The full text of ProPDFMaker's Privacy Policy, covering all aspects of data collection, use, and your rights.
Welcome to ProPDFMaker ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle information when you visit and use our website and tools. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected, why it is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your information.
By using ProPDFMaker, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.
This is the most important section of our Privacy Policy. All PDF tools on ProPDFMaker — including converters, merge, split, compress, watermark, and all other tools — operate entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript.
This means:
Your documents are yours alone. We have designed every tool specifically to ensure your files stay private on your own device.
When you visit ProPDFMaker, our web server and analytics system may automatically collect limited, non-personal technical information, including:
This information is collected in anonymised, aggregated form and is used solely to understand how the site is used, identify technical issues, and improve the tools and user experience. It is never linked to any personally identifiable information.
If you contact us through the ProPDFMaker contact form, you may provide personal information including your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is:
We do not add you to any mailing list, newsletter, or marketing database without your explicit consent.
ProPDFMaker may use a minimal number of cookies or browser local storage entries for basic website functionality, such as remembering your tool preferences within a session.
We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, or behavioural profiling. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we use any analytics service, it is configured to anonymise all data and respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser settings.
You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using ProPDFMaker tools, as all tools are fully functional without them.
ProPDFMaker tools use open-source JavaScript libraries loaded from content delivery networks (CDNs), including:
When your browser loads these libraries, a standard network request is made to the CDN, which may log your IP address as part of their service. These CDN providers have their own privacy policies. ProPDFMaker does not control or receive this CDN data. All file processing by these libraries happens locally in your browser.
ProPDFMaker may display advertisements to help support the free availability of our tools. If we use an advertising service such as Google AdSense, that service may use cookies to display relevant advertisements based on your interests. These are subject to the advertising provider's own privacy policy.
You can opt out of personalised advertising through your browser settings or by visiting the relevant opt-out pages provided by the advertising network.
We take reasonable technical precautions to protect any information collected through the website. Since all file processing happens in your browser and no files are transmitted to our servers, the primary security of your documents rests with your own device and network security.
We recommend using ProPDFMaker on a secure, trusted network and keeping your browser up to date to benefit from the latest security features.
ProPDFMaker is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the ProPDFMaker Contact page. Because we collect minimal personal data and no file data at all, most requests can be resolved immediately.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools, legal requirements, or best practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date at the top. Your continued use of ProPDFMaker after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this page periodically.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out through the ProPDFMaker Contact Page. We take all privacy enquiries seriously and aim to respond promptly.
