Privacy Policy
PDF Tools — effective September 14, 2026
1. Overview
PDF Tools ("we", "us") operates a free online collection of browser-based PDF tools at pdf.worldmap.cc. We are committed to keeping your visit private. This policy explains what information is collected and how it is used.
2. Files are processed locally
Your files never leave your device. Every tool on this site runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you open a PDF, image or document, it is read on your own computer, processed locally, and the result is generated and downloaded directly. No file is uploaded to any server, stored anywhere, or transmitted over the network. Closing the page leaves nothing behind.
3. Information we collect
We do not collect personal information. The site has no accounts, no registration and no purchase flows. Because files are processed locally, we never see, receive or store your documents.
Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical log data for each request: IP address, browser type, referring page, date and time, and the pages requested. This data is used only for security, abuse prevention and basic traffic statistics. It is not combined with any personal identifiers and is not sold or shared.
4. Cookies and tracking
This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, fingerprinting or cross-site tracking. The only storage that may occur is strictly functional (for example, remembering a theme preference you choose). We do not use third-party advertising networks.
5. External links
Some pages may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please review their policies when you visit them.
6. Children's privacy
Our service is a general reference and productivity tool and does not knowingly collect any information from children. No personal data is collected from any visitor regardless of age.
7. Data retention and security
Server logs are retained only as long as necessary for security purposes and then deleted. Reasonable technical measures are used to protect the site and its visitors. Because no user files are ever stored, there is no document data to protect or retain.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
