At PDF Reducer, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use https://pdfreducer.com/.
Information We Collect
PDF Reducer does not store your uploaded files permanently. Source uploads are removed after processing. Generated results are deleted when downloaded or when you use the delete-now control; abandoned temporary results expire after two hours and are removed by an hourly cleanup job. We may collect basic analytics data such as device type and browser details to improve website performance.
Use of Uploaded Files
All files you upload for compression or conversion are used only for processing. We never access, share, or analyze file contents manually.
Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies to improve user experience, analyze traffic, and remember tool preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website after you accept analytics. These tools may process online identifiers, device and browser information, and interaction data.
Advertising & Google AdSense
We may use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you may generally opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
For more details on how we use cookies (including advertising cookies), see our Cookie Policy.
Security
PDF Reducer uses secure HTTPS encryption to protect your uploads and browsing data. While we strive for strong security, no online service is 100% risk-free.
Data Retention
Source uploads are removed after processing. Generated results can be deleted immediately from the result screen. Temporary results that are not downloaded or deleted expire after two hours and are removed by an hourly cleanup job. We do not store logs of file contents. For deletion requests, see our Data Deletion Instructions.
Your Consent
Essential cookies support sessions and file processing. Optional analytics requires your choice in the banner; you can change it using “Privacy choices” in the footer. Advertising consent is handled separately by the advertising consent provider when ads are enabled. Using the site does not by itself grant optional tracking consent.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed.
