Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

1. No File Uploads

Unlike other online PDF tools, The PDF Mechanic operates entirely in your browser ("client-side"). Your files are never uploaded to our servers. All processing (compression, merging, conversion) happens locally on your device.

2. Data Collection

Since we do not store your files, we do not have access to your documents, bank statements, or personal data inside your PDFs. We use basic analytics (like Google Analytics) to understand website traffic, but this does not track individual file contents.

3. Cookies

We use local storage only to remember your theme preference (Dark/Light mode). No tracking cookies are used for advertising purposes.
