Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how TextToPDF collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit texttopdf.net or use our document tools. The policy applies to the homepage, tool pages, blog pages, legal pages, contact forms, support communication, and any related service made available through the site.

TextToPDF is built around document conversion and text extraction. That means privacy is not a side issue. It is part of how the product works. This page explains what information we receive, why we receive it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways depending on how you use the site.

Information you provide directly

You may give us information when you paste text into the editor, upload a file, send an email to our support team, or contact us about business access. That information can include the document content itself, the file name, your email address, and anything else you choose to include in your message.

Information collected automatically

When you open the site, our servers may receive technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, request time, referring page, requested page, and basic diagnostic details. This information is used for site security, abuse prevention, debugging, and service monitoring.

Browser stored information

Some parts of the site may store temporary information in your browser to improve the editing experience. For example, the Text to PDF editor may save draft content in local storage so your work is still there if you refresh the page before downloading the file.

How Document Processing Works

TextToPDF offers text to PDF conversion, PDF to text extraction, and scanned PDF processing. Each tool works a little differently, and that affects how files are handled.

Text to PDF

When you paste text or upload a text file, the service uses that content to create a PDF file for download. The content is processed during the active request. Draft content may also remain in your own browser through local storage until you clear it or replace it.

PDF to Text

When you upload a searchable PDF, the service reads the text already present in the file and returns that text as output. The file is processed for the purpose of extraction and is not treated as content that we publish, sell, or claim ownership over.

Scanned PDF to Text and OCR

When you upload a scanned document, screenshot, or image based PDF, the file may pass through temporary cloud storage and OCR processing infrastructure so the text can be read from the image. OCR jobs may involve short term storage while the job is running and while the result is being returned to you.

How We Use Information

We use information only for product operation, security, support, and maintenance. Typical uses include processing uploaded documents, delivering converted files, replying to support requests, detecting abuse, fixing errors, reviewing performance problems, and improving the service.

Legal Basis and Consent

When required by applicable law, we rely on one or more legal grounds to process information. These may include your consent, our need to provide the service you requested, our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and stable, and our need to comply with legal duties.

Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected for. Retention can vary depending on the type of data.

Uploaded documents and generated outputs

Text and files used for conversion are meant to be temporary. Some jobs are handled during the live request. Some OCR related jobs may use short term cloud storage while processing is underway. Temporary files and job data are removed after the task is complete or after a short internal retention period used for delivery, error handling, and cleanup.

Support messages

If you contact us by email, we may keep that message for as long as needed to reply, follow up on the issue, maintain records of product support, and protect the service from misuse.

Logs and security records

System logs may be kept for a limited period for security, uptime monitoring, debugging, and abuse detection. The exact retention time can change based on operational and legal needs.

Cookies and Browser Storage

TextToPDF does not present itself as an advertising platform. We do not run the site around ad targeting profiles. The service may still use browser based storage and other technical methods that are needed for core functions such as session behavior, draft recovery, and performance support.

You can usually control local storage, cookies, and similar browser data through your browser settings. If you clear browser storage, some saved drafts or temporary preferences may no longer be available.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your uploaded documents or personal information. We may share information only in limited cases where sharing is needed to run the service or comply with legal duties.

Service providers

We may use trusted infrastructure and software providers for cloud hosting, storage, background processing, email delivery, security, and monitoring. Those providers may process information only as needed to perform services for us.

Legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information if we believe the disclosure is required by law, court order, legal request, or a good faith need to protect users, the public, or the service itself.

Business changes

If TextToPDF is involved in a merger, sale, financing event, restructuring, or transfer of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and operational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss. These safeguards may include encrypted transport, access controls, temporary storage controls, and system monitoring.

No internet service can promise absolute security. For that reason, you should avoid uploading highly sensitive documents unless you are comfortable using an online service for that purpose.

Children's Privacy

TextToPDF is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law to use online services without parental involvement. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that would require parental consent under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, contact us so we can review the issue.

International Use

If you access TextToPDF from outside the country where our infrastructure or providers operate, your information may be transferred to and processed in another country. By using the service, you understand that data protection rules may differ across jurisdictions.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights related to your personal information. These rights can include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or a request for a copy of the data that relates to you.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Some requests may be limited when we are required to keep information for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Third Party Links

The site may link to other websites, tools, or resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to TextToPDF. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites you visit through external links.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product changes, legal updates, or security improvements. When we update the policy, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
