2. General Principles

The protection of your personal data is important to us. You can use our website without registration. Data is only collected and processed if required for specific functions. No data is shared with third parties except when necessary for the service or legally required. No data is used for commercial purposes.

3. How Our Services Work

3.1 PDF Tools (e.g., split, merge)

These functions run entirely locally in the browser (client-side).

No PDF files or metadata are transmitted to servers.

No personal data is stored or processed.

Use of these tools is anonymous and unrestricted.

3.2 Image Restoration (e.g., upscaling and AI-based enhancement)

Requires file upload and email address input.

Processing is done server-side; results are sent via link to the provided email address.

The link is shortened using TinyURL (a US-based service).

TinyURL may collect and store IP addresses and usage data.

Processing is done using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Frankfurt region (eu-central-1).

Data is stored for a maximum of 24 hours and then automatically deleted.

Email addresses are not used for marketing. IP addresses are stored for security reasons for a maximum of 24 hours.

The link is shortened with TinyURL, a US third-party provider. Please note that TinyURL may collect IP addresses and usage data. We recommend reviewing TinyURL's privacy practices.

4. Legal Basis of Processing

Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR – Consent (e.g., when providing an email address)

Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR – Legitimate interest (e.g., abuse prevention, operation of the website)

5. Hosting and Infrastructure

Processing and storage are done via Amazon Web Services (AWS), Frankfurt region.

TinyURL is used for generating short links.

All communication is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.

6. Security

End-to-end encryption (HTTPS)

Automatic deletion of all uploaded data after a maximum of 24 hours.

Access control at the server level (only authorized processes).

Container-based processing to ensure data isolation.

Automatic deletion of data is performed by defined processes that ensure all uploaded files and temporary data are completely removed after a maximum of 24 hours.

7. Use of Google reCAPTCHA

To protect our forms, we use Google reCAPTCHA v2. IP addresses, browser data, and user behavior may be collected.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

More information on data processing by Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

8. Privacy Preferences, Analytics and Advertising

The Google messaging integration contacts Google when enabled. Advertising consent and storage are managed by Google separately from MyFilesUp Analytics. See the Google message for its purposes and providers.

Analytics requires your consent. It measures sessions, page visits, tool openings and the OCR PDF workflow: accepted files, processing, errors, cancellations and downloads. Metrics include file size ranges, page counts and duration, using temporary session and job identifiers. It does not collect file names, document contents or OCR text. Advertising is not enabled.

Analytics is optional and off until you give valid consent. You can use every tool without accepting. Advertising preferences are managed separately by Google; neither choice grants the other permission.

Only your latest choice, its version, decision date and expiry are stored locally for up to 180 days. No document data is stored in this preference. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice lasts only in this tab.

When Google privacy messaging is enabled, the site contacts Google to display its consent message. Google manages advertising consent and its own storage separately. No ads are configured by this frontend. Use Advertising preferences (Google) in the footer to change those choices when available. This does not authorize MyFilesUp Analytics.
