Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to PDFBy.com. We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and private PDF tools and file processing experience. This Privacy Policy outlines our strict commitment to user anonymity, explains how we handle files, and details our compliance with international privacy laws.

2. Our Core Promise: Zero Data Collection

To ensure your absolute privacy, we operate under a strict "No-Logs" policy.

No Personal Information Stored

We do not require, collect, or store any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.

No Activity Tracking

We do not track your search history, browsing habits, or IP address logs on our servers. Your digital footprint on our site remains your own.

Automatic File Deletion

All uploaded files and processed output files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 15 minutes of completion. We do not inspect, copy, or retain your files, nor do we maintain backups.

3. Global Legal Compliance

Because PDFBy.com is available worldwide, we are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws across various jurisdictions:

GDPR (Europe) & UK GDPR

We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation by minimizing data collection to zero and ensuring that any technical data processing is lawful, fair, and transparent.

CCPA (California)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, we confirm that we do not sell or share any user data with third parties.

Vietnamese Law (Decree 13/2023/ND-CP)

We comply with the Decree on Personal Data Protection, ensuring that users have full rights and transparency regarding data processing.

4. Your User Rights

Even though we collect zero personal data, we respect your fundamental data rights. If any minimal technical data is ever collected, you have the Right to Access, Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten), and Right to Data Portability. Because we do not store personal data, there is effectively nothing to delete or port, ensuring your absolute privacy by default.

5. Cookies and Technical Data

We believe in minimizing data usage while providing a fully functional website.

Essential Cookies

We may use temporary, technical cookies or LocalStorage solely to ensure the website functions correctly (e.g., remembering your preference configurations and settings). These cookies do not track your behavior and are designed to expire when you close your browsing session.

Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our site. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings, or you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Anonymous Error Tracking

To improve our service and fix bugs, we monitor anonymous client-side JavaScript errors (via our internal error tracking API). This data only includes technical details (such as browser type and error stack traces) and does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

6. Security Measures (Safety)

We prioritize the security of our platform to protect our visitors.

HTTPS Encryption

All connections to our website are secured via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) technology, ensuring that any interaction with our site is encrypted.
