Welcome to PDFKivo (https://pdfkivo.online/).
At PDFKivo, we value your privacy and are committed to providing clear information about how data may be collected, used, processed and protected when you visit our website or use our online PDF tools.
This Privacy Policy explains our approach to personal information, document processing, cookies, third-party services, advertising and your privacy choices.
By accessing PDFKivo, you acknowledge the privacy practices described in this policy.
1. About PDFKivo
PDFKivo is an online platform focused on PDF conversion and document management.
Our website provides tools designed to help visitors complete common document-related tasks, such as converting files, organising PDFs, merging documents and working with selected pages.
Our goal is to make everyday document tasks convenient and accessible through an easy-to-use online platform.

When you contact us, we may receive information such as:

- Information you voluntarily provide when requesting assistance.
This information is used primarily to respond to enquiries, investigate reported problems and provide support.
Technical Information
Our website, hosting provider and related technical services may automatically process certain information, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and requested resources.
- Date and time of access.
- Referring website.

Some of this information may qualify as personal data under applicable privacy laws.
We may use technical information to maintain website functionality, investigate errors, support security and understand how our services operate.
3. PDF File Processing and Document Privacy
PDFKivo provides document processing tools that allow users to work with PDF files and supported document formats.
The way a document is processed depends on the technical implementation of the tool being used.
Some document tools can process files locally within the visitor’s web browser. In such cases, the browser performs the relevant operation without needing to send the entire document to a remote conversion server.
Other functionality, where implemented, may require communication with external services or servers.
Users should not assume that every tool operates entirely offline or that no information is transmitted unless the relevant tool explicitly confirms this.
Where a feature requires file transmission, the information involved may be processed by the relevant service provider for the purpose of performing the requested operation.
We encourage visitors to avoid processing highly confidential documents unless they are comfortable with the processing method used by the selected tool.
Users should keep an original copy of important files and review converted documents before sharing or relying on them.
