Data Protection

At PDFConverterOnlineFree, your privacy is our priority. We are committed to protecting the personal data of our users through rigorous security practices and transparent policies.

1. Our Commitment

We understand the trust you place in us when you use our PDF conversion and management tools. Whether you are merging legal documents, compressing financial reports, or converting sensitive contracts, we ensure that your data remains confidential and secure. Our platform is designed with a "privacy-first" approach, meaning we aim to collect the absolute minimum amount of data necessary to provide our services.

2. Data Processing Principles

We adhere to the following core principles in our data processing activities:

  • Transparency: We are open about how we handle data and what we do with uploaded files.
  • Purpose Limitation: We only process files for the specific purpose you requested (e.g., converting a PDF to Word).
  • Data Minimization: We do not ask for personal information unless it is strictly required for a specific feature.
  • Storage Limitation: We automatically delete all uploaded and processed files from our servers within 30 minutes of processing.
  • Integrity and Confidentiality: We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to prevent unauthorized access.

3. Compliance with Global Standards

We strive to comply with major data protection regulations, including:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): We respect the rights of European Union residents, including the right to access, rectify, and erase their data.

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): We provide California residents with transparency regarding data collection and the ability to opt-out if applicable.

Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, high-performance servers that undergo regular security audits to ensure compliance with modern cybersecurity best practices.

4. How We Protect Your Files

When you upload a file to PDFConverterOnlineFree, it is transmitted over a secure, encrypted SSL connection. Once on our server, the file is processed by our automated tools. Human employees do not have access to your file contents except in rare cases where you explicitly request support for a specific failed conversion and grant us permission to investigate.

The "30-Minute Deletion Guarantee" is a cornerstone of our security model. Regardless of whether you download your processed file or not, our system permanently wipes the data from our storage every 30 minutes.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to know exactly what happens to your data. Since we do not require account registration for most of our tools, we don't store persistent user profiles. However, if you contact us via email, you have the right to request access to any correspondence or to request its deletion.

6. Contact Information
