Privacy Policy

1. Our Core Promise

The fundamental architectural design of GoluPDFs is simple: **We do not collect, view, process, store, or transmit any document files you import.**

Every single tool on this website (such as compress, convert, merge, visual organize, redact, or sign PDFs) executes entirely in your browser using local client-side Javascript and WebAssembly scripts. The files do not travel across the internet, ensuring an absolute buffer against data security breaches.

2. What We Do Collect

To keep our platform secure, highly performant, and completely free, we collect limited, non-identifying technical usage data:

• Anonymous Aggregate Metrics: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with strict IP anonymization to track aggregate metrics like page views, tool run counts, and average interaction times.
• Anonymous Error Reporting: In the event of a client-side execution crash, we receive anonymous telemetry logging the technical script error so we can fix bugs quickly.
• Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary cookies are utilized for storing theme preferences (light/dark mode) and security verification (for administrator access dashboards). If Google AdSense is enabled, cookies are used for aggregate ad personalization metrics.

3. What We Never Collect

Our system is programmed with a hardware-level data barrier. Under no circumstances do we ever collect, access, or share:

• The textual or visual content of your uploaded PDFs, images, or input datasets.
• Original filenames, extensions, metadata, or document authors.
• Personally identifiable data (such as emails or physical addresses) from anonymous visitors using our tools.
• Real-time IP addresses (all traffic logs are anonymized immediately at the server gateway).

4. Third-Party Services

To keep GoluPDFs hosted on premium servers globally, we utilize high-fidelity services that conform to data safety standards:

• Hosting Infrastructure: Vercel hosting platform processes public page routing under advanced security protocols.
• Database Storage: Supabase stores secure metadata logs, system telemetry, and optional feedback submitted directly by users.
• Advertising: Google AdSense serves personalized or contextual advertising blocks to keep our premium toolset 100% free for everyone.

5. International Compliance (GDPR, CCPA & COPPA)

Even though we operate globally from Bihar, India, we strictly comply with all major data protection frameworks:

• GDPR (Europe): The data controller for anonymous visitors using the tools is GoluPDFs. Because no personal data is uploaded, processed, or held by us, no data processing agreement is required for individual PDF operations.
• CCPA (California): GoluPDFs does not sell, lease, or rent any of your personal information to third-party data aggregators.
• COPPA (Children): Our website is built for visitors of all age groups, including students. Because we collect zero private personal data, our system matches the COPPA child privacy guidelines perfectly.

6. Your Data Rights & Support

You have the right to inspect, limit, or delete any data we possess relating to you. If you have submitted feedback, comments, or technical bug logs and wish to delete them permanently from our systems, please contact Golu Kumar directly at:

Email: lgdemon402lkr@gmail.com

All deletion and compliance requests are resolved in less than 24 to 48 business hours.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect enhancements to our client-side WebAssembly tools or security configurations. Any material changes will be actively updated on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
