Welcome to our PDFVeda website. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data when you use our services.

1. The Core Principle: Your Files are Yours

Our most important privacy feature is simple: **we do not upload, store, or access your files.** All the processing for our PDF tools (such as merging, splitting, and converting) happens directly on your computer, within your web browser. Your files never leave your device.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

**Your Files and Content:** We do not see, copy, or store the PDFs or other files you work with.
**Personal Information:** We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information like your name, email address, or other contact details to use our free tools.

3. Information We Collect (Non-Personal Data)

To improve our website and understand how it's used, we may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data. This includes:

**Website Analytics:** Information about your visit, such as which pages you viewed, how long you spent on the site, and which tools are most popular. This data is collected through privacy-respecting analytics services and does not identify you personally.
**Technical Information:** Your browser type, operating system, and screen resolution. This helps us ensure our website works correctly across all devices.

4. Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies to help improve your experience. These cookies are used for basic website functionality and analytics. They do not track you across other websites and do not store any personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics with anonymized IP settings) and to display advertisements. These third parties may use cookies to collect non-personal data. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
