Privacy Policy

1. Document Processing (Local in Browser Memory)

PDFSmart Tools is built to manipulate and convert documents directly inside your browser memory using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript libraries. In standard operation, your PDF, DOCX, JPG, or PNG files are not uploaded to or stored on our servers. However, because local execution relies entirely on client hardware, browser capabilities, and available memory, results and behavior may vary depending on the file and browser. Users should always maintain copies of their original files.

2. External Assets & Service Delivery

To deliver a fast, responsive user interface without hosting large static bundles locally, our application loads certain operational assets from trusted third-party providers:

• Google Fonts: Web fonts are loaded from Google CDN servers to ensure clear, consistent typography.
• PDF.js Worker CDN (unpkg.com): The open-source Mozilla PDF.js rendering worker script runs client-side threads in your browser. Your document contents are never transmitted to unpkg.
• EmailJS Contact API: When you voluntarily submit a message through our Contact & Support page, only the information you enter (your name, email address, subject, and message) is sent to EmailJS to deliver your inquiry to our support team.

3. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

We prioritize minimal tracking and honest disclosure:

• Current Status: Our website does not currently display third-party advertisements or use a Consent Management Platform (CMP). We do not claim implementation of IAB Europe TCF frameworks or active ad tracking mechanisms at this time.
• Future Advertising Partners: If third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) are introduced following relevant platform approvals, this policy will be updated with full details on cookies, device identifiers, and opt-out mechanisms before any ad scripts are activated.
• Browser Storage: Local storage or session cookies may be used purely to preserve non-sensitive UI settings, such as selected categories or display preferences.

4. Limitation of Warranty & Backup Reminder

The utilities and documentation on PDFSmart Tools are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any express or implied warranty. We do not provide an absolute guarantee of privacy or error-free execution. Always retain original backup copies of your files before performing conversion, compression, or modification routines.

5. Technical & Analytic Data

When you visit our website, standard web server logs and privacy-preserving analytics may record anonymous technical details such as your browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and used solely to diagnose technical issues and optimize performance.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external reference resources or documentation. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

7. Updates to This Policy

We reserve the right to periodically modify this Privacy Policy. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date.
