Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 June 2026
Who we are
pdfly is a free online toolkit for working with PDF files, available at pdfly.work. For any privacy question you can reach us at alexius.sayco.academia@gmail.com.
Files you upload
When you use a tool that needs a file, that file is uploaded to our server only to perform the operation you requested (compress, merge, split, edit, etc.). Processed files are stored temporarily and automatically deleted a short time after your session, typically within an hour. We do not read, share, sell, or retain the contents of your files, and we do not use them for any purpose other than producing your requested output.
Information we collect
We do not require accounts and we do not ask for personal information. Our server keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. Third parties listed below may collect additional data as described in their own policies.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads, which helps keep pdfly free. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Your choices
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the core PDF tools, which work without them.
Children
pdfly is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
