Privacy Policy for GoWithPDF.com: Your Data, Your Control

At GoWithPDF.com, your privacy is our top priority. We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring a secure and transparent experience as you use our free online tools. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data when you visit and use our website.

Our Unwavering Commitment to Your Privacy: We understand the sensitivity of the documents and information you process using online tools. Our core principle is data minimization and maximum user control. We’ve designed GoWithPDF.com with privacy at its forefront.

The GoWithPDF.com Difference: We Do NOT Store Your Files on Our Servers!Unlike many other online tools, GoWithPDF.com is engineered for your privacy:

• Client-Side Processing: For most of our core tools (e.g., PDF splitting, merging, compression, image conversions, text analysis, secret key generation), all file processing happens directly in your own web browser. Your files or data never leave your computer and are not uploaded to our servers for processing. This means your sensitive documents remain entirely on your device, offering unparalleled privacy and security.
• No File Storage: We do not store any of your uploaded files or processed data on our servers. Once you close your browser or navigate away from the page, the data is removed from your browser’s temporary memory.

Data We May Collect (Non-Personal & Minimal):While we don’t store your files, like most websites, we collect limited, non-personally identifiable information to understand how our site is used and to improve your experience:

• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous data related to how you interact with our website, such as pages visited, tools used, time spent on pages, and basic browser information (type, version). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
• Technical Data: We might gather anonymous technical information about your device (e.g., operating system) to ensure compatibility and optimize our service.

How We Use Collected Data:The minimal, non-personal data we collect is used solely for:

• Improving Our Services: To understand which tools are most popular, identify areas for enhancement, and optimize website performance.
• Troubleshooting: To diagnose and fix technical issues, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Cookies:GoWithPDF.com may use essential cookies to make the website function correctly (e.g., session management). We may also use non-essential cookies for anonymous analytics (e.g., Google Analytics). These cookies help us understand website traffic and user behavior without identifying individuals. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services:We may use third-party services (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us analyze website usage. These services may collect and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We ensure that any third-party services we use adhere to high standards of data protection and do not involve the storage of your sensitive files or personally identifiable information on our behalf.

Data Security:Given our client-side processing model, the primary security of your files rests on your own device and browser security. For any minimal data that might pass through our servers (e.g., for certain specific tools that require server interaction for complex tasks, clearly outlined when you use them), we employ industry-standard security measures, including TLS encryption, to protect data in transit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy:We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.

Contact Us:If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please do not hesitate to contact us.
