Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PdfMind.io ("we", "us", "the Service") handles information when you use our website and tools. We are based in Cyprus (European Union) and follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Cyprus law.

The short version. Most of our tools run entirely inside your own web browser — your files never reach us. A small number of conversion tools need to process your file on our server; when they do, your file is converted and then deleted immediately. We do not sell your data, we do not require an account, and we keep data collection to a minimum.

1. Who is responsible for your data (Data Controller)

The data controller for this Service is:

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at the email above.

2. The data we process, and why

a) Files you use with our in-browser tools

The majority of our tools (for example merge, split, compress, rotate, crop, sign, add text, make fillable, page numbers, watermark, image ↔ PDF and unlock) run entirely in your browser. The files you open with these tools are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to us. We never see them, store them, or have any access to them.

b) Files you use with our conversion tools

A small number of tools cannot run in the browser and need a server: Word/Excel/PowerPoint conversions (to and from PDF) and password-protection. When you use one of these, your file is uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our processing server, converted, and the result is returned to you. Your uploaded file and the result are then deleted immediately after the conversion completes. We do not keep them, back them up, read their contents, or use them for any other purpose.

Please note that a file you upload may itself contain personal data (for example a CV or a form). Because the file is deleted right after processing, we do not retain that data.

c) Technical information

Like virtually all websites, our hosting and server providers automatically process limited technical data needed to deliver and secure the Service — such as your IP address, browser type, and the date/time of requests. This is used only to operate the site, prevent abuse, and keep it secure, and is not used to identify you personally or build a profile.

d) Accounts, newsletters, analytics

We do not offer user accounts, we do not run a newsletter, and we currently do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers. If this changes in future (see the Cookies section), we will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

3. Legal bases for processing (GDPR Article 6)

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The Service does not set advertising or tracking cookies, and currently uses no non-essential cookies.

If we later introduce analytics or advertising (for example, advertising to help keep the Service free), those providers may use cookies. In that case we will display a cookie-consent banner and only enable non-essential cookies after you agree, as required by the EU ePrivacy rules and GDPR.

5. Service providers (processors) and third parties

We rely on a few trusted providers to run the Service. They process data on our behalf, only as needed:

6. International transfers

Some of the providers above are international companies and may process limited technical data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where that happens, such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards recognised under the GDPR (for example the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. How long we keep data

8. Your rights under the GDPR

You have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have it corrected or erased; restrict or object to its processing; and receive it in a portable format. Because we store almost no personal data and delete uploaded files immediately, in most cases there is little or nothing for us to act on — but you are welcome to contact us at info@pdfmind.io to exercise any of these rights.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. In Cyprus this is the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (Γραφείο Επιτρόπου Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα).

9. Children

The Service is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. If you are below the age of digital consent that applies in your country, please use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

10. Security

We use encrypted (HTTPS) connections throughout, process conversion files only transiently, and delete them immediately afterwards. No method of transmission or processing is ever completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice.
