This Privacy Policy explains how safepdfkit ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our browser-based utility websites, tools, pages, and related services (the "Platform").
Our tools are designed for simple browser use. In many cases, your files are processed directly on your device instead of being uploaded to our servers. This policy explains that local processing model, as well as the limited information that may be collected for site operation, analytics, advertising, security, support, and legal compliance.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please stop using the Platform. This policy applies to our browser-based tools, informational pages, download pages, blog pages, and contact or support interactions.
This Privacy Policy is separate from any Terms and Conditions that may govern acceptable use of the Platform.
We do not require users to create an account to use our browser-based tools. We do not intentionally collect account passwords, profile details, billing information, postal addresses, or mobile numbers for normal tool usage.
Depending on how you use the Platform, we may collect or receive the following limited information:
1. Tool inputs that you type, paste, select, or upload into a browser-based tool, only as needed for the tool to function.
2. Technical information such as browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, approximate location derived from IP address, pages visited, time spent, and general usage events.
3. Information you choose to send to us directly, such as your name, email address, message content, or attachments when you contact us for support or business inquiries.
4. Cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, consent preferences, and similar browser storage data described in the Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising sections below.
Most of our tools process files directly within your browser. Unless specifically stated otherwise, uploaded files are not transmitted to our servers and remain on your device during processing.
Browser-based processing means the file may be opened, converted, compressed, edited, previewed, or otherwise handled by code running locally in your browser. The result is then generated for you to download or use on your device.
Some features may require an internet connection for page loading, scripts, fonts, ads, analytics, examples, templates, optional integrations, or other online resources. If a tool needs to send a file or input to a server for processing, the tool should make that behavior clear in the interface or related documentation.
You should avoid uploading highly sensitive files unless you are comfortable using the specific tool and understand how that tool processes data.
We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies. These technologies help the site remember preferences, measure usage, load features, prevent abuse, and show or measure ads.
Cookies used on the Platform may include:
1. Essential cookies that are needed for site functionality, security, consent choices, or page delivery.
2. Preference cookies that remember interface choices, tool settings, language choices, or similar browser-side preferences.
3. Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the Platform.
4. Advertising cookies that help show ads, limit repeated ads, and measure ad performance.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features, preferences, analytics, or advertising behavior.
We may use analytics tools to understand traffic, performance, errors, and general usage patterns. Analytics data helps us improve tools and prioritize fixes.
The Platform may use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze web traffic. Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, browser and device data, approximate location, referring pages, and interaction events. Google may process this information according to its own privacy policies and settings.
The Platform may also use Microsoft Clarity to understand user interaction through heatmaps, session playbacks, and behavioral metrics. Clarity may capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve our products and services.
We may also use hosting, performance, security, or diagnostic providers, such as Cloudflare, that collect technical logs (IP address, browser information, request URLs, timestamps, and error details) to operate, protect, and optimize the Platform.
We may display advertising to keep the Platform free or low cost for users. Advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, tags, device identifiers, IP address, browser data, approximate location, page context, and interaction data to provide, personalize, limit, and measure ads.
The Platform may work with Monumetric (dba for The Blogger Network, LLC) for advertising. Monumetric will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes. You can learn more from Monumetric's publisher advertising privacy information: Publisher Advertising Privacy.
The Platform may use Google Ads or Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. You can manage Google ad personalization through Google's ad settings and related privacy controls.
Advertising partners act under their own privacy policies. We do not control every cookie or identifier they may use, but you can limit many advertising cookies through browser settings, consent tools where available, and industry opt-out controls.
The Platform may use third-party services for hosting, content delivery, analytics, advertising, fonts, scripts, forms, security, embeds, file libraries, or optional integrations. These providers may process limited technical and usage data as necessary to provide their services.
Our pages may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. Review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.
Files processed locally in your browser are not retained by us. Browser storage created by a tool may remain on your device until you clear it or the browser removes it.
Analytics, advertising, security, and server log data may be retained by us or our service providers for the period needed to operate, analyze, secure, and improve the Platform, or as required by law.
Messages you send to us may be retained as long as needed to respond, maintain business records, resolve issues, or comply with legal obligations.
The Platform is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Platform. Because many tools process files inside your browser, your own device, browser, extensions, operating system, and network also affect privacy and security.
No website, browser tool, network, or storage method is fully secure. You should keep your browser and device updated, use a trusted network, and avoid processing sensitive files on shared or untrusted devices.
The Platform may be accessed from different countries. By using it, you understand that technical, analytics, advertising, and support-related information may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on where we and our service providers operate.
Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a copy of personal information associated with you. You may also have the right to object to certain processing or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
For cookie and advertising choices, you can use browser settings, available consent controls, ad settings provided by advertising partners, or industry opt-out tools. Clearing browser storage may remove tool preferences or locally stored data.
To make a privacy request (such as a request to delete data or update cookie preferences), contact us at marketing@safepdfkit.com. We may need enough information to verify and respond to your request. We will handle requests according to applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools, technology, service providers, legal requirements, or business practices. The updated version will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Platform means you have read the updated policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, our privacy practices, or your experience with the Platform, contact us at marketing@safepdfkit.com.
