Privacy Policy

1. Overview

PDF Kit ("we", "our", or "the service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website at pdf-kit.thecodingant.in.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike most online tools, PDF Kit does not collect or have access to:

• Your files: Images and PDFs you convert are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. They are never uploaded to our servers.
• File contents: We cannot see, access, or store any content from your documents.
• Personal information: We don't require registration, so we don't collect names, emails, or other personal details.
• Conversion history: We don't track or store records of your conversions.

3. Information We DO Collect

We collect limited, anonymous data to improve the service:

3.1 Analytics Data (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referral sources (how you found our site)
• General geographic location (country/city level, not precise)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Screen resolution

This data is anonymized and aggregated. It cannot be used to identify you personally.

3.2 Advertising Data (Google Ads)

We display advertisements through Google Ads to support the free service. Google may:

• Use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites
• Collect data about ad interactions (clicks, impressions)
• Use this information to show you relevant advertisements

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

4. Cookies

PDF Kit and our third-party services use cookies for:

• Essential functionality: Remembering your dark mode preference
• Analytics: Google Analytics cookies to understand site usage
• Advertising: Google Ads cookies for relevant advertisements

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some functionality but will not prevent file conversion from working.

5. Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save preferences like dark mode settings. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.

6. Data Security

Because your files are processed locally and never uploaded:

• There is no risk of your files being intercepted during upload
• There is no risk of data breach exposing your files
• When you close the browser tab, your files are removed from memory

The website is served over HTTPS to ensure secure communication.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

8. Children's Privacy

PDF Kit is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the service after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's minimal data to manage. However, you can:

• Clear your browser cookies and local storage at any time
• Use browser settings or extensions to block analytics and advertising
• Opt out of Google's personalized advertising
