1. Introduction
At PDFTailor (“we”, “us”, “our”), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our PDF editing Service. By using our Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
- Session Data: We use a session cookie on your browser to associate your uploaded PDF with your current session. This cookie does not personally identify you.
- Uploaded Documents: The PDF documents you upload are temporarily stored on our server solely for the purpose of providing the editing service. We do not extract or analyze the content of your document.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Service Delivery: The session cookie is used to track your session and ensure that your document is accessible during your active session.
- Temporary Storage: Your uploaded files are stored temporarily and are automatically deleted when your session expires (after 10 minutes of inactivity) or when we perform regular cleanup of expired sessions.
- No Personal Tracking: We do not track your personal identity or activity beyond what is necessary to provide the Service. No personal information is collected unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through contact forms).
4. Cookies and Session Data
- Session Cookies: We use cookies only to manage your session and to link your uploaded document with your session. These cookies are automatically deleted after the session expires.
- Automatic Deletion: Every few minutes, we check for expired sessions and permanently delete the associated files and session data from our databases and file systems.
5. Data Storage and Security
- Storage: All data, including uploaded PDFs and session information, is stored on our secure servers.
- Security Measures: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
6. Third-Party Services
We do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your data to third parties for their own use. Your data is processed solely on our servers to provide the Service.
7. Data Retention
Your uploaded documents and session data are retained only for the duration of your active session (up to 10 minutes of inactivity). After this period, the data is automatically deleted from our systems.
8. Your Rights and Choices
- Data Collection: As we do not collect personal data (e.g., names, email addresses) during your use of the Service, you have limited rights under applicable data protection laws.
- Session Management: You can control your session by clearing your cookies or closing your browser. Once the session is terminated, any uploaded files will no longer be accessible.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Service after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
