Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026. This page explains, in plain words, what happens to your files and data when you use LovePDF.

Files processed in your browser

Merge, Split, Rotate, Organize, Edit, Sign, Watermark, Page Numbers, Crop, Redact, Compare, JPG to PDF, PDF to JPG and Scan to PDF run entirely on your device. Your file is not uploaded, and we cannot see it.

Files processed on our server

Compress, OCR, Translate, Repair, Protect, Unlock, PDF/A, HTML to PDF and the Word, Excel and PowerPoint converters send your file to our server over HTTPS. The file is kept in temporary storage only for the seconds or minutes needed to process it, and it is deleted automatically as soon as your result has been delivered. We do not open, read, share or sell your documents, and we do not keep copies or backups of them. Passwords you type for Protect or Unlock are used once and never stored.

What we log

Like every website, our server records standard technical logs (IP address, time, the page or tool requested, browser type) to keep the service secure and to prevent abuse. Logs do not contain your files or their contents.

Advertising and cookies

The tools themselves work without cookies. The site is paid for by advertising: we show ads from Google AdSense around the content, never inside a tool or on your result.

Google and its partners use cookies or similar technology to serve those ads and to measure them. Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent before any such cookie is set, and you can change your choice at any time from the consent link shown on the page. You can also turn off personalised advertising for your Google account at adssettings.google.com, or read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Advertisers never receive your documents. Files processed in your browser never leave your device at all, and files sent to our server are deleted as soon as your download is ready.

We also offer optional push notifications. They only work if you tap Allow in your browser, and you can switch them off at any time in your browser settings for this site.

Your choices

If a document is highly sensitive, prefer the browser-based tools, which never upload anything. For questions, write to us through the contact page.
