Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Welcome to PDFlyst. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and free online PDF tools.

1. Information We Collect

When you use PDFlyst, we prioritize keeping your data processing strictly functional. The information we interact with includes:

• Uploaded Files: We process your files solely for the purpose of fulfilling your requested tool operations (such as converting, merging, or compressing).
• Log Data: Like many websites, we may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit PDFlyst. This may include your computer's IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages.

2. How We Process Your Files

PDFlyst provides tools that edit and convert your documents. To handle these requests:

• Local Processing: Many of our tools (such as formatting or merging PDFs) are processed securely on our servers without sharing files externally.
• Third-Party Processing: For complex conversions, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to PDF, we utilize trusted third-party APIs like ConvertAPI as an alternative to local software (e.g., LibreOffice). When using these specific tools, your files are securely transmitted to these partners strictly for the conversion process.

3. File Security and Data Retention

Security and confidentiality are our highest priorities. All file interactions are governed by strict data retention practices:

• All files are transmitted via secure SSL encryption.
• Your files are automatically deleted from our servers and third-party partner systems shortly after processing is complete using automatic cleanup routines.
• We do not access, review, copy, or share your documents with any unauthorized third parties.

4. Third-Party Services and Analytics

In addition to processing partners, we use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to monitor and analyze the use of our service. These services have their own Privacy Policies addressing how they use such information.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your user experience, track website performance, and for website analytics. By continuing to use PDFlyst, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

6. Links to Other Sites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
