Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
How We Handle Your Files
FreePDFApp offers two types of PDF tools, each with different data handling approaches:
- Client-side tools process your files entirely within your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device, are never uploaded to any server, and FreePDFApp has no access to them whatsoever.
- Server-side tools require uploading your files to our servers for processing. All files are encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL. Once processing is complete, files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 1 hour. We do not make copies, backups, or retain any version of your files beyond the processing window.
Personal Information
FreePDFApp does not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information (PII) to use our tools. We believe PDF tools should be accessible to everyone without barriers.
Cookies and Tracking
FreePDFApp uses the following cookies and tracking technologies:
- Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, including pages visited, time on site, and general usage patterns. This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google Analytics may set cookies on your device to facilitate this tracking.
- Google AdSense — We display advertisements through Google AdSense to keep FreePDFApp free for all users. Google AdSense may set advertising cookies on your device to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings.
Third-Party Services
FreePDFApp integrates with the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics — Website analytics and usage statistics.
- Google AdSense — Advertising to support free access to our tools.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they collect and use data. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
