Exam PDF (operating at https://exam-pdf.com, "we", "us", or "our") provides free, browser-based tools for students, teachers, and coaching institutes to work with exam papers, answer sheets, and study material. This Privacy Policy explains what information our website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
The short version: most of our tools are built to process your files entirely inside your own browser, without ever uploading them to our servers. The sections below explain exactly what that means and cover the other, more limited information our website does handle.
Information We Do Not Collect
The core of Exam PDF is a set of tools - including the PDF compressor, splitter, merger, crop tool, image-to-PDF converter, previous year paper organizer, and the blur image tool - that are designed to run using your browser's own processing capabilities (technologies such as HTML5 canvas and JavaScript running locally on your device).
For these tools, your files (PDFs, images, scanned answer sheets, question papers, and similar documents) are read directly from your device into your browser's memory, processed there, and made available for you to download. They are not transmitted to, stored on, or accessible from any server operated by us. Closing the browser tab clears the file from memory.
If we ever introduce a tool that requires server-side processing of your file, we will clearly disclose this on that specific tool's page before you use it, so you always know how your file is being handled.
Information We May Collect
While we try to keep data collection to a minimum, a small amount of information is generated simply by operating a website:
- Usage and log data: like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically record information such as your approximate location (derived from IP address), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on a page, for the purpose of understanding how the site is used and keeping it running reliably.
- Cookies and similar technologies: we may use cookies for analytics and, if applicable, advertising purposes. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
- Information you provide directly: if you contact us by email (for example, at sureshburla1720@gmail.com) or through a contact form, we will have access to whatever information you choose to include in that message, such as your name and email address.
How We Use Information
Any information described above is used only for legitimate purposes connected to running and improving Exam PDF, such as:
- Understanding which tools are most useful and where the site experience can be improved
- Diagnosing technical issues and maintaining site security
- Responding to questions, feedback, or support requests sent to us directly
- Displaying relevant advertising, where applicable, to help keep our tools free to use
We do not sell personal information, and we do not have access to the contents of files you process using our browser-based tools, because those files never reach us in the first place.
Third-Party Services and Links
Our site may rely on third-party services for functions like analytics, advertising, or web hosting, and may link out to other websites (for example, official exam board or university websites). These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites we do not operate.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the limited information we do collect, including using standard web security practices for our site. However, no method of transmission or storage is ever completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Because file processing happens locally in your browser for most tools, your documents are inherently protected from server-side exposure simply by never being sent to us.
Data Retention
We retain analytics and log data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, consistent with the retention practices of the third-party tools we use. Emails or messages you send us are kept as long as needed to address your inquiry and for our records.
Children's Privacy
Exam PDF is intended to be useful to students of various ages, including those who may be minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children beyond what is incidentally captured through standard analytics (such as general usage statistics), and we do not require any account creation, login, or submission of personal details to use our tools. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information through a contact form or email, please reach out to us at sureshburla1720@gmail.com and we will address it promptly.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding personal information relating to you, such as the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain data. Because we collect very little personal information in the first place, most of these requests will simply relate to analytics or any emails you've sent us. You can reach us at sureshburla1720@gmail.com to make such a request, opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser, or ask any other question about this policy.
International Users
Exam PDF is accessible globally. If you are accessing the site from outside the country where our servers or service providers are located, please be aware that information collected as described in this policy (such as analytics data) may be processed in other countries, which may have different data protection laws than your own.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, tools, or legal requirements. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
