1. Our Commitment to Privacy
At FILPDF, we believe that your documents are your own. Our platform is built with a 'Privacy-First' architecture, ensuring that your data is never stored longer than necessary to provide the service.
2. Zero Personal Information
We do not require account registration, email addresses, or any personal identification to use our suite of PDF tools. You can use all our features anonymously.
3. Ephemeral File Processing
When you upload a file to FILPDF:
- The file is stored in a secure, temporary directory on our servers.
- The file is processed strictly for the utility you selected (e.g., merging, compressing).
- Your original and processed files are automatically and permanently deleted from our infrastructure after exactly 60 minutes.
- We do not keep backups or internal copies of your documents.
4. Automated Data Collection
Like most online services, we collect non-identifiable technical data to improve performance and security. This includes IP addresses (for rate-limiting), browser types, and operating systems. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
6. Third-Party Advertising
To keep our tools free, we may display advertisements via Google AdSense. These third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
7. Data Security
We implement high-level encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data transfers. Your connection to FILPDF is always secure, preventing 'middle-man' attacks during document uploads and downloads.
8. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Because we do not store personal data or keep documents beyond 60 minutes, there is technically no data for us to provide access to or delete upon request. However, we fully respect all principles of the GDPR and CCPA regarding transparency and data minimization.
9. Children's Privacy
FILPDF does not intentionally target or collect information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you are a parent and believe your child has uploaded a document, rest assured it will be deleted automatically within the hour.
