Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2026.

1. Who we are

PrintForge Docs is the official website related to PrintForge PDF Lite, a Windows desktop tool for working with PDF files, including actions such as merging, splitting, compressing, converting and protecting documents.

For privacy-related matters, you can contact us at: privacy@printforgedocs.com.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to printforgedocs.com, including download, purchase, support and license pages, as well as to the use of PrintForge PDF Lite when information related to licensing, support or product functionality is involved.

3. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, purchase a license or contact support, we may process certain types of information, such as:

• name and email address, when voluntarily provided through contact, support or purchase flows;
• payment-related information processed by checkout and payment providers;
• license information, such as serial number, activation status, app version and limited technical identifiers;
• messages sent by email or support forms;
• basic website technical information, such as IP address, browser, device, accessed pages and security logs;
• technical cookies and, when enabled, analytics, performance or third-party cookies.

4. PDF document data

PrintForge PDF Lite is designed to process PDF files locally on the user’s computer. This means that, by default, the contents of your PDF files are not uploaded to PrintForge Docs servers.

The application may access files selected by the user only to perform the requested action, such as merging, splitting, compressing, converting or protecting PDFs. Output files are saved locally according to the user’s choice.

5. How we use information

We may use personal and technical information for the following purposes:

• to provide access to the website, downloads and product pages;
• to process purchases, payments and license delivery;
• to validate, activate or support product licenses;
• to respond to questions, requests and support messages;
• to maintain website security and prevent abuse, fraud or misuse;
• to improve user experience when analytics tools are used;
• to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligations.

6. Legal bases and privacy principles

Where applicable, personal information may be processed based on contract performance, legal obligations, legitimate interests, consent when required, and the exercise or defense of legal rights.

We aim to follow common privacy principles such as purpose limitation, data minimization, transparency, security, prevention and accountability.

7. Payments and external providers

Purchases and payments may be processed by third-party platforms, such as checkout providers, card processors, digital wallets or similar services. These providers may collect and process information necessary to complete the transaction.

PrintForge Docs does not recommend sending full credit card information directly by email or support form.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use technical cookies required for basic functionality, security, language, session and preferences. We may also use analytics or performance tools to understand visits, accessed pages and website behavior.

You can adjust cookie settings in your browser. Some technical cookies may be necessary for certain parts of the website to work properly.

9. Sharing of information

We may share information only when necessary to operate the service, process payments, provide support, comply with legal obligations, protect rights or use technical providers.

Examples of third parties that may participate in processing include hosting, email, checkout, payment, traffic analytics, security and support providers.

10. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, improper alteration or misuse. No digital transmission or storage method is absolutely secure, but we seek to reduce risks using practices compatible with the size and purpose of the service.

11. Data retention

We keep information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including product delivery, support, license management, legal, tax and accounting obligations, and dispute resolution.

Support records may be kept as long as needed for service history. Purchase and license data may be retained for proof of purchase, license recovery, fraud prevention and legal obligations.

12. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights related to your personal information, including:

• requesting access to personal information;
• requesting correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated information;
• requesting deletion or restriction of processing when applicable;
• requesting information about sharing with third parties;
• withdrawing consent where processing depends on consent;
• objecting to certain types of processing where permitted by law.

To exercise these rights, contact: privacy@printforgedocs.com.
