Overview
PDFnestify ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website pdfnestify.com. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.
The short version: we don't see your files, we don't store them, and we never upload them anywhere. All PDF operations happen entirely within your own browser.
Data We Collect
We collect very limited information. Here is a transparent breakdown:
| Data Type | Collected? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Your PDF or image files | No | Processed locally in your browser only |
| File names or content | No | Never transmitted to our servers |
| Account or login data | No | No accounts required to use the service |
| Browser & device info | Yes | Via Google Analytics (anonymised) |
| Pages visited, time on site | Yes | Aggregate analytics to improve the service |
| Ad interaction data | Yes | Managed by Google AdSense (third-party) |
File Processing
All PDF operations on PDFnestify — merging, splitting, compressing, converting, rotating, watermarking, and more — run entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript libraries.
- Your files are read from your device into browser memory only.
- All processing is performed locally on your device's CPU.
- Output files are generated in memory and offered as a direct download.
- Once your browser tab is closed or refreshed, all file data is cleared from memory automatically.
- No file data is ever sent to our servers, third-party servers, or cloud storage.
Cookies & Advertising
PDFnestify itself does not use any first-party cookies for user tracking or personalisation. However, to keep all tools free forever, we display ads via Google AdSense, which uses cookies to serve relevant ads.
- Google AdSense may use the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings ↗.
- You may also use the Cookie Consent Banner on this site to manage your preferences.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. This helps us improve tool performance and user experience. Google Analytics collects data such as:
- Pages visited and navigation paths
- Time spent on page
- General geographic region (country/city level)
- Browser type and operating system
This data is aggregated and anonymised. We do not use it to identify individual users. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy ↗.
Third Parties
We work with a small number of third-party services to operate the website. Each has its own privacy policy:
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to any other outside parties.
Children's Privacy
PDFnestify is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Policy Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about privacy and how PDFnestify works.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All PDF operations run directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never sent to any remote server — not ours, not anyone else's.
Do you store the files I process?
No. Files exist in browser memory only for the duration of your session. Once you close or refresh the tab, all data is cleared automatically.
Do I need to create an account?
No. All 12 tools on PDFnestify are completely free to use with no signup, no account, and no email address required — ever.
Can you read my document contents?
No. Because your files never leave your device, it is architecturally impossible for us to read, log, or access any content within your documents.
Why are there ads if it's free?
Ads served by Google AdSense allow us to keep all tools completely free for everyone. We never sell user data — ads are the only revenue source.
Are all tools really free?
Yes — all PDFnestify tools are completely free to use, forever. No subscription, no trial, no credit card required.
