Introduction
Welcome to WeWantPDF ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible at www.wewantpdf.com. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services (collectively, the "Services").
If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [contact@wewantpdf.com - REPLACE THIS].
Information We Collect
Client-Side Processing & File Handling: For many of our core PDF tools (like image to PDF, PDF to image, PDF merger, PDF compressor, and other upcoming tools), file processing occurs directly within your web browser. This means that the files you select for these operations are NOT uploaded to our servers. They remain on your computer, ensuring a high level of privacy and security for your documents. We do not store or have access to the content of files processed by these client-side tools.
Account Information (Optional): If you choose to create an account for features like the Admin Panel (if available and used), we collect the information you provide, such as your email address and password (which is hashed and never stored in plain text). This is managed through Firebase Authentication.
Usage Data (Analytics): We may collect anonymous usage data through standard web analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand how our Services are used and to improve them. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. This includes information such as your IP address (often anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps.
Conversion Logs (Client-Side for Admin Panel): The admin panel, if accessed, may display conversion logs. These logs are stored locally in your browser's localStorage and are not transmitted to our servers. They expire automatically (e.g., after 1 hour) and are specific to your browser session.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
- To provide, operate, and maintain our Services.
- To improve, personalize, and expand our Services based on user interaction and feedback.
- To understand and analyze how you use our Services for troubleshooting and feature development.
- To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
- For account management (if you create an account) and to communicate with you if necessary.
- To monitor the security of our Services and prevent fraud.
Data Security and File Safety
We prioritize your file safety. As stated, most file processing is done client-side. For any features that might require server interaction in the future, we will implement appropriate security measures. We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect any personal information we might store (like account details). While we have taken reasonable steps, please be aware that no security measures are perfect, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse.
File Deletion: Since files for core tools are processed client-side, they are not stored by us and therefore do not require deletion from our servers. Any temporary data created in your browser (like Blob URLs for downloads) is typically cleared when you close your browser tab or as per browser behavior.
Third-Party Services
We use Firebase for authentication services if you create an account. Firebase has its own privacy policy which you can review on their website. We use Google Analytics for website traffic analysis; Google also has its own privacy policy. We do not share your personal account information with other third parties except as necessary to provide our services or as required by law.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information for analytics and site functionality. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
