FreePDFHub

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2026

Our core privacy promise

The tools currently on this site process your files locally in your browser; files are not transmitted to our servers, not stored by us, and not seen by us. When you merge, compress, sign, or edit a PDF with today's tools, the file stays on your device from start to finish. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and these tools keep working. If a future tool requires server-side processing, it will be clearly labeled on that tool's page, and this policy will be updated before that tool launches.

Information we do NOT collect

For the browser-based tools currently on FreePDFHub, we do not receive or store:

  • Your PDF, image, or text files, or any of their contents.
  • The names or metadata of the files you process with these tools.
  • Passwords you enter for protecting or unlocking PDFs — they are used only in your browser and are not transmitted by these tools.
  • Signatures you draw or type in the Sign PDF tool.
  • Personal account information — there is no signup, so we do not store names, emails, or passwords for user accounts.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, basic technical data may be processed when you visit FreePDFHub — such as browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, and referral source. This data relates only to the page visit itself and is handled by our analytics and hosting providers described below. For the current browser-based tools, this data is not linked to the contents of files you process, because those files stay on your device.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. FreePDFHub may use:

  • Functional cookies to remember basic preferences (for example, whether you have accepted our cookie notice).
  • Third-party cookies from our advertising and analytics partners described below.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies does not break the PDF tools on this site — they will keep working normally.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use (or plan to use) Google AdSense to show advertisements that keep FreePDFHub free for everyone.

Important: ads appear on the page around the tools. For the browser-based tools currently on FreePDFHub, advertising partners do not receive access to the files you process, because those files stay in your browser.

Analytics

We currently use no analytics beyond aggregate, anonymous hosting logs used to keep the site reliable and detect abuse. If we add a privacy-respecting analytics tool in the future, we will name it here and describe what it measures.

Third-party links

Some pages on FreePDFHub link to external websites. Once you leave our site, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Their content is governed by their own privacy policies.

Children's privacy

FreePDFHub is a general-audience service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Data security

Because the current tools keep your files on your device, the primary security model for your documents is your own device and browser. Our website itself is served over HTTPS to protect the integrity of the code delivered to your browser.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
