Last updated: October 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use PDFalo.
No Account Required
PDFalo does not require users to create an account, register, or sign in to use its core features.

Local PDF Processing
PDFalo is designed so that its core PDF-processing operations can be performed directly within your web browser.
This includes features such as:
- PDF compression
- PDF merging
- PDF splitting
- PDF conversion
- Other browser-based PDF operations provided by PDFalo
When these operations are performed locally, your PDF files and their contents are processed on your own device by your browser.
PDFalo does not intentionally upload or permanently store locally processed PDF files on its servers.The resulting files are generated in your browser and can be downloaded directly to your device.
Your PDF Contents
PDFalo does not intentionally collect, sell, rent, or use the contents of locally processed PDF files for advertising or unrelated purposes.
Because processing occurs on your device, PDFalo generally does not need to receive the contents of the PDF in order to perform local PDF operations.
However, this statement applies only to features that actually perform processing locally. If PDFalo introduces a feature that requires server-side processing or an external service, that feature may be subject to additional data-processing practices, which will be disclosed where appropriate.
