At PDF Sathi, accessible from https://pdfsathi.com, protecting the privacy and security of our visitors is our highest priority. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, how it is handled, and the measures we take to ensure your personal data and documents remain completely safe while using our online PDF utilities.
If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding our privacy practices, please feel free to reach out to us via email at support@pdfsathi.com.
1. Document Privacy & Browser-Based Processing
PDF Sathi is designed with a privacy-first architecture. Unlike traditional online file conversion platforms that require users to upload their documents to external cloud servers, all tools on PDF Sathi run locally within your web browser (client-side processing).
- Zero Server File Storage — Your files, images, and documents are never uploaded, transmitted, or stored on our web servers.
- Local Device Execution — All operations, including merging, splitting, compressing, converting, or editing PDFs, are processed using your device's local memory (RAM) and browser processing engines.
- Immediate Data Destruction — Because no files leave your computer or mobile device, closing or refreshing your browser window permanently clears all active data. Neither PDF Sathi nor any third party ever gains access to your private files.
2. Information We Collect (Non-Personal Data)
Since PDF Sathi does not require account registration, user logins, or subscriptions, we do not collect personal identification details such as your full name, physical address, or phone number. However, like most standard web services, we collect non-personally identifiable technical information automatically.
Log Files: PDF Sathi follows standard log file procedures. The information recorded in log files includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type and version
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Date and time stamps
- Referring/exit pages and click counts
This information is used strictly to analyze general user trends, manage website traffic, track technical performance, and prevent server abuse. None of this log data is linked to personally identifiable information.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
PDF Sathi uses basic cookies to enhance user experience, remember basic interface preferences, and analyze site performance.
- Essential Cookies — Temporary cookies necessary to ensure smooth navigation and functional browser tool execution.
- Analytics Cookies — Aggregated, anonymous visitor data used to help us understand which PDF tools are most frequently accessed.
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may slightly affect how certain web features function.
4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense
To keep our browser-based PDF tools 100% free for all users, we rely on third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdSense, to serve advertisements on our site.
- DART Cookies — Google uses cookies, including DART cookies, to serve targeted ads to users based on their visits to PDF Sathi and other websites across the Internet.
- Opt-Out Options — Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or by managing cookie choices via the Network Advertising Initiative.
- Third-Party Vendors — Third-party ad networks or ad servers use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements to measure campaign effectiveness and personalize ad content. PDF Sathi has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers.
5. Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
We respect your privacy rights under global data protection laws, including the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
- Right to Access & Deletion — Because PDF Sathi does not retain, store, or profile user identities or file contents on server databases, we do not hold personal data files to retrieve or erase.
- Do Not Sell My Personal Information — PDF Sathi does not collect, rent, or sell user personal data to any third party.
6. Children's Privacy Protection
Protecting the privacy of young children on the internet is extremely important to us. PDF Sathi does not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. Since our site operates without user sign-ups or personal input forms, parents and guardians can rest assured that children can safely utilize our online tools without sharing sensitive information.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect site updates, technology changes, or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage visitors to review this page occasionally to stay informed.
8. Consent
