Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

PDFCocoon (https://pdfcocoon.com) is operated by Dulanka Katugampala, based in Sri Lanka (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@pdfcocoon.com.

2. Your files

When you use a tool, your file is read by JavaScript running in your own browser. All processing, including reading pages, creating new PDFs and building ZIP archives, happens on your device. Your files are not transmitted to our servers or to any third party, and we cannot see, store or recover them. When you close or reload the tab, the file is cleared from your browser’s memory.

3. Information collected automatically

Hosting. Our website is delivered by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Analytics. To understand which pages and tools are popular, we use Umami, an open-source analytics tool that we run ourselves at analytics.pdfcocoon.com, so the data isn’t shared with an analytics company. It records things like the page you visited, the website that sent you, your browser, your type of device and your country. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites and does not build a profile of you. It never receives your files or their names. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which works in the same cookie-free way.

4. Advertising

We show ads through Google AdSense to keep PDFCocoon free. Ads never have access to your files.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.

Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before advertising cookies are used, through a Google-certified consent tool. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link shown on the site.

5. When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply, and we delete the conversation when it is no longer needed. Please don’t send us your documents; we never need them to help.

6. Cookies

PDFCocoon itself does not set cookies to make the tools work. Your browser may store small preferences (such as a remembered setting) locally on your device; these never leave it. Advertising cookies are described in section 4.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, UK GDPR and California privacy laws, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because we hold almost no personal data, the most likely case is an email you sent us. Just ask and we’ll delete it.

8. Children

PDFCocoon is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
