Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2, 2026

TL;DR: Your files are processed entirely in your browser. We never receive or store your documents. We collect basic analytics data to improve the service and use Google AdSense to display ads. Read on for full details.

1. Introduction

Welcome to EasyEditPDFs ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it when you use our website at https://easyeditpdfs.com (the "Service").

Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our Service.

2. Our Core Privacy Model: Client-Side Processing

The most important thing to understand about EasyEditPDFs is our client-side processing model. Unlike most online PDF tools, we do not upload your files to any server for processing.

When you use a tool (e.g., Compress PDF, Merge PDF, OCR), the following happens:

  • Your file is loaded into your browser's memory only — it is not transmitted to our servers.
  • A WebAssembly (WASM) library or browser API performs the requested operation locally on your device.
  • The output file is made available to you as a browser download.
  • When you close the tab, your file data is automatically discarded from browser memory.

We do not receive, store, view, analyze, or share your document files. This is a technical architecture guarantee, not just a policy promise.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Personal Data You Provide

We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, such as:

  • Your name and email address if you contact us via our contact form or support email.

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tools.

3.2 Automatically Collected Usage Data

When you visit our website, certain data is automatically collected for analytics and service improvement purposes:

  • IP address (anonymized by Google Analytics)
  • Browser type, version, and operating system
  • Pages visited, tools used, and time spent on pages
  • Referring website or search query that brought you to us
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • General geographic location (country/city level)

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

3.3 Document Data

We do not collect, store, transmit, or have any access to your PDF files, images, audio files, or other documents processed using our tools. All processing is 100% local to your device.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our Service. There are several types of cookies we use:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off. They include:

  • Session management (e.g., remembering your theme preference)
  • Security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery

4.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to track website traffic and user behavior in aggregate. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous statistical data such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, and how long people spend on the site.

Google Analytics data is processed under Google's own privacy policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We participate in the Google AdSense program to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your interests and prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

Specifically, Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to:

  • Serve ads based on your previous visits to our site or other websites (interest-based advertising)
  • Measure ad performance and prevent showing the same ad too many times
  • Display ads that may be more relevant to your interests

You can control advertising cookies and opt out of personalized advertising by:

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Service Improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to improve tool performance and add requested features
  • Customer Support: Responding to your inquiries and resolving issues
  • Advertising: Displaying relevant advertisements through Google AdSense to sustain the free service
  • Security: Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • Legal Compliance: Meeting our obligations under applicable law

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited data with:

  • Google LLC — for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Law enforcement or regulatory bodies — only when required by law or a valid legal order.

7. Your Rights

7.1 GDPR — European Union Users

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to our processing of your data, and request data portability.

Since we do not store your documents or require accounts, we hold minimal personal data. To exercise any rights, contact us at: [email protected].

7.2 CCPA — California Users

California residents have the right to know what personal data is collected, the right to deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal data. We do not sell personal data.

8. Data Retention

We retain analytical data (via Google Analytics) for up to 26 months, consistent with Google's data retention policy. Email correspondence is retained for up to 1 year for support purposes. We retain no document data whatsoever.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will promptly delete it.

10. Security

We use industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers (which only serve website code, not your documents). Our client-side architecture means the security of your documents depends only on the security of your own device and browser.

11. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when posted on this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
