1. Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
- Information you give us. If you use the contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and whatever you include in your message.
- Information collected automatically. Our hosting and analytics systems record standard log data, which may include your IP address, browser, device, operating system, referring page, the pages you view and the time of your visit.
- Calculator inputs. Numbers you type into our calculators are processed in your browser to produce a result. No account is needed, and we do not store the values you enter.
2. Files you open in our PDF tools
Our PDF tools open and change your document inside your browser tab using the PDF.js and pdf-lib libraries. Your file is not uploaded to our servers, not stored by us, and is cleared when you close the tab.
Saved signatures in the Sign PDF tool are kept in your own browser’s local storage on your device. You can delete them at any time from within the tool.
