Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2025

Short version: Your files never leave your browser. We don't upload, store, or sell your PDFs. Ever.

1. Who We Are

PDFQuick ("we", "us", or "our") is a free online PDF tool available at usepdfquick.com. We provide browser-based PDF tools including merging, compressing, splitting, and protecting PDF files.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to provide our service:

  • Account data: If you create an account, we store your email address and encrypted password via Supabase authentication.
  • File metadata: If you are logged in, we save the name and size of files you process (not the file content itself).
  • Usage data: Basic analytics such as page views may be collected anonymously.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

We want to be very clear about what we never do:

  • ❌ We do NOT upload your PDF files to any server
  • ❌ We do NOT read or access the content of your files
  • ❌ We do NOT sell your data to third parties
  • ❌ We do NOT store your files anywhere
  • ❌ We do NOT share your email with advertisers

4. How Your Files Are Processed

All PDF processing happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your files are loaded into your browser's memory, processed locally on your device, and the result is made available for download — all without ever being sent to our servers.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies only — these are required for login sessions to work. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

7. Data Security

We take security seriously. Your account password is encrypted and never stored in plain text. All connections use HTTPS encryption. Since your files never leave your browser, there is no risk of your PDF content being intercepted.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Export your data
  • Opt out of any non-essential data collection

9. Children's Privacy

PDFQuick is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
