Privacy Policy for PDF to Markdown Converter

Introduction

Welcome to PDF to Markdown Converter (pdftomarkdown.net), the online tool designed to help you convert PDF (.pdf) documents to clean Markdown format quickly and securely. At PDF to Markdown Converter, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This privacy policy outlines how we handle information when you use our service.

Core Privacy Principle: Your Files Stay Private

Our service operates entirely within your browser. We do not upload your PDF documents to our servers. All conversion processing happens locally on your computer.

Information Collection and Use

Because the conversion process runs locally in your browser, we collect very limited information:

1. Usage Details (Analytics)

   • What We May Collect: Anonymous information about how you interact with the website (e.g., button clicks, features used) through standard web analytics tools. This data does not include the content of your documents.
   • Purpose: To understand user engagement, improve website functionality, and identify potential issues.

2. Device Information (Analytics)

   • What We May Collect: Anonymous data regarding the device and browser you use to access pdftomarkdown.net (e.g., device type, operating system, browser type).
   • Purpose: To optimize our service for different devices and ensure compatibility.

3. Cookies

   • What We May Collect: We may use cookies for essential website functionality or anonymous analytics. These cookies do not store personal information or document content.
   • Purpose: To enhance the basic functionality of our service and gather aggregated usage statistics.

We DO NOT Collect:

• Your PDF documents or their content.
• Personal identification information like your name or email address (as no account is required).
• Payment or billing information (as the service is free).

Data Storage and Security

Since your documents are processed locally and not uploaded, we do not store your document data on our servers.

Any anonymous analytics data collected is stored securely by our analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) according to their privacy policies. We implement reasonable measures to protect the website itself, but the security of your documents relies on the local processing within your browser.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any personal information to outside parties because we do not collect it in the first place.

Anonymous, aggregated analytics data may be shared with third-party services (like analytics providers) to help us understand website usage and improve the service. This data cannot be used to identify individual users or access document content. We may disclose aggregated data if required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "effective date" at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
