You may contact us at the email address above regarding the processing and protection of your personal data, or to submit requests related to your rights under this notice.

HexxPDF aims to perform PDF and file operations in the user's own browser whenever possible. This approach helps ensure that, in many cases, your files can be processed on your device without being permanently uploaded to our servers.

However, some features may require server-side processing for technical reasons. When this is the case, we aim to indicate this as clearly as possible on the relevant tool page.

HexxPDF aims to protect user privacy by avoiding unnecessary data collection, limiting file processing to what is necessary for the relevant purpose, and respecting user preferences.

When you use HexxPDF, the following types of information may be processed:

Technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, language preference, approximate location, date and time of visit, error logs, and performance data.

Usage data: Visited pages, tools used, clicks and interaction data, page loading times, tool usage frequency, and similar analytics data.

Cookie and preference data: Cookie preferences, language selection, theme preference, cookie consent status, and similar settings that help improve the site experience.

Contact data: If you contact us, we may process your name, surname, email address, message content, and information related to your request.

Advertising and measurement data: When Google advertising products or similar third-party services are used, limited data may be processed for ad delivery, ad performance measurement, ad interactions, ad frequency control, reporting, and abuse prevention purposes.

File processing data: Files processed through HexxPDF tools are processed in the user's browser whenever technically possible. However, some features, large files, advanced conversion processes, or additional services that may be introduced in the future may require server-side processing. In such cases, files are processed only for the purpose of performing the relevant operation.

HexxPDF processes user files within the browser whenever possible. In such cases, your file may be processed without leaving your device.

If a feature requires server-side processing, files may be temporarily processed only for the purpose of performing the relevant operation. In such cases, we aim not to store files permanently and to delete them after the operation is completed.

HexxPDF may be an ad-supported platform. In this context, Google advertising products or similar third-party advertising services may be used.

Google and Google partners may use cookies, local storage technologies, web beacons, or similar technologies for ad delivery, ad measurement, abuse prevention, frequency capping, ad performance analysis, and improving the advertising experience.

Users may be shown personalized or non-personalized advertisements through Google advertising products.

Personalized advertisements may be shown based on the user's interests, previous interactions, or similar signals. Non-personalized advertisements may rely on more limited signals, such as page content, approximate location, device type, or browser type.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other regions where applicable law similarly requires consent, cookies and advertising-related data processing activities for Google advertising products may be activated based on user consent.

In this context, HexxPDF may use consent management tools provided by Google or a Google-certified consent management platform in accordance with Google policies.

Users may change their choices regarding advertising cookies and ad preferences through the cookie settings panel on the site or through the relevant consent management screens.

HexxPDF may use analytics tools to understand site performance and user experience.

These tools may process data such as visited pages, tools used, device type, browser information, approximate location, page loading time, error logs, and usage behavior.

Analytics services may be used to understand which tools are used most, detect technical issues, and improve the user experience.

Analytics cookies and similar technologies are enabled only based on user preference or explicit consent where required by applicable law.

Your personal data is not sold or directly marketed to third parties.

However, personal data may be shared with the following parties where necessary:

Personal data is transferred only to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose and in accordance with applicable laws.

Some infrastructure, advertising, analytics, security, or communication services used on HexxPDF may be provided by service providers located outside your country.

Therefore, depending on the nature of the service, your personal data may be transferred to servers or service providers located abroad.

When Google advertising products, analytics services, hosting services, or similar third-party technologies are used, the data processing and transfer policies of the relevant third parties may also apply.

Such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable laws and with appropriate safeguards where required.

HexxPDF aims to take reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect user data.

However, no data transmission over the internet, browser-based operation, or online system can be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.

Users should be careful, especially when processing confidential or sensitive documents.

Personal data is retained for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is processed.

For tools that run within the browser, your files are not permanently uploaded to our servers. In cases where server-side processing is required, files may be temporarily processed only for the purpose of providing the relevant operation and are intended not to be retained longer than necessary for that operation.

Contact requests, technical logs, analytics data, security logs, and legal records may be retained for as long as necessary.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, the purpose of processing, legal obligations, security requirements, technical needs, and the retention policies of third-party service providers.

• Financial records
• Bank documents
• Trade secrets
• Contracts
• Legal documents

Before uploading or processing such files, users are advised to make their own risk assessment.

HexxPDF is not designed as a service specifically intended for children.

Users below the legal age threshold in their country should not use the service without the supervision of a parent or legal representative.

If you believe that personal data belonging to a child has been processed without authorization, you may contact us.
