Privacy Policy

At PDFEditor (operated by Bestami Caner Kınalı), your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information when you use our Service at pdfius.com.

1. Your PDF Files Stay Private

The majority of PDF operations are performed entirely within your web browser. Editing, annotating, signing, merging, splitting, rotating, converting between PDF and JPG, adding watermarks, and adding page numbers all happen client-side. Your files remain on your device during these operations.

2. Server-Side Processing

Certain features — specifically PDF compression and PDF unlocking — require your file to be temporarily sent to our servers for processing. Files are processed immediately and are not stored on our servers after the operation is complete.

3. Data We Collect

We collect minimal personal data, limited to:

• Email address: Collected during account registration for subscription management, account recovery, and essential service communications.
• Payment information: Handled entirely by LemonSqueezy, our third-party payment processor. We do not store your credit card details or financial information on our servers.
• Usage analytics: We use PostHog for basic analytics to understand how users interact with our Service and to improve our offering. PostHog can operate in cookie-free mode, and we do not track individual user behavior in a personally identifiable way.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• Manage your account and subscription.
• Send you essential service-related communications (e.g., billing receipts, subscription updates).
• Analyze usage patterns to improve the user experience.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

• LemonSqueezy: Payment processing and subscription management.
• PostHog: Privacy-focused product analytics.

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address and account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it for a longer period.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Portability: Request your data in a portable format.
• Objection: Object to the processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@pdfius.com.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

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