Privacy
policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026.

1. Who we are

BestPDFInTheWorld is a PDF editing tool that runs entirely in the browser. The service is operated by BestPDFInTheWorld, based in Portugal. For any questions about privacy or data protection, you can contact us at [email protected].

This policy applies to the bestpdfintheworld.com website and the tool accessible on the same domain.

2. What data we collect

Nothing. BestPDFInTheWorld was built with a privacy-by-design approach. We do not collect personal data of any kind:

• We do not ask for your name, email, password, or any other identifying information.
• We do not create user accounts.
• We do not use tracking cookies, analytics, pixels, or third-party scripts for monitoring purposes.
• We do not store, transmit, or process your PDF files on our servers. All processing happens in your browser, in local memory.

3. Cookies

We do not use cookies of any kind. The tool sets neither first-party nor third-party cookies. The fonts we use are self-hosted locally, with no contact with external servers.

4. License data (localStorage)

When you activate a premium license key, the key and license status are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage (localStorage). This data:

• Stays on your device only.
• Is never sent to our servers.
• Is automatically removed if you clear your browser data or close the tab.

The daily free compression limit is also tracked in localStorage. You can clear this counter at any time from your browser settings.

5. Payments (Stripe)

Premium subscription payments are processed through Stripe, an online payment platform. When you subscribe, you are redirected to the Stripe checkout page, which collects and processes your payment data independently.

BestPDFInTheWorld does not receive, see, store, or process your credit card details, PayPal account, or any other payment information. The payment relationship is solely between you and Stripe. We recommend reading the Stripe privacy policy.

6. Storage and security

Since we do not collect or store personal data, we maintain no user databases, file servers, or backup systems with your documents. The PDF you load stays in your browser's memory during your work session. When you close the tab, the memory is released and the file is gone.

7. Your rights under the GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Right of access: you can ask us to confirm whether we process your personal data. The answer will always be no, because we do not collect it.
• Right to rectification: as we store no personal data, there is nothing to rectify.
• Right to erasure: you have no personal data stored with us. You can delete BestPDFInTheWorld's localStorage data from your browser settings.
• Right to portability: not applicable, for the same reason.
• Right to object: we do not process personal data, so there is nothing to object to.
• Right to lodge a complaint: you may file a complaint with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (CNPD) or the supervisory authority in your country.

8. Minors

BestPDFInTheWorld does not collect data from anyone, including minors. The tool can be used by anyone with a browser, with no age restrictions imposed by us.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally. The date of the last update appears at the top of the page. Significant changes will be communicated through a visible notice on the website. Since we do not collect your contact data, we recommend checking this page periodically.
