Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Publication blocker: confirm publisher identity, contact address, website hosting and analytics practices, and production integration behavior before legal approval.

Local PDF processing

Private PDF Compressor compresses, splits and merges PDF documents locally within the Chrome extension, rather than uploading PDFs to a remote processing server.

Temporary browser storage

Input and output PDF bytes may be temporarily stored in browser IndexedDB. Records are assigned a 24-hour expiration. Expired records are treated as unavailable and deleted on access or when cleanup executes; cleanup is not guaranteed to run at the exact expiration time. Some operation records are deleted earlier. Browser storage limits apply.

License activation

Pro activation, validation and deactivation contact an external licensing service. Requests may include a license key, instance name and instance ID. PDF bytes, filenames and previews are not included in those license requests.

Browser permissions

The extension uses local storage, downloads, offscreen processing and active-tab access. File URL access is subject to browser settings. Google Drive permissions are optional.

PDF links and Google Drive

If you choose Paste link, the extension makes a network request to the URL you provide and downloads the PDF for local processing. The destination server may receive standard request metadata, including your IP address. Supported Google Drive file links are converted into Google download requests. Chrome requests optional access to Google Drive hostnames only when you initiate that workflow. The extension does not request access to your entire Google Drive account through a Google OAuth sign-in flow in the reviewed Private PDF Compressor code.

License data

The external licensing service receives a license key and, depending on the action, an instance name or instance ID. The extension stores the license state, verification timing and daily usage counters in Chrome local storage. No PDF bytes, filenames or document previews are included in license requests.

What we have not verified

Website hosting logs, analytics or tracking, payment checkout handling, final publisher contact details, and third-party privacy practices require separate verification before this policy is approved for public release.
