Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

1. Introduction

At PDFMax, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data when you use the PDFMax Chrome Extension. The core principle of our operation is that we do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data.

2. Data Collection and Usage

PDFMax is designed to function entirely locally on your device.

  • No Personal Data Collection: We do not track your browsing history, personal information, or reading habits.
  • Local Processing: All PDF rendering, OCR processing, and file handling happen directly in your browser. No files are uploaded to our servers.
  • Local Storage: Specifically for features like settings preferences or reading progress, we may store small amounts of data locally on your device using Chrome's storage.local API. This data never leaves your browser.

3. Permissions

We request the minimum permissions necessary for the extension to function:

  • Storage: To save your preferences locally.
  • ActiveTab: To allow you to open PDFs from your current tab.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party analytics or tracking services. We do not sell data to advertisers.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
