📄 Privacy Policy – Your Privacy Matters at PDF Vino

Last updated: July 2025

At PDF Vino, we value your trust. That’s why we’ve made privacy and transparency the foundation of our service. Whether you're compressing a PDF, converting a Word file, or transforming images—all without installing any software—your data stays safe, private, and in your control.

This Privacy Policy outlines what we do (and don’t do) with your information when you visit https://pdfvino.blogspot.com.

🛡️ Our Core Privacy Commitments

  • ✅ No file uploads to our server – Most tools are 100% client-side

  • ✅ No registration required – You can use all tools without creating an account

  • ✅ No sales of your data – Ever

  • ✅ Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, IT Rules (India)

  • ✅ Clear and simple policy written for humans, not just lawyers

📘 Who We Are

PDF Vino (https://pdfvino.blogspot.com) is a collection of free, browser-based PDF and image tools built for simplicity, speed, and security. We do not operate as a business that collects user data for sale. This site is hosted via Google Blogger, and any tools are powered by JavaScript-based processing on your own device.

If you have questions about our Privacy Policy, email us directly at:
📩 vinoaitools@gmail.com

🔍 What Information We Collect (And Why)

We collect very limited information, and only for functionality and analytics purposes. Here's a breakdown:

1. ✅ Files You Upload (PDF, JPG, PNG, etc.)

  • We do NOT store, log, or access your files.

  • Most tools run entirely within your browser (client-side), meaning:

    • Your files never leave your device

    • No cloud storage is used

    • Files are processed locally and deleted when you close the tab

🔒 Your uploaded files are not seen or saved by us—period.

2. ✅ Basic Technical Data (via Analytics)

To understand how our tools are used and improve performance, we may collect:

  • IP address (anonymized)

  • Browser type and version

  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

  • Operating system

  • Pages viewed

  • Approximate location (country-level)

Why?

  • To measure page visits, tool usage, and improve UI

  • To fix errors and ensure fast loading

  • To block potential abuse or bot traffic

📊 We use privacy-respecting analytics (like Google Analytics with IP anonymization or Plausible/Cloudflare) that comply with GDPR/CCPA.

3. ✅ Contact Form Submissions

If you use our contact form:

  • We collect: Your name, email, subject, and message

  • Purpose: To respond to your query, feature request, bug report, or DMCA notice

We do not use your email for marketing unless you request it (e.g., newsletter subscription coming soon).

  • ❌ No passwords

  • ❌ No login credentials

  • ❌ No payment/banking info (we don’t sell anything)

  • ❌ No document content indexing

  • ❌ No personally identifying file data (e.g., file names, contents, metadata)

🍪 Do We Use Cookies?

Yes, but only essential or anonymous cookies for:

  • Keeping the Blogger platform functional

  • Anonymous traffic analysis (Google Analytics or similar)

  • Caching pages for faster load times

  • Protecting against spam (Google reCAPTCHA, if enabled)

We do not use cookies for tracking users across websites. There are no advertising cookies set by us.

🔎 You can disable cookies via your browser settings at any time.

🔐 How We Protect Your Data

Although we store almost no data ourselves, we still follow best practices for security, including:

  • HTTPS encryption (SSL) for all traffic

  • No external file storage = minimal risk

  • No third-party data processors (except Google/Blogger)

  • Anti-spam measures to prevent abuse via contact forms

We rely on Google infrastructure, which includes advanced security features like DDoS protection, sandboxing, and more.
