Overview

Short version: We process your files to provide the service. Files are deleted after 1 hour. We don't sell your data. We don't read your documents. We collect minimal data and only what's needed to keep things running.

PDFMagic ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and tools at pdfmagic.app.

By using PDFMagic, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you disagree, please do not use our services.

  • Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to prevent fraud or harm.

Cookies

  • Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (session management, security tokens).
  • Analytics cookies: Anonymous, aggregated visitor counts via privacy-friendly analytics. No cross-site tracking.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

  • Encrypted storage for any retained data
  • Isolated processing environments per user session

While we take security seriously, no system is 100% immune to breaches. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it responsibly to security@pdfmagic.app.
