FileMutate ("we", "us") provides PDF tools at filemutate.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, and, because the product is built around file uploads, goes into more detail than usual about what happens to the files themselves.
We collect the minimum needed to run the service:
Files you upload are transmitted over an encrypted connection, processed to produce your requested output, and stored only long enough for you to download the result.
File conversion and manipulation is performed by our own processing service, hosted on infrastructure we control. We do not send your files to third-party AI or conversion APIs. We do use third-party providers for infrastructure (hosting, error monitoring) and payments (if you purchase a paid plan). These providers act under contract and do not receive your file contents.
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Since files are already deleted automatically within an hour, there is generally nothing file-related left to request.
If we make a material change to how we handle your data, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, note it on the homepage.
