Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PDF Word Excel ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at www.pdfwordexcel.xyz, collects, uses and protects information when you use our website and document tools. By using the site you agree to the practices described below.

1. Who we are

PDF Word Excel is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. You can contact us any time at laxmispicemart@gmail.com.

2. Files you process — never uploaded

All conversions, merges, splits, compressions and edits run entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your documents, their contents, file names and metadata are never transmitted to our servers and are never stored by us. When you close the browser tab, the file is gone from memory.

3. Information we (and our partners) collect

We do not ask you to create an account. We do collect limited technical and usage information automatically:

• IP address (truncated where feasible) and approximate location (country / region)
• Browser type, version, operating system and device type
• Pages viewed, referring URL, time on page and outbound clicks
• Anonymous, aggregated usage statistics
• Cookies and similar identifiers (see Section 5)

4. How we use information

• To operate, maintain and secure the website
• To measure traffic and improve content and tools
• To display advertisements that keep the service free
• To prevent abuse, fraud and security incidents
• To comply with legal obligations

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use the following categories of cookies. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice and dark/light theme).
• Analytics — help us understand which pages and tools are used (Google Analytics, if loaded).
• Advertising — used by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads.

You can change your choices at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

6. Google AdSense and third-party advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google and its certified third-party vendors use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the EEA/UK, youronlinechoices.eu.
• Read Google's privacy practices at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

7. Consent for users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we (and our advertising partners, including Google) rely on the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. Non-essential cookies, including those used for personalised advertising and analytics, are set only after you accept via the cookie banner. If you reject or ignore the banner, only strictly necessary cookies are used and ads (where shown) will be non-personalised.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Port your data to another service
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

California residents (CCPA / CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of "sales" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. We do allow advertising partners to use cookies on this site, which may be considered "sharing" under California law. You can opt out via our cookie banner.

To exercise any right, email laxmispicemart@gmail.com.

9. Data retention

Because files are processed locally, we retain none of your documents. Server logs and analytics data are retained for the period defined by the relevant third-party provider (typically up to 26 months for Google Analytics) or the minimum period required by law.

10. International data transfers

Our advertising and analytics partners may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, those transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

11. Children's privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Security

We use HTTPS, a strict Content Security Policy and HSTS to protect transport. Because file processing happens on your device, no third party — including us — can intercept your documents in transit.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage or via a banner.
