Privacy Policy
How PdfQuire handles account data and browser-local PDF processing.
Last updated: 2026-11-08
Introduction
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use PdfQuire.
PDF file processing
The free page workspace (split, extract, combine, and page organize) is designed to process PDF files in your browser session:
- When you choose a PDF from your device, the file is read with the browser File API and kept in memory for that session.
- Basic organize, extract, and combine tools do not require posting your PDF to a remote PDF processing API.
- A Phase 4 Network review of the import and export path did not observe remote PDF uploads for that flow. Worker, font, and static assets load from this site.
- Closing the browser tab releases in-memory file data for that session. Do not process confidential files on a shared computer.
- Optional “sample file” demos may load same-origin fixture PDFs from this site for testing. Those fixtures are not your private documents.
If we later add optional cloud features (for example account sync, paid large-file processing, or OCR), those features will be described clearly and will not silently change the default local workspace behavior.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Account Information — Name, email address, and other details you provide if you create an account.
- Usage Data — How you interact with the service (pages visited, features used). This does not include the contents of PDFs processed in the local workspace.
- Device Information — Device type, operating system, and browser type, used to improve compatibility.
- Cookies — Small data files used for preferences, authentication, and (when enabled) analytics or consent choices.
- Payment Information — If you purchase a paid feature, billing is handled by trusted third-party processors. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
You can use the basic PDF workspace without creating an account.
How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the service.
- Process transactions and send related confirmations when you buy paid features.
- Send technical notices, security alerts, and support messages.
- Respond to questions, feedback, and support requests.
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud and abuse.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these limited cases:
- With service providers who help us operate the service, under confidentiality agreements.
- To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
- To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit where applicable, access controls, and regular reviews. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, export, or delete your personal information. You can do this through your account settings (when signed in) or by contacting us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, sending a notice through the service.
