Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2025
1. Introduction
PPWEditor.com ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Privé Aero. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our PDF processing service. We are committed to handling your data with transparency and care.
2. LinkedIn Authentication
Important
LinkedIn is used exclusively for authentication purposes. We use LinkedIn OAuth only to verify your identity and create your account. We do not access, read, or interact with your LinkedIn profile content, connections, messages, posts, or any other LinkedIn data beyond your basic identity (name and email address).
When you sign in with LinkedIn, LinkedIn shares the following with us:
- Your full name
- Your email address
- Your LinkedIn profile ID (used as a unique identifier)
We do not post on your behalf, read your messages, access your connections, or perform any action on your LinkedIn account.
3. Information We Collect
Account Information
We store your name, email address, and LinkedIn ID to create and maintain your account, manage your usage quota, and provide the Service.
Usage Data
We collect anonymized usage logs (number of uploads, pages processed, timestamp) for quota management and service improvement. These logs are associated with your account ID, not your personal identity.
PDF Files
Files you upload are processed in memory on our servers and are never permanently stored. Once processing is complete and the output is returned to your browser, your files are discarded. We do not read, analyze, or retain the content of your PDF files.
4. How We Use Your Information
- To authenticate you and manage your account.
- To enforce usage quotas and credit balances.
- To process your PDF files as requested.
- To communicate important updates about the Service.
- To detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access.
5. Data Retention
Account information is retained for as long as your account is active. Usage logs are retained for up to 12 months for quota tracking purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Trusted infrastructure providers (hosting, database) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal obligations: When required by law or to protect our legal rights.
7. Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your account information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Cookies and Sessions
We use session cookies solely to maintain your authenticated state during your visit. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics that track you across websites.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Withdraw consent at any time by discontinuing use of the Service.
To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@ppweditor.com.
10. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
