1. Introduction
Welcome to pdfImprove.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our platform, which allows users to generate summaries from the user's PDF files, using propietary Large Language Models (LLMs) and/or leveraging third-party LLM APIs.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information based on your interaction with our platform:
- For Basic Usage: We use your IP address to create a basic account and monitor usage limits.
- For Free Account Users: When you sign up for a free account, we collect your name and email address to provide account management and communication.
- Uploaded PDF Files: Uploaded PDF files are stored securely on our servers to provide a history of your files. This allows us to generate additional summaries from the same file without requiring you to upload it again. We do not access, read, or analyze the content of the stored PDF files beyond what is necessary for the summarization process.
- Usage Data: For both basic and free account users, we track the number of times you use our service to ensure compliance with usage limits.
3. How We Use Your Data
- PDF Content: We process the contents of uploaded PDF files to generate summaries using a third-party LLM API. While the files are stored securely on our servers, we do not access their contents outside of this process.
- File History: Stored PDF files allow us to provide you with additional services, such as generating new summaries for previously uploaded files.
- Account Management: We use your IP address, name, and email (if provided) to manage your account and ensure fair usage.
- Usage Control: Usage data is collected to enforce the limits associated with your account type.
4. Third-Party Data Handling
Please note that while we process PDF contents for summarization, they are sent to a third-party LLM API. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the third-party provider to understand how they handle your data.
5. Data Retention
- Personal Data: We retain your personal data (e.g., name, email, and IP address) only for as long as necessary to manage your account and comply with legal obligations.
- Stored PDF Files: Uploaded PDF files are stored for your convenience and will remain accessible in your account unless you delete them.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data and stored files against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
