Privacy Policy

1. Contact

For privacy questions, data access requests, deletion requests, or billing-related data questions, contact support@localpdf.online.

2. What LocalPDF does

LocalPDF is a local-first PDF product. Many core document actions are designed to run in the browser rather than through an upload-first workflow. However, the website still uses normal web infrastructure, and some product functions rely on external services such as payment processing, analytics, hosting, and license validation.

Because of that, LocalPDF should not be understood as “collects nothing.” Instead, we aim to keep data collection limited, practical, and aligned with the actual product behavior.

3. Data we may process

• Billing data: purchase records, subscription status, transaction metadata, and license-related identifiers processed through LemonSqueezy.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, page requests, timestamps, referrers, and basic server logs.
• Analytics data: usage events and website behavior if analytics tools are enabled.
• Support data: messages you send to us, including your email address and any information you choose to include.
• License restore data: submitted license keys, validation responses, and related anti-abuse or rate-limit metadata.
• Local storage data: browser-side tokens or settings required to remember your billing state or product preferences.

4. Document handling

Many LocalPDF workflows are built around local browser processing. That means documents do not always need to be uploaded to a remote processing backend just to begin a task.

Still, you should not assume that every part of the broader site experience is entirely local. Billing, analytics, restore requests, support, and normal web hosting can involve network requests and third-party processors.

5. Why we process data

• To operate, secure, and improve the website and app
• To process payments and manage subscriptions
• To restore and validate Pro access
• To prevent abuse, fraud, and technical misuse
• To understand product usage and improve user experience
• To respond to support requests and legal obligations

6. Third-party services

LocalPDF may use third-party providers, including categories such as:

• Payments and subscriptions: LemonSqueezy
• Analytics and measurement: tools such as Google Analytics, PostHog, or Vercel Analytics when enabled
• Hosting and delivery: website hosting, CDN, and infrastructure providers

These providers may process personal data according to their own policies and contractual roles.

7. Cookies, analytics, and local storage

The website and app may use cookies, local storage, or similar browser technologies to support analytics, billing state, feature behavior, and basic site functionality.

If analytics tooling is enabled, your interactions with the site may be measured in aggregate or event form to help improve the product.

8. Data retention

We retain data for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and support billing records. Different categories of data may be retained for different periods depending on legal, operational, and security needs.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal data. To make a request, email support@localpdf.online.

10. International processing

LocalPDF and its providers may process data in multiple countries depending on hosting, payment, and analytics infrastructure. By using the service, you understand that data may be processed outside your home jurisdiction.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
