Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how mypdf.guru collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website and PDF tools.

Last updated: 2026-09-02

Policy Summary

  • Most tools — client-side processing: compress, merge, split, convert, watermark, password tools, and related utilities run in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers for those operations.
  • PDF Editor — server processing: your PDF is transmitted to our server temporarily to extract layout data and generate your download. We do not store files in user accounts. Processing data is removed immediately after the job completes.
  • No account required: tools can be used without registration or login.
  • Google Analytics: we collect general usage data (pages visited, device type). Analytics does not receive PDF file contents.
  • Google AdSense: advertisements may be displayed. Google may use cookies for ad delivery and measurement.
  • Contact form: when you submit an inquiry, we store your name, email address, and message to respond.
  • We do not sell personal data.

This policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. For privacy-related inquiries, use our Contact page.

How our PDF tools handle your files

mypdf.guru provides multiple PDF utilities. Processing location depends on the tool you select:

Most tools on mypdf.guru — including Compress PDF, Merge PDF, Split PDF, Image to PDF, PDF to Image, Watermark, Sign PDF, Password Remover, and Password Adder — process files locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers for those operations.

Your browser may keep data in memory or in its download folder while you work. That stays on your device and is controlled by your browser settings.

PDF Editor — server processing

Only PDF Editor transmits your PDF to our server. Accurate in-document text editing requires server-side processing that is not reliably available in all browsers.

When you use PDF Editor, your file is sent to our server to:

  • Read text positions, fonts, colors, and layout (extract step)
  • Build your edited download when you click Download (apply step)

We accept PDFs up to 40 MB for PDF Editor. Password-protected PDFs are not supported in the editor.

We do not store your PDF in a user account or as long-term file storage. When processing completes, associated data is removed immediately. We do not use PDF contents for training, marketing, or sale to third parties.

Information we collect

Using PDF tools: no account, no login, no name or email required.

Google Analytics: page views, general device and browser info, approximate location (country/city level), and how you move through the site. Not your PDF file contents.

Google AdSense: if ads are shown, Google may collect data for ad delivery and reporting under its own policies.

Contact form: when you submit the form, we collect and store:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Subject
  • Message
  • Technical details for security: IP address (if available), browser type, referer page, and timestamp

How we use information

  • Run the website: serve pages and PDF tools.
  • Support: reply when you contact us.
  • Security: reduce spam, abuse, and protect the service.
  • Improve the site: understand which pages help people and fix problems.

We do not use Contact form data for unrelated marketing. We do not sell personal information.

How long we keep data

PDF Editor files: processed only for the active edit session and removed immediately afterward. Not retained as long-term storage.

Contact form messages: kept so we can reply and maintain support history. They may be kept until you ask us to remove them.

To request deletion of a Contact submission, email us through Contact Us from the same address you used.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google tag) to understand how people use mypdf.guru — for example, which tool pages are popular and whether the site works on mobile.

Analytics sees website usage, not what is inside your PDF files. Google may use cookies or similar technologies. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy or opt out with Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on.

Cookies

mypdf.guru uses cookies and similar technologies through Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These help measure traffic and show ads. They do not read your PDF file contents.

Your browser may also store cookies for normal site behaviour. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

mypdf.guru may show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where allowed by law and your settings.

Manage ad preferences at Google Ad Settings. Google’s ad policies apply to how ad data is handled.

Your rights (GDPR / EU & UK users)

If you are in the EU, UK, or a region with similar privacy laws, you may have the right to:

  • Ask what personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct or delete it
  • Object to certain processing
  • Manage cookies in your browser and Google ad settings

Contact us via Contact Us with the same email you used. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Third-party services

Our pages load some third-party resources — for example Google Fonts, Font Awesome icons, and Google Analytics/AdSense scripts. When your browser loads these, those providers may receive basic request data (such as IP address and browser type).

We keep third-party services limited to what the site needs to work and look correct.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website and information you submit. No online service can guarantee absolute security. If you identify a security issue, please contact us promptly.

International users

mypdf.guru is used from many countries, including India. If you access the site from outside our hosting location, your information may be processed where our servers run. We aim to handle data responsibly no matter where you live.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when we add tools, change how a tool works, or update analytics or ads. When we do, we update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Questions about this policy may be submitted via our Contact page.

Privacy FAQ

Does mypdf.guru upload my PDF to a server?

For most tools, files remain on your device and are processed in your browser. PDF Editor is the exception: your PDF is transmitted to our server for extract and export operations. That data is removed immediately after processing. We do not retain it as stored files.

Do you store my PDF files after I use a tool?

No. Browser-based tools do not transmit your files to our servers. PDF Editor uses temporary server-side processing for the active session only; data is not retained afterward. We do not maintain a library of user documents.

Do I need an account to use mypdf.guru?

No. There is no registration or login requirement. You may use the tools and download results directly.

Can Google Analytics see my PDF contents?

No. Analytics tracks website usage — pages visited, device type, general location. It does not receive your PDF files or the text and images inside them.

Does mypdf.guru use cookies?

Yes. Google Analytics and Google AdSense may set cookies to measure traffic and show ads. These cookies are about the website, not your PDF file contents. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

Does mypdf.guru show ads?

The site may show ads through Google AdSense. Google handles ad cookies and personalization under its own policies. You can manage ad settings at Google Ad Settings.

What happens when I submit the Contact form?

We save your name, email, subject, message, and basic technical details (like IP and browser type) so we can reply and prevent spam. We do not sell this information. You can ask us to delete your submission by contacting us from the same email.

Can I use mypdf.guru with sensitive documents?

For sensitive files, browser-based tools (compress, merge, split, image to PDF, and similar) keep processing on your device. PDF Editor requires temporary server-side processing for that session. We recommend retaining a backup copy of important documents regardless of which tool you use.

Do you sell my personal data?

No. We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers. Google Analytics and AdSense are third-party services with their own policies for the data they collect on our site.

How do I ask a privacy question or request data deletion?

Submit a request via our Contact page. Include the email address used in your inquiry if you are requesting deletion of a Contact form submission.
