Welcome to BuildPDF ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit buildpdf.co (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

BuildPDF is a 100% client-side application. All file conversion and extraction operations happen entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your files are never transmitted to our servers — we do not operate any server that receives, stores, or processes your files. We cannot access the contents of any file you convert on this Site.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Netlify) and third-party advertising partners may automatically collect certain non-personal technical information when you visit the Site, including:

Your IP address (anonymized)
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referring URL (the page you came from)
Date and time of your visit
Pages viewed

This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve user experience. It is not used to personally identify you.
