Privacy Policy & Data Protection
Learn how Good PDF Tools handles uploaded files, browser-based processing, account data, and site activity.
1. How Tools Process Files
Processing depends on the selected tool. Some tools work in your browser; server-side tools receive uploaded content to perform the requested operation. Some server operations create temporary files on disk. Review the tool information before uploading sensitive documents.
2. HTTPS and File Transfers
Connections to goodpdftools.com use HTTPS while data is transferred between your browser and the site. HTTPS protects data in transit; it does not mean that server-side processing happens only in browser memory.
3. Temporary File Cleanup
Application code attempts to remove temporary files when server-side processing completes. We do not promise a universal deletion deadline or guarantee cleanup if an operation or server is interrupted.
4. Cookies, Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
To keep Good PDF Tools 100% free and accessible to millions of users worldwide, we partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve relevant advertisements based on your prior visits to our website or other sites across the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
5. Privacy Requests
If you have a question or request about personal information, contact us through the feedback channel. Applicable rights and requirements depend on your location and circumstances; this page does not claim certification or legal compliance status.
6. Infrastructure and Access
Server-side tools process uploaded files on our infrastructure. For questions about access controls or a particular processing flow, contact us before uploading sensitive material.
7. Client-Side Browser Security and No Permanent Storage
Many of our utilities (such as PDF page rotation, page re-ordering, and client-side rendering) operate locally in your web browser utilizing WebAssembly and modern HTML5 canvas technology. This ensures that sensitive documents never leave your personal workstation or laptop computer whenever client-side processing is supported.
8. Browser Sessions and Requests
Closing a browser tab ends the local session but does not itself guarantee deletion of data already sent to a server. Contact us with privacy requests; do not include the document contents in your message.
9. Privacy Policy Updates and Contact Information
We periodically review and update this privacy policy to reflect new security features, browser capabilities, or legal requirements. If you have questions or concerns regarding our privacy and data protection policies, please contact us through our dedicated user feedback channel.
