files, and browser interactions.

2. Core Privacy Guarantee: 100% Client-Side Processing

Unlike traditional online PDF converter platforms, GetIntoPDF does not upload, copy, store, or transmit your uploaded document files to any remote server or third-party cloud service. All document manipulation (including merging, splitting, compressing, rotating, watermarking, protecting, and converting) is executed 100% locally within your device's web browser session using client-side JavaScript technologies.

  • Your PDF files remain strictly stored in your local browser memory (RAM) during processing.
  • Once you close your browser tab or click "Start Over", all in-memory file buffers are permanently cleared.
  • We cannot read, view, or recover any document processed on our platform.

3. Data Collection and Usage

Because processing occurs on your client device, we do not collect personal identifying information (PII) such as names, addresses, or phone numbers unless voluntarily provided through our Contact page.

A. Log Data & Standard Web Analytics

Like most websites, our web server host may collect standard non-identifying technical web logs, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and timestamps. This standard data is used strictly for server monitoring, network stability, and security protection.

B. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

GetIntoPDF displays advertisements served by Google AdSense to support free access to our tools. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on user visits to our site and other sites on the internet.

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to GetIntoPDF.com and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

4. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Under regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Know / Access: Since we do not collect or store your document data, there is no personal document data stored in our systems to access or request.
  • Right to Erasure / Deletion: Closing your browser tab automatically purges any temporary browser memory used by our scripts.
  • Do Not Sell My Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data or document content to third parties under any circumstances.

5. Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by websites. GetIntoPDF uses minimal cookies essential for UI functionality (such as remembering your preferred dark/light theme setting) and third-party advertising cookies served by Google AdSense.

6. Links to External Sites

Our website may contain links to external sites (such as our blog or external resources). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external websites.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in web standards or operational requirements. Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated timestamp.
