Privacy Policy

GlobePDF (https://globepdf.com) provides PDF, image, and document tools that run in your web browser. We built the service for privacy-sensitive workflows such as bank statements, tax documents, contracts, IDs, and similar files. This policy explains what information we collect, what we do not collect, and how account-backed file history works.

Summary

• Account file history is optional. If you are signed in and process a file, the app may store the selected input files and generated output files on the backend so your dashboard can show and download them later.
• Limited data collection. We collect data needed to operate the website, measure traffic, protect the service from abuse, and support advertising when those services are configured.
• Document contents are not advertising data. Files processed locally are not sent to advertising providers.

How file processing and history work

When a tool asks you to upload, select, drag, or drop a file, that means you are giving your own browser access to the local file so the tool can process it. If account-backed dashboard storage is enabled and you are signed in, the selected input files and generated output files are transmitted to GlobePDF servers and stored with your account history.

File data may also be held temporarily in your browser memory while a preview or conversion runs. You can clear saved dashboard file history from the dashboard when account features are enabled.

Guest/public flows may still run without account file history. Tools that save files to your account should say so clearly before or during use.

Information we may collect

Usage and analytics

We may use web analytics, including Google Analytics when a measurement ID is configured, to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data may include pages visited, referring page, browser type, device type, approximate location such as country or region, and event timing. Analytics does not include the contents of files processed locally in your browser.

Advertising

We may use Google AdSense to display and measure advertising. Google and its advertising partners may receive technical and usage data such as your IP address, browser or device information, page URL, approximate location, ad interactions, and cookie or device identifiers. They do not receive the contents of files processed locally by our browser tools.

Depending on your location, consent choices, and advertising settings, ads may be personalized using activity from this site or other sites, or may be non-personalized and based on factors such as the page you are viewing and your general location.

Tool usage records

The app may record that a tool was used so we can understand demand, prevent abuse, or enforce limits. For signed-in dashboard history, the associated input and output file metadata and file contents may also be stored so you can download them later.

Account features

When you create an account or subscribe to paid features, we may collect account details such as your email address, authentication data, plan status, and account-level usage information. We will use that information to provide the requested account features and support the service.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log technical data such as IP address, request time, user agent, referring page, and requested URL. These logs help with security, debugging, abuse prevention, and reliability.

How we use information

• Provide, maintain, and improve GlobePDF
• Measure site performance and understand which tools are useful
• Display, personalize where permitted, and measure advertising that supports the service
• Monitor site performance and protect against abuse
• Manage optional account or paid features if they are enabled and you use them
• Comply with legal obligations

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for site functionality, consent preferences, analytics, fraud prevention, and advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve and measure personalized ads where permitted.

Where required, our consent manager asks for your choices before optional processing. You can also control cookies in your browser and manage Google ad personalization in Google's Ads Settings. Blocking optional cookies may affect analytics or ad personalization, but it should not prevent the core browser-based tools from processing files.

Third-party services

We may rely on third-party providers for hosting, analytics, advertising, consent management, and content delivery. Those providers process technical data according to their own privacy policies. In particular, review how Google uses information from sites that use its services. We do not send locally processed document contents to analytics or advertising providers.

Data retention

Dashboard file history is retained for as long as needed to provide the account feature, or until you clear it where the app provides that control. Account information is retained for as long as needed to provide account features, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. Server logs, analytics records, advertising records, and consent choices are retained by us or our providers only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, measurement, legal, and business purposes, then deleted or aggregated according to the applicable provider settings.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Where consent is the basis for optional analytics or personalized advertising, you may withdraw that consent through the site's consent controls. Some privacy laws may define personalized advertising as “selling” or “sharing” personal data even when no money is exchanged for that data.

Children

GlobePDF is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International visitors

GlobePDF is available globally. Technical data such as logs, analytics, and advertising data may be processed in countries where our hosting, analytics, advertising, and service providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
