Privacy-first by design

Privacy Policy

We designed PDF to Audio so you can convert PDFs without surrendering your privacy. This page explains exactly how your data is handled whenever you use the service.

Last updated: 10/10/2025Data retained: none

Privacy in plain language

We don't store your PDFs, the generated audio, or any personal details. Every conversion is handled in a temporary workspace so you keep control of your content end-to-end.

No account requiredNo tracking cookiesImmediate deletion

Temporary processing only

PDFs are processed in secure, short-lived environments and deleted as soon as your audio is ready.

Transparent infrastructure

We clearly list the specialised providers we rely on and ensure they meet strict privacy standards.

Preferences stay local

Voice and playback choices live in your browser only. Clearing localStorage removes every trace.

What we don't collect

The converter is intentionally minimal. It operates without holding onto personal data so you can focus on listening, not worrying about where information ends up.

No personal information

Use the converter without accounts, email addresses, or identifying details.

No file storage

Uploaded PDFs and generated audio are deleted immediately after processing completes.

No usage analytics

We do not log your activity, track events, or build behavioural profiles.

No tracking cookies

We avoid marketing pixels, fingerprinting, or other tracking technologies.

How the service works

Every conversion follows the same short-lived sequence. Here's what happens from upload to audio playback.

Step 1

PDF processing

Your PDF is held temporarily while we extract the text. Once the text is captured, the file is purged automatically.

Step 2

Audio generation

We stream the generated audio straight to your device. No audio files are retained on our servers.

Step 3

Local preferences

Optional settings—voice, pace, and model choice—are saved only in your browser for convenience.

Third-party service providers

We rely on a small number of specialised partners. Each provider is chosen for reliability, performance, and privacy alignment.

Document processing service

Extracts text directly from your PDF in memory. Files are never stored, shared, or used for training.

Text-to-speech service

Converts the extracted text to high-quality audio in a stateless pipeline with no logging or retention.

Privacy guarantee

Providers agree to stateless processing—no storage, no training on your content, and no sharing with other services.

Data security

Even without long-term storage, we protect every stage of the conversion workflow.

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption protects every upload and audio stream.
  • Processing happens inside isolated, access-controlled environments.
  • Temporary files are deleted automatically after each conversion.
  • Rate limiting safeguards the platform against abuse.
  • We enforce a 16MB upload cap to keep processing fast and predictable.

Your rights

  • Clear your browser’s localStorage to remove any saved voice preferences.
  • Stop using the service at any time without needing an account deletion.
  • No account exists to be removed because we never create one.

Legal basis

  • Legitimate interest in providing the PDF to audio conversion you requested.
  • Consent granted when you upload a document for processing.
  • Service provision obligations that require temporary handling of the file.

International transfers

  • Some providers operate globally but follow strict contractual safeguards.
  • Processing remains temporary regardless of location.
  • No personal data or content is permanently stored in any region.
  • We vet providers to ensure compliance with relevant privacy regulations.

Children's privacy

The service doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We recommend parental guidance when converting PDFs that may contain sensitive content.

Keeping this document current

We update this policy whenever the service changes. Because we don't store contact details, the latest version will always live here along with the refreshed “Last updated” date.

Questions or feedback

Have a question about how your data is handled? Reach out via the contact options on our main website or the project's GitHub repository and we'll respond quickly.

Privacy by design, every time

Convert your PDFs to audio knowing the pipeline is short-lived, transparent, and built to forget. That's our promise.
