Privacy Policy

Who operates this website

SmallPDF Tools is operated by Muzamil Ahad as an individual publisher. The default public region is Jammu and Kashmir, India. The website does not publish a public street address.

For privacy questions, corrections, or data requests, contact us at rjmuzu1@gmail.com.

Information we collect

The information collected depends on how you use the site. Basic website use may create standard server logs, browser details, device information, page URLs, dates and times, and error records. If you contact us, we receive the information you include in your message.

PDF tool pages may temporarily receive files you upload for processing. Upload fields are designed to validate file type and file size, reject executable uploads, use sanitized filenames, and keep processing paths away from public indexing.

Uploaded PDF files and temporary processing

PDF files can contain personal, business, financial, legal, or private information. For that reason, the platform is designed around temporary processing, automatic cleanup, and clear privacy messaging near upload workflows.

• Uploaded files should be used only for the tool action requested by the user.
• Processed output files should be stored temporarily so users can download the result.
• Old uploaded and processed files should be automatically deleted after the configured retention window.
• Upload and processed directories are blocked in robots.txt and should not appear in the public sitemap.
• Users should avoid uploading files they do not own or do not have permission to modify.

Cookies and local preferences

The site may use essential cookies or browser storage for security, cookie consent, dark mode, interface preferences, session protection, and basic tool state. These help the website function correctly and remember simple choices.

For a detailed breakdown, read the Cookie Policy.

Google Analytics and measurement

The site may use Google Analytics or similar privacy-conscious measurement tools after the correct property IDs and consent settings are configured. Analytics helps understand which pages are useful, which pages are slow, and which devices need layout improvements.

Analytics should not be used to collect the content of uploaded PDF files. It may collect aggregated usage details such as page views, device category, browser type, approximate region, and referral source.

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

This policy includes advertising disclosures because the site may apply for Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, measure ad performance, and personalize ads where allowed by user settings and applicable law.

AdSense scripts and ad slots should not be added until the site is approved and configured with real publisher details. When ads are active, users can manage ad personalization through Google ad settings and browser cookie controls.

How information is used

When information may be shared

Information may be processed by hosting providers, analytics services, security tools, email providers, or advertising partners if those services are configured. Information may also be shared when required to protect the website, comply with law, investigate abuse, or respond to valid legal requests.

Uploaded PDF content is not sold. The platform should not use uploaded PDF files for advertising targeting or public content generation.

Your choices and requests

• You can decline non-essential cookies through the cookie banner where available.
• You can delete browser cookies and local storage through your browser settings.
• You can avoid uploading sensitive files or remove personal details before testing a tool.
• You can contact us to request review, correction, or deletion of information you provided directly.
• You can use Google account and browser controls to manage ad personalization.

Children's privacy

SmallPDF Tools is not directed to children under 13 and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the request.

Policy updates

This policy may be updated as new tools, analytics settings, advertising settings, hosting changes, or legal requirements are added. The latest update date is shown near the top of this page.
