Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2025
1. Information We Do Not Collect
PDFCompressorOnline.com is designed with privacy as its fundamental principle. We do not collect, store, process, or transmit your PDF files or any of their contents. All PDF compression operations run entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never reach our servers, or any third-party server, at any point during the compression process.
We do not collect: your PDF files or their contents, personal documents, sensitive information, file names or metadata from your documents, or any data related to the files you compress.
2. Information We May Collect
To improve our service, we may collect limited, anonymised usage data through standard web analytics tools. This may include pages visited and time spent, browser type and operating system (in aggregate), geographic region at country or city level, referring website, and error logs to identify technical issues. This data is collected in aggregate and is never linked to your identity or documents.
3. Cookies
We use minimal cookies to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) and for basic analytics if applicable. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, or identifying individual users. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website may use Google Analytics for anonymised traffic analytics and Google AdSense to display advertisements that keep this service free. These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We do not share any personal data with these services beyond standard web analytics information.
5. Data Security
Since we do not collect or store your PDF files, the primary data breach risk — exposure of your documents — is eliminated by design. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all connections. Any limited analytics data is stored securely and is not sold to any third party.
6. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us immediately.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
