This Privacy Policy explains how PDF to Audio collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit the website or use the service.
PDF to Audio is a service that helps users turn PDF files and text-based content into spoken audio and use related listening, account, and credit-based features.
We want this policy to describe our current product behavior in plain, accurate language rather than broad template language that does not match how the service actually works.
You can use parts of PDF to Audio without creating an account. If you choose to sign in with Google, we may receive account information such as your name, email address, profile image, and Google account identifier.
We maintain internal account records needed to operate the service, such as your PDF to Audio account ID, free credit balance, paid credit balance, and account creation or update timestamps.
When you use reading, voice, preview, or OCR-related features, we may process the text or content needed to provide the feature you requested.
We also store certain preferences locally in your browser, such as theme selection, favorite voices, recent files, and reader playback state.
When possible, PDF parsing and related reading preparation happen locally in your browser.
PDF to Audio is not described or operated as a general-purpose file hosting or cloud storage service for your documents.
When you request features that depend on external processing, such as voice generation, voice previews, or OCR-related features, the text or content needed to provide that feature may be sent to relevant service providers.
Because different features may use different processing paths, not every requested action can be completed entirely on your device.
PDF to Audio may rely on Google for sign-in and authentication.
Payments may be handled by Stripe or a similar payment provider when you purchase credits or paid features.
We may also use third-party providers to generate voice previews, support voice-related features, process OCR or document-related requests, and host or support account data and application infrastructure.
Those third parties may handle information according to their own terms and privacy practices when they provide services on our behalf.
We retain account information and service records for as long as reasonably needed to operate PDF to Audio, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.
Information stored locally in your browser remains on your device until you remove it through your browser settings.
We do not describe PDF to Audio as a long-term hosted repository for every document a user opens or processes.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information associated with PDF to Audio.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the Last Updated date.
Your continued use of PDF to Audio after an update is posted will be treated as acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
