Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains how PDFToolsFast (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use pdftoolsfast.com (the “Service”). The short version: your files never leave your device, and we don’t track you.

1. Your files are processed locally, never uploaded

Every PDFToolsFast tool runs inside your web browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. When you select a document, image or password:

  • it is read and processed only in your device’s memory;
  • it is never uploaded to our servers or sent to any third party;
  • we have no access to it and keep no copy of it or of the output;
  • it is discarded when you close or reload the page.

Passwords you enter in Protect PDF or Unlock PDF are used only on your device to encrypt or decrypt the file and are never transmitted or stored.

2. Information we do not collect

  • We do not require or offer accounts, so we collect no names, emails or passwords to use the tools.
  • We do not use analytics or advertising trackers, tracking cookies, fingerprinting or session recording.
  • We do not load third-party scripts, fonts or embeds: every file the site uses is served from pdftoolsfast.com.
  • We do not sell, rent or share personal information.

3. Information processed by our hosting provider

Like every website, our pages must be delivered to your browser. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver pages securely and protect the site against abuse, Cloudflare automatically processes standard technical data for each request, such as your IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and the time of the request. This data concerns page requests only: it never includes the files you process with our tools. Cloudflare handles this data as described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

4. Emails you send us

If you contact us at [email protected], we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply and to improve the Service, keep it only as long as needed for that, and never share it for marketing. Please don’t send confidential documents by email.

5. Cookies and local storage

We do not set tracking cookies. If you save choices on our Cookie settings page, that choice is stored in your browser’s local storage on your device so the site can respect it; it is not sent to us. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Advertising and analytics in the future

The Service currently shows no ads and uses no analytics. If we introduce them, for example Google AdSense to keep the tools free, we will update this policy before they go live, describe which third parties are involved and what data they use, and ask for your consent where the law requires it. Third-party vendors such as Google may then use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites; you would be able to opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings and our Cookie settings page.

7. Children

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, and to complain to a data protection authority. Because we don’t hold your files or create user profiles, the only personal information we may hold is email correspondence you send us. To exercise your rights, email [email protected].

9. Security

The site is served over HTTPS with security headers that, among other things, prevent it from being embedded in other sites. Because your files stay on your device, the main protection for them is the security of your own device and browser.

10. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when our practices change. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest version. Material changes, such as adding advertising or analytics, will be reflected here before they take effect.
