Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our absolute core promise. ihatelovepdf operates completely inside your browser — your documents never touch a remote server.
Zero Server Uploads
Files uploaded to ihatelovepdf stay in your browser RAM and local disk storage. We operate zero cloud processing pipelines.
No Tracking Cookies
We do not use advertising identifiers or invasive profiling cookies. Only essential user settings (like theme) are stored locally.
Instant Destruction
Closing your browser tab immediately releases all file buffers from system memory. No data residual copies are maintained.
1. Introduction
ihatelovepdf ("we", "our", or "us") provides a browser-based document utility toolkit designed to compress, merge, split, crop, rotate, reorder, and convert PDF files. This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of our web application.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because processing takes place strictly inside your client web browser, we do NOT collect, access, or inspect:
- Your uploaded PDF files or image assets
- Text, graphics, metadata, or form content inside your documents
- Personal identification details (names, identity numbers, financial records)
- Browsing logs, search histories, or document activity histories
3. Local Browser Processing Architecture
Traditional PDF tools send files over HTTP requests to cloud servers to be processed and returned. ihatelovepdf is built differently:
We leverage modern client-side technologies — Web Workers, WebAssembly (WASM), PDF-lib, and Mozilla PDF.js — to run all document algorithms right inside your web browser. File bytes never traverse the internet.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We prioritize data minimization:
localStorage.5. Third-Party Libraries & Licenses
ihatelovepdf relies on trusted open-source technology frameworks:
- PDF-lib — MIT License (PDF manipulation and compilation)
- PDF.js — Apache License 2.0 (Client-side rendering and page previews)
- Lucide Icons — ISC License (UI icons)
- Next.js / React — MIT License (Frontend framework)
6. International Legal Compliance
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Because no personal data or document content leaves your browser, ihatelovepdf complies with GDPR requirements for data minimization, storage limitation, and confidentiality by default.
Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Since Protected Health Information (PHI) is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored on third-party servers, ihatelovepdf can safely be utilized for document manipulation without risk of cloud PHI breaches.
Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD)
In compliance with Brazil's LGPD, we collect no personal data profiles and process zero personal information on remote database systems.
