Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 31, 2026 • Effective Immediately
Temporary Server Processing and Document Privacy
At AskPDF.online, we do not store, view, copy, or sell your uploaded documents. Files are processed on our AWS-hosted infrastructure using temporary job storage. Temporary job files are removed automatically after processing. Chat with PDF extracted text may be retained for up to one hour so follow-up questions can work.
1. Information We Collect
AskPDF.online is built with maximum data minimization. Because our PDF conversion, merging, splitting, and editing operations run on our secure processing infrastructure using temporary job storage, your files are transmitted only to perform the requested operation and are automatically removed from temporary job storage after processing.
When you visit our website, standard non-personally identifiable log information (such as browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and access timestamps) may be automatically gathered by our hosting infrastructure to diagnose technical errors and ensure server uptime.
2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads on AskPDF.online based on a user’s prior visits to our site or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
3. Cookies and Web Storage
We use minimal browser localStorage only to preserve your preferences (such as tool settings or theme choices). We do not use tracking cookies to identify your personal real-world identity.
4. Privacy Rights for European Users
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), European Union citizens have rights including access, rectification, erasure, and data portability. Because we do not require account registration or store personal profiles and documents, we minimize document retention and do not require a user profile for the public tools.
5. California Privacy Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to know what personal data is collected and request deletion. AskPDF.online does not sell personal information or customer data to data brokers or any third parties.
