Privacy Policy

Your document privacy is our priority. Learn how PDF Wizard handles your data securely.

Effective Date: January 31, 2026

PDF Wizard respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use the pdf-wizard.com website and our free online PDF tools.

1. Information We Collect

Uploaded Files

When you upload PDF files to use our tools (such as merge, compress, split, or convert), those files are processed automatically on our secure servers to perform the requested operation.

  • Files are never reviewed by humans: The entire process is automated.
  • Files are used only for the requested operation: We do not analyze or “scrape” your content.
  • No Data Sale: PDF Wizard does not sell, rent, or trade your documents or personal data to third parties.

Automatically Collected Data

We may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, anonymized IP addresses, and general usage statistics to ensure site stability.

2. Data Retention & Deletion

All uploaded files and processed outputs are permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. We do not maintain backups or archives of user-uploaded documents. Once the session or retention period expires, your files are gone forever.

3. Cookies and Analytics

PDF Wizard uses cookies to improve site performance and understand how users interact with our tools. These cookies help us maintain your session while you process multiple files. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.

4. Advertising

We may display advertisements from third-party networks like Google. These providers may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. For more information, you can visit the Google advertising privacy policies.

5. Global Privacy Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)

We strive to provide a high standard of privacy globally:

  • GDPR (Europe): We process data as a Data Processor. Our lawful basis for processing is the provision of the service you requested.
  • CCPA (California): We do not “sell” your personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.

6. Data Security

We employ industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards (including SSL encryption) to protect your information during transmission. While we take every precaution, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
