Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our core feature. This policy describes how Handl ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our website.

The Short Version

We do not see, store, or upload your files. All file processing happens locally in your browser's memory. We have no access to the content of your documents.

1. File Processing

Unlike other online PDF tools, Handl does not upload your files to a server for processing. We utilize WebAssembly and HTML5 technologies to execute all operations (merging, compressing, encrypting, etc.) directly on your device. Your files strictly remain on your computer or mobile device.

2. Data Collection

We do not collect personal data such as names, email addresses, or document contents. We use third-party services for basic analytics and advertising:

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns (e.g., how many users visited the site). This data is anonymized.
Google AdSense: We display ads to support the free operation of this tool. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

3. Cookies

We use cookies solely for the purpose of analytics and advertising partners mentioned above. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

4. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
