Privacy Policy
Last updated: . This policy explains how RedPDF ("we", "this site") handles information when you use the free PDF tools on this website.
Your files are never uploaded
Every tool on this site — editing, merging, removing or reordering pages, adding text and comments, compressing and converting PDF or image files — runs entirely inside your own web browser, using JavaScript. The files you open in the tool are read locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers or to any third party. We have no server-side component that receives, stores or processes your documents.
Information we do collect
While your PDF files themselves are never uploaded, this site uses a small number of third-party services for traffic measurement and advertising. Specifically:
- Google Analytics — helps us understand how visitors use this site (which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, general traffic trends). It may collect your IP address, device and browser type, an approximate location derived from your IP, and the pages you visit, and it uses cookies to distinguish sessions and visitors. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
- Google AdSense — serves the advertisements on this site. It may collect your IP address, device and browser information, and use cookies or similar identifiers to select and measure ads, including personalised ads where your consent choices allow it (see the Cookies section of our Legal Notice). See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data for advertising.
- Basic, aggregated server access logs from our hosting provider (e.g. IP address, browser type, pages requested) may be kept for security and troubleshooting purposes.
Local storage
This site may use your browser's local/session storage to remember minor preferences, such as whether you've already dismissed a notification. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
