Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PDFLooks. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, processed and protected when you access or use the PDFLooks website and its PDF and image tools.

By using PDFLooks, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use PDFLooks, we may process different types of information.

2.1 Files You Upload

When you use a tool that requires a PDF, image or another supported file, the file may need to be processed by the website or its supporting services in order to provide the requested result.

2.2 Technical Information

Like most websites, PDFLooks may receive technical information associated with your visit, such as browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location information and information about how the website is accessed.

2.3 Account Information

If account registration or account-based features are available, information such as your name, email address and account credentials may be processed as necessary to provide those features.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be used for purposes including:

• Providing and operating PDFLooks tools.
• Processing files when you request a conversion, editing or other supported operation.
• Maintaining and improving website performance and functionality.
• Detecting abuse, fraud, security issues or technical problems.
• Responding to support requests and communications.
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

4. Uploaded Files

PDFLooks provides tools that allow users to upload files for processing. Uploaded files may contain personal or confidential information, so users should only upload files they are authorized to process.

PDFLooks does not claim ownership of the documents or images you upload. You remain responsible for the content of files you submit and for having the necessary rights or permissions to use them.

5. File Retention and Deletion

File retention depends on how the particular PDFLooks tool processes files and whether processing occurs directly in the browser or through a server-side processing service.

Where a tool processes a file temporarily for the purpose of completing a requested operation, the file should only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for that processing purpose, subject to the technical operation of the relevant tool.

We do not use uploaded files for unrelated purposes unless this is specifically explained to you or required by law.

6. Information Sharing

PDFLooks does not sell your personal information simply because you use our PDF and image tools.

Information may nevertheless be shared with service providers or technical partners where reasonably necessary to operate the website, process requested files, maintain security, provide hosting, or perform other services on our behalf.

Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law, legal process, court order or to protect the rights, safety and security of PDFLooks, its users or others.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

PDFLooks may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies to provide website functionality, remember preferences, maintain sessions or understand how the website is used.

The specific cookies or technologies used may change as the website develops.

Where required by applicable law, users will be provided with appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

8. Third-Party Services

Some PDFLooks features may rely on third-party libraries, hosting providers, infrastructure providers, analytics services or other technical services.

Such providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services. Their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We recommend reviewing the privacy practices of third-party services that are actually integrated into the live version of PDFLooks.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

PDFLooks is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include, where applicable:

• Requesting access to personal information we hold about you.
• Requesting correction of inaccurate information.
• Requesting deletion of personal information where legally permitted.
• Requesting restriction of certain processing.
• Objecting to certain processing.
• Requesting a portable copy of certain information.

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and requirements.

12. California Privacy Rights

If California privacy laws apply to you, you may have additional rights regarding the collection, use, disclosure and deletion of personal information.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on whether PDFLooks is subject to the applicable requirements and on your circumstances.

13. European Privacy Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or another jurisdiction with similar data protection requirements, additional rights may apply to you.

Where applicable, processing may be based on a legal basis such as providing a requested service, complying with a legal obligation, protecting legitimate interests, or obtaining consent where consent is required.

14. International Data Transfers

Depending on where PDFLooks, its hosting providers and supporting services operate, information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, appropriate safeguards will be used where required.

15. Data Retention

Personal information is intended to be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide requested services, maintain legitimate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements or comply with legal obligations.

Specific retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and how the information is processed.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to PDFLooks, applicable laws, technologies or our privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated policy will be posted on this page and the "Last Updated" date will be changed.
