Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
1. Our Commitment to Privacy
At Optimax PDF, we treat your documents with uncompromising security. Because documents often contain sensitive academic, financial, or personal data, we built our platform on a Hybrid Privacy Architecture.
2. Browser Processing
Merge PDF, Split PDF, Rotate PDF, Sign PDF, Watermark PDF, JPG to PDF and PDF to JPG run in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our server during these operations.
3. Server Processing
OCR PDF, Compress PDF, PDF to Word (server mode), Word to PDF, Excel to PDF, PowerPoint to PDF, PDF to Excel, Protect PDF and Unlock PDF run on our server. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection (TLS). It is deleted right after your result is sent, and files left behind by an interrupted job are removed automatically. We do not keep copies.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We do not track you across other websites or sell your personal information. Standard analytical cookies may be used solely to monitor site performance and ensure service stability.
5. Google Drive and Dropbox
Some tool pages let you pick a file from Google Drive or Dropbox instead of your device. When you do, the file is downloaded into your browser and then handled exactly like a file you chose from your device. For Google Drive we ask for the drive.file permission only, which covers the files you pick with Optimax PDF and the files we save there for you, and nothing else in your Drive. We do not browse, read or change any other file, we do not keep your account details, and our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. You can remove our access at any time from your Google Account or your Dropbox account settings.
