Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 5, 2026
1. File and data processing
Most tools on PDUtilities process your files and text entirely within your own browser using client-side JavaScript. For these tools, your files are never transmitted to our servers or any third party, they are read, processed and downloaded locally on your device. We clearly label each tool that works this way with a “processed in your browser” notice. If a future tool requires server-side processing, this policy will be updated and the tool page will clearly disclose it before you use it.
2. Information we collect
We do not require account creation to use PDUtilities. If you contact us through our contact form, the information you provide (name, email address and message) is forwarded to our email inbox through Cloudflare, together with your IP address and approximate country, which we use only to deal with spam and abuse. Contact form submissions are not stored in a database; they exist only as the email we receive, and we use them solely to reply to you.
3. Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand aggregate site usage (e.g. which tools are popular, general traffic patterns) and to improve the site. Analytics data is anonymized or aggregated where possible and is not used to personally identify you.
4. Cookies
PDUtilities may use cookies for essential site functionality and, where enabled, for analytics and advertising purposes. See our Cookie Policy for details on the types of cookies used and how to control them.
5. Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising that helps keep PDUtilities free. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.
6. Third-party services
We may use third-party services for hosting, analytics and advertising. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
