Privacy Policy

Summary

Files you process

When you use a tool, the file is read from your device into your browser's memory and processed there, and the result is offered as a download. Closing or reloading the page discards everything. No copy of your file, or of its content, is sent to GreenPDFs, to our advertising partners or to anyone else.

Data we collect

We don't require an account, and we don't ask for your name, email address or documents. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request, for security, abuse prevention and reliability.

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use them only to reply to you.

Advertising and Google AdSense

GreenPDFs is free to use and is paid for by advertising. We use Google AdSense to show ads on our pages.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and to other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies lets Google and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• If personalised ads are turned off, you may still see ads, but they will be based on general factors such as the page you are reading rather than your interests.

Google explains how it uses information from sites that show its ads in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Ads are placed around the tools and never inside the files you create.

Other ways we keep the site running

Apart from AdSense, we may use other advertising networks, sponsored placements, affiliate links (where we may earn a commission if you buy something through a link, at no extra cost to you), voluntary donations or optional paid features. Any such partner may set its own cookies and handles data under its own privacy policy. We will update this page before adding a new kind of monetisation that collects data in a different way.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how many people visit, which tools they use and which pages load slowly. These tools collect usage information like pages viewed, device type, approximate location and referring website. They do not receive the content of your files.

Cookies and your choices

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. GreenPDFs itself does not need cookies to make the tools work. Our advertising and analytics partners use them as described above. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the tools will keep working if you do. Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used, and you can change that choice at any time.

Children

GreenPDFs is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Students under 18 should use the site with the knowledge of a parent or guardian.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you and to have it corrected or erased. Because we do not collect your documents or ask for account details, we usually hold no personal data beyond server logs and any emails you send us. To make a request, write to us using the details on the Contact page.

Third-party links and code

All the PDF processing libraries are served from greenpdfs.com itself. Ads, analytics scripts and links to other websites are run by third parties under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version published on this page is the one that applies. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated policy.
