Privacy Policy & Zero-Upload Guarantee
A plain, technically precise explanation of why your PDF files never reach any server, aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
The Zero-Upload Technical Reality
Most traditional online PDF tools operate on a client-server architecture: you upload your 10 MB PDF over the internet, a server in Europe or North America processes it on a remote virtual machine, and your browser downloads the converted file back. Even when services promise to delete files after 1 hour, that transmission opens data exposure risks for sensitive documents like Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, salary slips, and medical records.
PDFConvert.in operates on an in-browser runtime architecture. When you select a document on this site:
The browser reads your file as a local ArrayBuffer directly in your device RAM.
PDF-Lib and Mozilla PDF.js execute transformation algorithms on local CPU threads.
The resulting PDF Blob is saved directly to your local downloads folder.
How to Independently Verify Our Privacy Claim
You do not have to take our word for it. You can independently verify that zero bytes leave your computer:
- Press F12 (or Right-Click → Inspect) in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Firefox to open Developer Tools.
- Click the Network tab and select the "Fetch/XHR" filter.
- Choose any PDF file and convert, merge, or compress it on PDFConvert.in.
- Observe the Network activity: you will see zero POST requests, zero file payload transfers, and zero network traffic.
Data Protection Rights (DPDP Act 2023 & GDPR)
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and international frameworks like GDPR, users are entitled to clear disclosures regarding personal data collection:
We do NOT collect, process, read, or store document text, marksheet scores, salary details, or identification numbers. Everything remains on your local hardware.
We do NOT require user account creation, email registration, phone numbers, or credit card details.
Transparent Cookieless Analytics & Telemetry
To understand which tools are useful and prioritize future improvements for Indian exam aspirants and professionals, we measure basic aggregate pageview counts (e.g., "Merge PDF page visited 100 times today").
Strict Boundary:
No analytics script has access to file names, document text, images, or extracted content. Telemetry only counts general page visits and tool button clicks without storing tracking cookies.
