Privacy Policy
Last updated 27 August 2026
The short version
Your files are never sent to us. Every conversion runs inside your own browser, so the documents you open here stay on your device and are discarded from memory when you close the tab.
Files you process
When you choose a file, the browser reads it into local memory and the tool operates on it there. No copy is transmitted to PDFLove or to any third party. We therefore do not store your files, cannot access their contents, and have nothing to hand over if asked.
If a future tool requires server-side processing to produce an acceptable result, that tool will say so clearly on its own page before you use it, and the choice will be yours.
Information we do collect
- Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics to count which pages are visited and which tools are used, so we know what to improve. It is configured to store nothing on your device — no cookies and no identifier — which is why this site has no consent banner, and also means you are not recognised from one visit to the next. Ad personalisation and Google Signals are switched off. It never receives file names or file contents.
- Server logs. Our host records standard request data — IP address, browser type, timestamp — for security and abuse prevention, retained for a short period.
- Local preferences. Your colour-theme choice is kept in your browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
Advertising
PDFLove does not currently show ads, and no ad network is loaded on any page. If that changes, this section will say so first: third party networks — including Google AdSense — may then set cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, acting as independent controllers of the data they collect. Nothing about where your files are processed would change; they would stay on your device either way.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at adssettings.google.com, and from many other networks at optout.aboutads.info. Ad networks never receive your documents, because we never have them.
Children
PDFLove is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you, and to object to certain processing. Because we hold no file contents and no accounts, such requests generally concern analytics and log data only. Send one through the contact form — leave your email address on it so we have somewhere to reply — and we will respond.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised policy.
