Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how BrainyPDF (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit brainypdf.app and use our free online PDF tools. By using the website, you agree to the practices described here.

Summary

• Your PDF files are not uploaded. All PDF processing runs locally in your browser.
• We do not require an account to use any tool.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We use minimal cookies and local storage mainly for theme preference.

PDF files and document content

BrainyPDF processes PDF files entirely on your device using client-side JavaScript. When you use any tool — merge, split, compress, sign, protect, or otherwise — your document content is read into browser memory on your computer or mobile device and is not transmitted to BrainyPDF servers for processing.

We do not operate backend file storage, processing queues, or document retention systems for your PDFs. When you close the browser tab or clear the workspace, processed data in memory is discarded by your browser.

Information we may collect

Information you provide voluntarily

If you contact us through email or our Contact Us page, we receive the information you choose to send — such as your name, email address, and message content — so we can respond to your inquiry.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical data when you visit brainypdf.app, which can include:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages visited and referring URL
• Date and time of access

This information is used for security, abuse prevention, and understanding general site usage. It is not linked to the content of PDF files you process locally.

Cookies and local storage

BrainyPDF uses browser local storage to remember your light or dark theme preference under the key brainypdf-theme. This is a functional preference stored on your device and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

We may load fonts from Google Fonts to display the site typography. Google may collect usage data according to its own policies when fonts are requested. You can block third-party font requests in your browser if you prefer.

We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies or analytics trackers on brainypdf.app. If that changes, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notice.

How we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and tools
• Respond to support requests and feedback
• Monitor for security incidents and abusive traffic
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Our web hosting and CDN providers process server logs necessary to deliver the static site.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
• Protection of rights: We may share information to investigate fraud, security issues, or violations of our Terms & Conditions.

Because PDF processing is client-side, there is no document content to share with processing vendors.

Data retention

Server logs retained by our hosting provider are kept for a limited period consistent with security and operational needs. Emails you send us are retained as long as necessary to handle your request and maintain support records.

Children’s privacy

BrainyPDF is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

International visitors

BrainyPDF is accessible worldwide. If you visit from outside your home country, your information may be processed in jurisdictions where our hosting providers operate. By using the site, you consent to such processing as described in this policy.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@brainypdf.app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of brainypdf.app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
