Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 19 May 2025

Welcome to the “Convert Webpage to PDF” browser extension and website (collectively, the “Service”). We are committed to respecting your privacy and safeguarding any information that may be collected through your use of the Service. This Privacy Policy outlines what data may be collected, how it is used, and how we protect it.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to both the “Convert Webpage to PDF” browser extension and the website https://convert-webpage-to-pdf.com (collectively, the “Service”). It does not govern the practices of any third-party websites, services, or applications that you may access through external links.

2. Data Collection

Personal Information

The Extension does not request or collect personal information such as your name, email address, payment details, or any other personally identifiable information-except when you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by contacting support at [email protected]).

Usage Data

  • During the conversion process, the Extension sends a minimal analytics event to our self-hosted analytics server that includes:
    • the hostname of the webpage you convert (no path, query string, or fragment)
    • your country (inferred from IP, which we do not save)
    • anonymous browser details (browser & OS, language, screen size)
  • On our website we collect standard, privacy-friendly analytics such as page views, referrer, device type, country, etc.
  • We do not collect any personally identifiable information, nor do we correlate analytics events with individual users.
  • All analytics data are stored on our own servers located in Germany (EU) and are never shared with third parties.
  • User can opt-out of analytics by disabling it in the Extension settings (the setting is available in the Extension options page).

Cookies and Similar Technologies

  • The Extension does not use cookies.
  • We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing, and we do not track your browsing activity with them.
  • We use browser’s local storage to 1) remember your preferences 2) store data during the conversion process 3) store usage statistics and rating vote.

3. How We Use the Collected Data

  • Local Processing: Any webpage data needed for conversion is processed locally on your device and is not sent to any external server, except in cases where we explicitly inform you about an additional feature or service that requires sending certain data to a server (for example, advanced PDF optimization or compression).
  • Analytics: We analyze the anonymized events described above to understand usage trends and improve the Service.
  • Support and Communication: If you reach out to us (e.g., via email), we may use any provided information to respond to your inquiry or to improve the Service (e.g., troubleshooting or addressing bug reports).

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

  • We do not sell, rent, or share personal or non-personal analytics information with third parties.
  • All the analytics events described above are never shared with third parties.
  • We may disclose limited information if required by law, regulation, or a valid legal process (such as a court order).

5. Data Security

  • Data processing for the actual PDF conversion occurs entirely within your local browser. Only the minimal analytics events described above are transmitted (via HTTPS) to our self-hosted servers in Germany. We may send data to our servers in cases where we explicitly inform you about an additional feature or service that requires sending certain data to a server (for example, advanced PDF optimization or compression).
  • Our servers are protected with industry-standard security measures, and all analytics data are stored within the EU (Germany) to comply with GDPR.
  • The Extension may contain links to external websites or services. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices of these external sites or services.
  • We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites or services before interacting with them.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
  • Your continued use of the Extension after any modifications to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes.
