Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

Your files stay on your device

All PDF and image processing on PDF Boy happens locally in your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, and we cannot see or store them.

Information we collect

We do not require an account and do not collect names, emails or other personal details. The site keeps an anonymous counter of how many PDFs have been processed; it stores only a number, not any file or user data. Your browser may store your light/dark theme choice and your cookie-consent choice in local storage.

Advertising and cookies

PDF Boy may display ads served by third-party vendors, including Google AdSense. These vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Where required (for example in the EEA and UK), ads that use cookies are shown only after you accept them in the cookie banner.

Third-party services

We load open-source libraries (pdf-lib, pdf.js, JSZip) from the cdnjs content delivery network, and the site is hosted on Cloudflare. These providers may log standard technical data such as your IP address when serving files.

Children

PDF Boy is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date above shows the latest revision.
