Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 October 2026
At SmartPDF Tools, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.
1. File Processing
Most tools process your files entirely inside your web browser. These files are not uploaded to, stored on, or accessed by our servers. Each of these tools is labelled “Files stay on your device”.
Some tools (Office conversion, PDF encryption and unlocking, redaction, text editing, digital signatures, PDF/A archiving, repair and comparison) are labelled “Secure server processing”. For these, your file is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to an isolated processing worker, converted, and the input and output are deleted automatically shortly after the download link expires. We never sell, share or inspect these files.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require an account and do not collect personal information to use our tools. Our servers may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and request time) for security, abuse prevention and rate limiting.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
We use your browser's local storage only to remember your language, light/dark theme, pinned favorite tools and cookie notice choice.
This site shows ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), ads use cookies only with your consent.
4. Your Choices
You can clear local storage at any time from your browser settings. If you have a question about this policy, please use our contact page.
