Your document stays on your device.
This policy explains what happens when you visit unlockpdf free or use one of its browser-based PDF tools.
Our short version
unlockpdf free is designed so that your PDF and the password you provide are processed locally in your browser. We do not operate a document-upload endpoint for the PDF tools, and we do not receive or store the PDF bytes or passwords used in your browser session.
Information processed in your browser
When you select a file, browser code reads that file from your device. Depending on the method you choose, the browser renders the pages or processes the PDF structure locally and creates a new file for download. The original file remains on your device, and closing the page ends the working session held by that tab.
Passwords are used only in memory while the selected tool is processing your file. Do not enter a password on a device or browser session you do not trust.
Website and hosting information
The website is served as static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and browser libraries. Like most websites, the hosting or delivery provider may receive technical request information needed to deliver pages, detect abuse, and maintain reliability. This can include an IP address, browser details, requested URL, time, and basic error information. That infrastructure data is handled according to the provider's own privacy terms.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
unlockpdf free does not require an account and does not use a login cookie for the PDF tools. We do not intentionally use the contents of your documents for analytics or advertising. If the website later adds analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies, this policy will be updated before or when those technologies are introduced.
Third-party resources
The site may load fonts from Google Fonts. A browser request for an externally hosted font can expose technical request information to that provider. The PDF libraries used by the tools run in your browser; they are not an external service receiving your document.
Links to other websites
Pages on unlockpdf free may link to external websites or resources. We do not control their content or privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any external site before sharing information with it.
Your choices and questions
You can choose not to select a file, close the tool, or clear your browser's downloaded files and site data. If you have a privacy question or believe the site has handled information unexpectedly, please contact us.
Policy changes
We may update this policy when the website or its processing practices change. The date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was last reviewed.
