At PDFMintly (accessible via pdfmintly.com), the privacy of our visitors and the security of their document files is our highest priority. This Privacy Policy document explains what information is collected, how it is handled, our strict automated file deletion policies, and your data protection rights under international regulations including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. Document Files & Processing Privacy

  • Zero Content Inspection: We do not inspect, read, copy, analyze, or mine the contents of your uploaded documents. Documents are processed strictly by automated machine scripts.
  • Automated 1-Hour Deletion: All original uploaded documents and converted output files are stored in isolated temporary directories and are permanently deleted from our servers after 1 hour (60 minutes) via automated background cleanup cron jobs.
  • No Public Indexing: Files are given cryptographically random UUID identifiers and are never indexed by search engines or accessible without unique session-bound tokens.
  • Encrypted in Transit: All data transmissions between your browser and our servers are protected using 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / SSL).
