Privacy Policy

1. Overview

PDF CodexNeo ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at pdf.codexneo.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your documents with complete confidentiality.

2. Files You Upload

When you use our PDF tools, you upload files to our server for processing. Here is exactly what happens to those files:

• ✓ Files are uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
• ✓ Files are stored in an isolated temporary directory on our server.
• ✓ Files are automatically and permanently deleted within 5 minutes of upload, regardless of whether you download the result.
• ✗ We do not read, analyse, index, or inspect the content of your files.
• ✗ We do not store your files beyond the 30-minute processing window.
• ✗ We do not sell, share, or transfer your files to any third party.
• ✗ We do not use your files to train machine learning models.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, our server automatically logs basic technical information when you visit:

• IP address (used for rate limiting to prevent abuse)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time of visit
• Referring URL

This information is used solely for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics. It is not linked to any personal identity and is not sold to third parties.

4. Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for the service to function:

• Session cookies - used to temporarily associate your uploaded file with your download. These expire when you close your browser or after 5 minutes.
• Analytics cookies - we may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as aggregated page view counts) to understand which tools are most used. No personally identifiable information is collected.

We do not use advertising tracking cookies or cross-site tracking.

5. Advertising

PDF CodexNeo displays advertisements to support the free service. These ads may be served by third-party advertising networks. Those networks may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalised advertising through your browser settings or tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

6. No Account Required

We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or submit any personal information to use any of our tools. You can use PDF CodexNeo completely anonymously.

7. Data Security

All data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). Uploaded files are stored with restricted access permissions and are inaccessible to other users. Our server infrastructure is maintained with regular security updates.

8. Children's Privacy

PDF CodexNeo is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
