Scope and operator
This policy describes how PlayWithPDF.in (“PlayWithPDF”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you browse the site, use a PDF workflow, create an account, or contact us. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to playwithpdf@gmail.com.
Information we process
- Information you provide: name, email address, subject, message, account details, and settings you choose to save.
- Technical visit information: IP address, requested and referring URLs, browser, operating system, device type, user agent, approximate country or city derived from an IP address, timestamps, and security or diagnostic logs.
- Usage and measurement information: page views, interactions, session identifiers, and related Analytics data where enabled and permitted.
- Documents selected for a tool: the file and tool settings necessary to perform the operation you request.
How PDF files are handled
Browser-side tools process the selected document on your device using browser libraries. The file is not sent to the PlayWithPDF application by that workflow. Examples include the current merge, split, page organization, image conversion, and page-number workflows.
Server-assisted tools upload the selected file and necessary settings to PlayWithPDF's server for in-house processing. Protection and unlocking also send the password. Compression runs in your browser unless the in-house engine is enabled; an unavailable compression engine may use a limited browser fallback. These workflows do not send your PDF to an external PDF processing API. Relevant tool pages display their processing mode.
Why we use information
We use information to provide requested tools and downloads, operate accounts and forms, secure and troubleshoot the service, understand traffic and product performance, respond to messages, maintain records, comply with applicable obligations, prevent abuse, and—if advertising is enabled—deliver and measure advertisements.
Google Analytics and advertising
The site includes Google Analytics. Google Analytics may use first-party identifiers such as the _ga cookie to distinguish users and sessions and may receive device, browser, interaction, and IP-derived information according to Google’s terms and controls.
If Google AdSense is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Google’s advertising cookies can enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to PlayWithPDF and/or other sites where consent and law permit. Users can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. Other authorized advertising vendors may provide their own controls.
See our Cookie Policy and Google Business Data Responsibility information.
Consent choices
Where consent is required, non-essential Analytics or advertising storage should follow the choice recorded through the applicable consent interface. Google requires a certified consent management platform for personalized ads served through its publisher products to users in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Browser controls can also delete or block stored identifiers, although some requested functions may then be unavailable.
Sharing and service providers
Information may be processed by hosting, security, geolocation, analytics, advertising, email, and document-processing providers used to operate the site. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect users or the service, investigate abuse, or complete a business reorganization subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not sell uploaded PDF contents.
Retention and security
We retain contact, account, analytics, visit, security, and operational records only for as long as reasonably necessary for their stated purposes, legal obligations, dispute handling, and abuse prevention. Retention can differ by record and provider. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS in production, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security or error-free output.
Your choices and requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, or withdrawal of consent. Send a request from the relevant email address to playwithpdf@gmail.com. We may need to verify the request and may retain information where legally permitted or required.
Children and international processing
PlayWithPDF is a general utility service and is not directed to children. Service providers may process information in countries other than the user’s country, where privacy rules may differ. Appropriate provider terms and available transfer safeguards apply.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product, providers, or requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes should be explained through an appropriate site notice where reasonably required.
