Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information PDF10x (“we”, “us”, accessible at https://pdf10x.com) collects when you use our website and tools, how it is used, and the choices you have. The most important thing to know is this:
Your files never leave your device. All PDF and image processing on PDF10x happens locally in your web browser. We do not receive, upload, store, scan or have any access to the documents you work with.
1. Your documents
Every tool on PDF10x (merging, splitting, compressing, converting, rotating, watermarking and so on) is executed by code running in your own browser. The files you select are read by your browser, processed on your device, and the result is saved by your browser to your device. No document content, file name or file metadata is ever transmitted to our servers or to any third party by our tools.
2. Information we collect
Because files are processed locally, the data we work with is limited to:
- Usage data. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs when pages are loaded: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring page and timestamps. We use this in aggregate to understand traffic and keep the site reliable and secure.
- Contact information. If you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to you.
We do not require accounts and do not collect names, payment details or document contents.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, measurement and advertising. See our Cookie Policy for the full list. You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. Advertising
PDF10x is funded by advertising, which is how we keep every tool free. We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
Advertising partners never receive the contents of your documents, because those contents never leave your device.
5. Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to measure page views and tool usage in aggregate (for example, how many people visited the Merge PDF page). Analytics never includes document contents.
6. Legal bases and your rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process the limited data described above on the basis of legitimate interest (site operation and security) and consent (advertising cookies, where required). You have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Contact us at support@pdf10x.com to exercise these rights.
7. California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell personal information. To opt out of personalized advertising, use the links in section 4 above.
8. Children's privacy
PDF10x is a general-audience website and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Data security
The site is served exclusively over HTTPS. Because your documents are never transmitted to us, the most sensitive data involved in using PDF10x — your files — is protected by the strongest safeguard available: it never leaves your possession.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
