GDPR
Last updated: May 8, 2026
EU residents have specific rights under GDPR. Here is how pdfty handles them.
Lawful basis
We process data on these bases:
- Contract: when you upload a file, we process it to deliver the requested operation
- Legitimate interest: aggregate analytics (no personal IDs) and security monitoring
- Consent: only when explicitly requested (e.g., marketing emails)
Your rights
You can exercise the following rights by emailing privacy@pdfty.com from the address on your account:
- Access: get a copy of your account data within 30 days
- Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Deletion: ask us to delete your account and associated data (some logs retained 90 days for security)
- Portability: get your data in JSON format
- Objection: ask us to stop specific processing
- Restriction: ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved
We respond to all requests within 30 days, free of charge.
Files you upload
Files are deleted within 1 hour of upload. We do not back them up or use them to train any model. There is normally nothing to delete on request — they are already gone.
Where data lives
Servers are in EU data centers. We use these EU/EEA-based or DPF-listed sub-processors:
- VPS provider — EU
- Stripe (payments) — EU/US under DPF
- Resend (email) — US under DPF

Complaints
EU residents may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority. We hope you contact us first — we want to fix any issue.
