Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 10, 2026
1. Scope & consent
This Privacy Policy explains how ImgPDFTools (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit imgpdftools.xyz and use our free, browser-based image and PDF tools (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Files you process — not collected
Images, PDFs and documents you open in our tools are read into your browser's memory and processed 100% locally. They are never transmitted to us and are discarded when you close or reload the tab.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Pages visited, referring page and time spent
- Browser type, language and device category
- Approximate, country-level geographic region
This is gathered via Google Analytics only after you consent, and your IP address is anonymized.
2.3 Information you provide
If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email and message you submit so we can reply. We do not use these details for marketing.
2.4 Cookies & local storage
We store small preferences (such as your theme and consent choice) and optional tool history on your device. See section 5 for details.
3. How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Service
- To understand aggregate usage trends (analytics)
- To display ads that keep the tools free (only with consent)
- To respond to your support requests and feedback
- To detect, prevent and address abuse or technical issues
4. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)
For visitors in the European Economic Area and UK, we rely on:
- Consent — for analytics and advertising cookies (you may withdraw it at any time).
- Legitimate interests — to keep the Service secure and functioning.
- Performance of a request — to reply when you contact us.
5. Cookies & tracking technologies
We group cookies and similar technologies into the categories below. You can change your choices anytime using the control.
| Category | Purpose | Can disable? |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Theme, language and consent preference. Required for the site to work. | No (always on) |
| Analytics | Google Analytics — anonymous, aggregated usage statistics. | Yes |
| Advertising | Google AdSense — helps fund the free tools; may personalize ads. | Yes |
We use localStorage to save optional tool history (e.g. recent colors or conversions) on your device only; it is automatically cleared after roughly 30 days of inactivity.
6. Third-party services
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics (consent-gated).
- Google AdSense — displays ads to keep the tools free; opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Formspree — securely forwards contact-form submissions to our email.
- CDN providers (Cloudflare, jsDelivr, UNPKG) — deliver the JavaScript libraries the tools need.
7. Data retention
Processed files are never retained — they live only in your browser's memory during use. Analytics data is retained per Google's defaults. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request.
8. International data transfers
Our analytics and ad partners may process limited, anonymized data on servers outside your country. These providers rely on recognized safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
9. Your privacy rights
GDPR (EEA/UK): you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and may object to processing or withdraw consent at any time.
CCPA/CPRA (California): you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell your data. You can limit ad personalization via the cookie preferences on this site.
To exercise any right, contact us using section 14. We will respond within the timeframe required by law.
10. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
Because no common standard exists, we treat a browser “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to keep analytics and advertising cookies disabled until you choose otherwise.
11. Data security
The Service is served over HTTPS. Because your files are processed entirely on your device, the most sensitive data never travels over the network at all — the strongest possible protection.
12. Children's privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised policy.
