Privacy Policy
At PDF POOKIE, your privacy and document security are our highest priorities. Learn how we handle and protect your files.
Local Browser Tools
The PDF Editor, OCR and PDF to JPG run entirely in your browser. Those files are never uploaded.
Deleted Within the Hour
Your upload is deleted as soon as processing finishes; the converted file is deleted within one hour.
HTTPS Encryption
All communications between your device and our application are encrypted with SSL/TLS protocols.
1Information We Collect
PDF POOKIE collects minimal information strictly necessary to provide PDF editing and conversion services:
- Uploaded Files: Documents uploaded for processing (PDFs, images, Word files) are processed in memory or stored in isolated temporary directories.
- Technical Diagnostics: Standard log information such as browser type, IP address, and operation timestamps for application health monitoring.
- We DO NOT collect: Personal identification data, passwords contained inside PDFs, or marketing profile data.
2How We Use Your Information
Your files and data are used solely to perform the explicit conversion, editing, compression, signature, or OCR requested:
- To convert files into your desired output formats (.pdf, .docx, .png, .txt).
- To render PDF pages accurately in the web editor canvas.
- We never sell, share, analyze, or train AI models on user document contents.
3Data Retention & Cleanup
For the tools that use our server, the file you upload is deleted from disk the moment processing finishes. The converted file it produces is kept only long enough for you to download it and is deleted within one hour, by a cleanup job that runs every ten minutes. Nothing is archived, and we keep no copies after that point. Download links stop working once the file is deleted.
4Third-Party Services & Cookies
PDF POOKIE uses standard browser local storage (`localStorage`) to remember your UI options, such as dark mode and toolbar settings. We use two analytics tools to understand how the site is used: Google Analytics, which sets a persistent cookie in your browser, and Vercel Analytics, which is cookie-free. Both record page visits and general device information — never the contents, names or sizes of your documents. We do not run advertising and we do not sell data to anyone.
