Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
1. Introduction
PDFly ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Files you upload
Files uploaded to PDFly are processed only for the purpose of running the tool you selected. Whenever possible, processing happens in your browser and your files never leave your device. When server-side processing is required, files are stored temporarily on encrypted infrastructure and automatically deleted shortly after processing — typically within one hour. We never read, share, sell or use your files to train any model.
3. Personal information we collect
You can use PDFly's free tools without creating an account. When you contact us via email, we collect the information you choose to provide (name, email, message). We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
4. Log data
Our servers may automatically record standard log data including your IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps. This data is used for security, abuse prevention and to improve the service.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies for essential site functionality, analytics, and (with your consent) advertising. You can manage cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit and through your browser settings. Read our Cookie Policy for more detail.
6. Advertising — Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to PDFly or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized ads at aboutads.info.
- EU users have additional rights under the GDPR. We rely on consent for non-essential cookies, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
7. Analytics
We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which tools and pages are most useful so we can improve them. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
8. Data retention
Uploaded files are deleted shortly after processing. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes and then deleted or anonymized.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us at privacy@mbavirs.com to exercise these rights.
10. Children
PDFly is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
