Privacy Policy

PDF Workshop can be used without an account. Most of the tools available today — merging, splitting, page editing, image conversion, passwords, watermarks, e-signatures — never send your file to a server. Everything happens inside your own browser. Business details for quotes, payslips and employment contracts, and employees saved with the payslip tool's Save employee (name and fixed pay and deduction lines), are kept only when you choose to save them, in your browser's storage on your device, and are never sent to a server. You can delete them at any time from the tool or your browser settings. While you are filling in a quote, payslip or employment contract, your work in progress is kept in the same browser storage for up to 7 days in case the page is refreshed or closed by mistake, and removed once the document is made. It is never sent to a server either, and isn't saved at all while saving is switched off under “Recent”.

Features that genuinely need a server — PDF compression, text recognition for scanned PDFs, and conversion between PDF and Word, Excel or PowerPoint — may store an uploaded file temporarily so the conversion can run. Uploaded files and their results are deleted as soon as the job finishes, and anything left behind by an unexpected error is permanently deleted automatically within one hour of upload. Tools that use the server say so on their own page.

To improve the service and prevent abuse, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser information, and usage records such as pages visited and times of use. This is used only for statistical analysis and rate limiting, and is never stored in a way that links it to the contents of your files. We also count which tool was used to make a file (the tool's name only), as anonymous totals; file names and contents are never collected.

PDF Workshop may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense to keep the service free. Ad providers may use cookies to serve personalised ads, and you can refuse cookie storage through your browser settings. Google's advertising and privacy information is available at Google's advertising policies.

If you submit the contact form, we collect your message and, optionally, the reply email address you provide. Contact emails may pass through the Resend service for delivery. This information is used only to answer you and to improve the service, and is destroyed without delay once that purpose is met, except where the law requires us to retain it.

You can cancel processing at any time by stopping the upload or leaving the page. If you have questions about the service, please get in touch through the contact page.

Service enquiries are handled through the form on the Contact page or by email at seo-sang@naver.com.
