Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

PortPDF ("we", "us", "our") is fundamentally a privacy-focused service. This Privacy Policy outlines our unwavering commitment to protecting your privacy. Our core principle is simple: your files are your files. We do not and cannot view, access, store, or share your documents. All PDF processing occurs entirely on your own computer, within your web browser (client-side).

1.1 The Client-Side Principle

Unlike other online PDF services, PortPDF does not upload your files to a server for processing. The tools you use are powered by JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries that run directly on your device. This means your data never leaves your computer, providing you with the highest level of privacy and security.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Because of our client-side architecture, we are technically incapable of collecting the following information:

• The content of your PDF files or any other documents you use with our tools.
• Any personal data contained within your documents.
• Filenames of your documents.
• Any derived information or metadata from your files, beyond what is necessary for the tool to function during your active session (and this is immediately discarded).

3. Information We May Collect (Non-Personal Data)

To improve our website and services, we may collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information. This type of data helps us understand how users interact with our site, which tools are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience. This includes:

• Usage Analytics: Anonymized data such as which tools are used, how often they are used, and which features are accessed. This is aggregated and cannot be tied back to an individual user or document.
• Performance Data: Anonymized error reports or performance metrics to help us identify and fix bugs. This data contains no personal information or file content.

We use privacy-respecting analytics platforms for this purpose. Specifically, we use Simple Analytics to track anonymous visit counts. This means we can see how many users visit our site, but we never collect personal information or identify individual users. Simple Analytics is fully GDPR-compliant and respects user privacy. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling.

4. Third-Party Libraries

PortPDF is built using powerful, open-source libraries like PDF-lib.js and PDF.js. These libraries are trusted by developers worldwide and operate under the same client-side principle. While we have vetted these libraries, we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for your own peace of mind.

5. Security

Since your files are never transmitted over the internet to our servers, you are protected from potential data breaches during transit or storage on a server. The security of your documents is in your hands and protected by the security of your own computer and web browser.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
