Privacy Policy

1How Penpost Handles Your Input

Most Penpost tools, including PDF tools, image tools, text tools, calculators, and converters, run using client-side JavaScript directly in your browser. This means:

• Files you upload, edit, or convert are processed directly on your device
• Your files are never uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted to our servers
• We do not see, access, or retain the content of any file you work with

A small number of tools may require brief server-side processing to work correctly. Where this applies to a tool, it is stated clearly on that tool’s page, and any data sent is processed in memory only, never stored or logged after the operation completes.

2Information We May Collect Automatically

Our website may still collect limited technical information automatically when you visit, including:

Log data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is standard information collected by most web servers and hosting providers.

Analytics data: if we use a tool such as Google Analytics, it may collect anonymous usage information including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic location, at the country or city level
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• How you arrived at the site, whether by search, direct visit, or referral

This information is used only in aggregate form to understand site traffic and improve our services. It is not used to personally identify you.

Contact form or email data: if you reach out to us by email, we collect whatever you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. This is used solely to respond to you and is not shared with third parties.

3What We Do Not Collect

• Any text, file, or content you enter into our client-side tools, beyond what may be briefly required for the handful of tools that use server-side processing
• Passwords or payment information; we have no accounts or paid plans
• Precise location data
• Any data knowingly collected from children under 13

7Third-Party Services

Penpost may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

We have no control over the data practices of these third-party services and recommend reviewing their policies directly.

8Children’s Privacy

Penpost is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9Data Security

Since our tools process files locally in your browser and do not transmit them to our servers, your files remain under your control at all times. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security for any incidental data collected as described above.

10Data Retention

Any messages you send us are kept only as long as necessary to respond and are deleted after that. Analytics data, where used, is retained according to the default retention settings of the analytics provider and is anonymized.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
