PDF Time Machine

Legal

Privacy Policy

23 August 2026

The short version

PDF Time Machine runs entirely inside your web browser. When you choose a PDF, it is read, parsed, and reconstructed on your own device using JavaScript — it is never uploaded, transmitted, or copied to any server. We have no server-side component to send it to, no database to store it in, and no way to see the file you're working with.

What we don't collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • The PDF files you open or any content extracted from them
  • File names, sizes, or metadata read from your files
  • Account information — there is no sign-up, login, or user profile
  • Analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising identifiers

The site sets no cookies and uses no browser storage (such as localStorage) to remember anything about you or your files between visits.

Standard hosting logs

Like virtually every website, the static hosting provider serving this page may keep routine technical logs of requests — for example an IP address, browser user-agent, the page requested, and a timestamp. This is standard infrastructure-level logging used for security, abuse prevention, and reliability, not something PDF Time Machine configures or reads for tracking purposes. We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not sell or share it with third parties.

Third-party services

PDF Time Machine does not embed third-party analytics, advertising, or social-widget scripts. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first to describe what's added and why.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone — since, as above, we don't collect file or personal data from any visitor regardless of age.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the update will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date above.
