Last Updated: August 13, 2025
Welcome to TapToPDF. This Privacy Policy describes how TapToPDF ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our website and services (the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Our commitment is to process your data transparently and securely. We do not store, view, or share the content of your PDF files.
1. Information We Collect
We collect two main types of information to provide and improve our service:
Information You Provide to Us
When you use our Service to perform actions on a PDF file (e.g., merge, split, compress), you upload one or more files to our servers. These files are essential for us to provide the Service you requested. We handle this data with the utmost care and security.
Automatically Collected Data
When you access our Service, our servers automatically record certain information, which may include:
- Log Data: We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service. This Log Data may include your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and to hold certain information. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. They are used to facilitate session management and to assist third-party services, such as Google Ads, in providing relevant advertisements.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our Service, including processing your uploaded PDF files and delivering the final processed files to you.
- To maintain and improve the security of our Service and our users, ensuring a reliable and secure platform.
- To analyze usage trends and gather insights for improving the performance, features, and user experience of our website.
- To display advertising to you through third-party services. This advertising revenue helps us operate the service for free.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service.
3. Data Retention and Deletion
We have a strict data retention policy for user-uploaded files:
- Temporary Storage: The PDF files you upload are stored temporarily on our servers for the duration of the processing task.
- Automatic Deletion: All uploaded files and the resulting processed files are permanently deleted from our servers shortly after the task is completed or the file is downloaded. We do not maintain any long-term archives of your documents.
4. Third-Party Services and Advertising
We use third-party services to support our operations. Our primary third-party service is Google AdSense for advertising.
- Google AdSense: Ads displayed on our website are served by Google. Google uses cookies and other technologies to collect data about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
- Managing Your Ad Preferences: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings page.
5. Data Security
The security of your data is paramount. While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we implement commercially acceptable security measures to protect your information. This includes, but is not limited to, the regular deletion of user-uploaded files, encrypted data handling, and secure access controls on our servers.
6. Your Rights
Since we do not store personal information from your PDF files, we have limited information to provide. However, you have the right to request access to and deletion of any log data that may be associated with your IP address. Please contact us to make such a request.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information from a child, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We advise you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
