Privacy Policy for pdfedit.in

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically.

1.1 Information you provide

• Account & Contact Info: If you sign up or contact support, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
• Files you upload: PDFs and other documents you upload to use the service. (See "How we handle uploaded files" below.)
• Payment information: If you purchase a paid plan we collect payment details via third-party payment processors — we do not store raw card data on our servers.

1.2 Information collected automatically

• Usage data: Pages visited, features used, timestamps, IP address, browser type, device information, and other analytics data.
• Cookies & similar technologies: Small files stored on your device that help with session management, preferences, analytics, and improving our product.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the PDF editing service.
• To process uploads and edits, and deliver files back to you.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud.
• To analyze and improve our services (analytics and product development).
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

• Service providers: We share data with vendors who help us provide the service (hosting, analytics, email, payments). We require these providers to protect your data.
• Legal requests: We may disclose information to comply with laws, legal processes, or to protect rights, property, or safety.
• Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. How We Handle Uploaded Files

Files you upload (PDFs or other documents) are necessary for the service to work. By default:

• Files are processed on our servers and deleted automatically according to the retention schedule below.
• We do not index, sell, or use the contents of your files for advertising.
• If you explicitly opt into additional features (for example, cloud storage, sharing, or team collaboration), your files may be stored longer to enable those features — we will ask for consent before enabling such features.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

• Uploaded files: Deleted automatically after 30 days by default (unless you choose otherwise or use a paid account with different retention settings).
• Account data & logs: Retained for as long as needed for service operation and legal compliance, generally up to 2 years after account closure unless required otherwise by law.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for session management, security, analytics, and to remember preferences. You can control cookie preferences in your browser and opt out of certain tracking via the methods described in our cookie banner.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — if you believe your account was compromised, contact us immediately.

8. International Transfers

pdfedit.in operates from servers which may be located in multiple countries. By using the service, you consent to transfer and storage of your information in countries which may have different data protection laws than your country.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Below are common options:

• Access & correction: You can request a copy of personal data we hold about you and ask that we correct inaccuracies.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your account and associated personal data (subject to retained backups and legal obligations).
• Portability: Request a machine-readable copy of certain data you provided to us.
• Opt-out of marketing: You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any marketing message or by contacting us.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@pdfedit.in. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

10. Children

Our service is not intended for children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information about a child, contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

11. Third-Party Links & Services

Our service may contain links to third-party websites or integrate third-party services (e.g., payment processors, analytics). This Policy does not apply to those third parties — review their privacy policies before using them.

12. GDPR, CCPA & Other Local Laws

We aim to comply with applicable privacy laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Specific rights and remedies vary by jurisdiction — contact us for details about how your local law applies.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice on the site or via email. The "Effective date" at the top indicates when this version became active.
