thedocpulse ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at thedocpulse.pages.dev. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website and use our PDF tools. By using thedocpulse, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate our service and display relevant advertisements. Here is exactly what we collect:

Usage Data (collected automatically): When you visit thedocpulse, we may collect anonymized information such as browser type, operating system, device type, referring URLs, pages visited, and approximate geographic location at the country level. This data is collected by Google Analytics and is used solely to understand how our website is used in aggregate.

Contact Information (when provided voluntarily): If you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name and email address solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

Advertising Data: Google AdSense, our advertising partner, may collect anonymized data including cookie identifiers and browsing behavior to serve relevant advertisements. This is described in detail in Section 5.

What we do NOT collect: We do not collect payment information, social security numbers, government IDs, or any other sensitive personal information. We do not collect or store the contents of any PDF or document files you process using our tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our PDF tools and website
  • To respond to your support inquiries and feedback
  • To display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • To analyze aggregate usage trends to improve the user experience
  • To detect and prevent technical issues or abuse
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your personal information for direct marketing without your explicit consent.

3. File Processing & Privacy

๐Ÿ”’ Your files are NEVER uploaded to our servers. All PDF processing on thedocpulse happens entirely locally inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript libraries โ€” specifically PDF-lib, PDF.js, Mammoth.js, and JSZip.

This means:

  • Your documents never leave your device at any point during processing
  • We have absolutely no technical ability to access your file contents
  • No document data is stored, cached, logged, or transmitted to any server
  • Your files are processed entirely in your browser's memory and are discarded when you close the tab
  • Processing works even on a slow or intermittent internet connection, since no file data is transferred

This client-side processing model means that your confidential documents โ€” contracts, medical records, financial statements, personal photos โ€” remain completely private and under your control at all times.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

thedocpulse and our third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Here is a breakdown of the cookies used:

  • Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website in aggregate. These cookies collect anonymized data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing history. See Section 5 for full details.
  • Preference Cookies: We may store small pieces of data locally in your browser to remember your tool preferences, such as preferred compression level or output format.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings menus.

5. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

thedocpulse is supported by advertising revenue. We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC.

Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve personalized advertisements based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to thedocpulse and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our website, please visit: How Google uses information from sites that use our services.

thedocpulse does not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google AdSense. The ads displayed on thedocpulse are served by Google and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited personal information we collect. All web traffic to and from thedocpulse is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS encryption provided by Cloudflare. Our hosting on Cloudflare Pages benefits from Cloudflare's enterprise-grade security infrastructure, including DDoS protection.

Since we do not store your files or any sensitive personal data on our servers, the risk of a data breach affecting your documents is effectively zero. The only personal data we may hold is your name and email address if you contact us, which is stored securely and used solely to respond to your inquiry.

7. Children's Privacy

thedocpulse is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at the email address below, and we will take steps to delete such information.

Our advertising partner Google AdSense also does not knowingly target personalized advertising to children. Non-personalized ads may be displayed to all users.

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to Opt Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising as described in Section 5.
