This policy explains what happens to your data when you use PDFtoGrid at pdftogrid.online. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.
Your PDF files
PDFs you open with the converter are read and processed entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript. The file is not transmitted to this site's servers, to any third party, or anywhere else. Nothing about the contents of your document is stored, logged or seen by us.
You can verify this. Convert one PDF so the page loads its conversion libraries, then disconnect from the internet and convert another file. It should still work, because the conversion itself makes no network request.
The converted spreadsheet is generated in your browser and saved directly to your device by your browser's normal download mechanism.
Information collected automatically
Like almost all websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs when a page is requested. These may include your IP address, browser type and version, the page requested, the referring page, and a timestamp. This information is used to keep the site running and to detect abuse. It is not linked to any file you convert, because no file reaches the server.
Cookies and advertising
This site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense.
- Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
- Google's own handling of data is described in the Google Privacy & Terms page for partner sites.
Third-party advertising vendors may place and read cookies from your browser independently of this site. We do not control those cookies and cannot read them.
Third-party resources
The site loads web fonts from Google Fonts and JavaScript libraries from cdnjs, a public content delivery network. Requesting a file from either service reveals your IP address and browser details to that service in the normal way that any web request does. No information about your documents is included in those requests.
Analytics
If analytics are enabled on this site, they are used only to count page views and understand which guides are useful. Analytics never receive file names or file contents.
Your rights under GDPR and similar laws
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with comparable law, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held about you, and to object to processing. Because the conversion itself collects nothing, such requests would relate only to server logs and advertising identifiers. Contact details are on the about page.
Residents of California
We do not sell personal information as that term is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. Advertising partners may process data for personalised advertising; the opt-out links above apply.
Children
This site is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
