Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how SmallPDF.online handles information when you visit the website or use its online document tools.
Last updated: July 31, 2026
1. Information we may process
When you use SmallPDF.online, the service may process files that you voluntarily upload for conversion, compression, merging, splitting, rotation, protection, unlocking or another requested operation.
The server may also automatically receive limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, date and time of access, and technical error information.
2. Uploaded files
Uploaded files are processed automatically for the purpose of providing the tool selected by the user. Files and generated results may be stored temporarily on the server while the requested operation is completed and while the result is available for download.
SmallPDF.online does not require users to create an account before using the available tools. Uploaded files are not intended to be reviewed manually, except where this may be reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, security incidents or technical failures.
Do not upload files containing confidential, highly sensitive, legally restricted or unnecessary personal information unless you are authorised to process that information and accept the risks of using an online service.
3. How information is used
Information may be used to provide and operate the requested PDF tools, deliver processed files, maintain website security, detect abuse, troubleshoot technical problems, improve performance and respond to user communications.
4. Server logs
Hosting and server systems may create technical logs when the website is accessed. These logs may include IP addresses, request details, browser information, timestamps and error records. Log information may be used for security, diagnostics, abuse prevention and service maintenance.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
SmallPDF.online and third-party services may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, IP addresses or similar technologies. These technologies may be used for essential website functions, security, remembering preferences, measuring performance and displaying advertising.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the operation of certain website features.
6. Google AdSense and advertising
SmallPDF.online uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to SmallPDF.online or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve personalised or non-personalised advertisements, depending on the user’s location, choices, consent and advertising settings.

7. Third-party services
The website may rely on third-party providers for hosting, advertising, security, file processing or other technical functions. These providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies and the services they provide.
SmallPDF.online is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites reached through third-party links.
8. Email communications
When you contact us by email, we may receive your email address, message content and any information you choose to provide. This information is used to review and respond to your request, investigate technical issues and maintain necessary communication records.
Do not send passwords, confidential documents or unnecessary sensitive personal information by email.
9. Data retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for processing files, operating the service, maintaining security, resolving technical problems, complying with legal obligations and handling user requests.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the technical systems involved.
10. Data security
SmallPDF.online uses HTTPS and reasonable technical measures intended to protect information during transmission and processing. However, no internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
11. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to the processing of personal information.
To make a privacy-related request, email support@smallpdf.online and use “Privacy Request” as the subject.
We may need sufficient information to understand and verify the request. Because the service does not require user accounts, it may not always be possible to connect particular technical data or uploaded files to a specific person.
12. Children’s privacy
SmallPDF.online is a general-purpose document service and is not directed specifically at children under the age of 13. Children should use online file-processing services with the involvement of a parent or guardian where required by applicable law.
13. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its tools, advertising services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
