Privacy Policy

Overview

PDFStick ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Short version: We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the images you convert. Your files are processed locally on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your image files — they never leave your device
• The contents of any file you upload
• Your name, email, or personal information (no account required)
• Payment information (PDFStick is free)

Information We May Collect

Like most websites, we may collect standard analytics data including:

• Pages visited and time spent on the site (via Google Analytics, anonymized)
• Browser type and operating system (aggregated, not personally identifiable)
• Referring website (how you found us)
• General geographic region (country-level only)

This data is collected only if you consent via our cookie banner and is used solely to improve the site. We do not sell or share this data with third parties for advertising purposes.

Cookies

We use the following cookies:

• pp-theme — Stores your dark/light theme preference. Not shared.
• pp_cookie_consent — Records your cookie consent choice.
• Google Analytics — Anonymous usage statistics (only if you consent).

Third-Party Services

PDFStick uses the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — Anonymous traffic analytics (consent required)

Your Rights

Under GDPR and other applicable laws, you have the right to:

• Withdraw cookie consent at any time via the preferences link in the cookie banner
• Request deletion of any data we hold about you
• Contact us with any privacy-related questions

Data Security

Because your files are processed locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers, the security of your files depends only on the security of your own device. We do not store, cache, or log any file contents.

Children's Privacy

PDFStick is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
