Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 02, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how grumpes.com ("we", "us", or "the site") handles information when you use our free online PDF tools. We have designed this site with privacy as a priority.
Your files are never uploaded
Our PDF tools (such as Word to PDF, Merge, Split, Compress, Image to PDF and PDF to Word) run entirely inside your web browser. The documents and images you process are never uploaded to our servers, never transmitted over the internet, and never stored by us. All processing happens locally on your own device, and your files never leave it.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect personal information such as your name or email unless you choose to contact us directly. We may collect limited, non-personal technical information automatically, such as:
- Standard server/access log data (for example, browser type and general region), which may be collected by our hosting provider.
- Anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to understand which tools are popular.
Cookies and advertising
We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and, in the future, to display advertising. Specifically:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at www.aboutads.info.
When you first visit, you will be shown a cookie notice allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's stored data for this site.
Third-party services
This site may use third-party services such as a hosting provider and, potentially, Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics for usage statistics. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU GDPR or the California CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you. Because we do not collect or store your files or personal account data, these requests will mainly relate to any cookie or analytics data. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
