Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 28, 2026

At 4ory (accessible from https://4ory.com), your privacy and the security of your documents are our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is handled, and the strict security measures we implement to protect your data while using our online PDF tools.

If you have additional questions or require more information regarding our Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

1. PDF File Security & Processing

Because 4ory specializes in online PDF management, manipulation, and editing, document confidentiality is built into every aspect of our platform:

  • No Document Inspection: We do not inspect, view, monitor, or read the contents of any files uploaded to our servers.
  • Automatic Permanent Deletion: All uploaded files, converted documents, and generated outputs are automatically and permanently erased from our servers within 1 hour after processing (or instantly if processed directly in your browser).
  • No File Backups: We do not create, maintain, or store permanent backups of user-uploaded files under any circumstances.
  • Full Data Ownership: You retain 100% ownership and intellectual property rights to all files processed through 4ory.

2. Information We Collect

4ory collects minimal information necessary to deliver a fast, reliable, and secure service:

a. Log Files

4ory follows standard procedures using log files. Information collected includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Browser type and version
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  • Date and time stamps
  • Referring/exit pages

Note: Log file data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is strictly used for analyzing server performance, traffic management, and preventing automated security abuse.

b. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like most modern web platforms, 4ory uses essential cookies to remember user preferences, optimize processing workflows, and improve overall user experience.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

Google is a third-party vendor on our site. It uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visits to 4ory and other sites across the internet.

Visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at:

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons within their respective advertisements displayed on 4ory. These technologies measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and personalize advertising content.

4. Data Encryption & Infrastructure Security

All data transfers between your web browser and 4ory servers are protected using industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) 256-bit encryption. This ensures that your files and connection remain confidential and safe from interception during upload, processing, and download.

5. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

We want to ensure you are fully aware of all your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions. Since we automatically delete PDF files within 1 hour, your uploaded document data is naturally erased.
  • The right to object/restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict or object to the processing of your personal data.

6. Children's Privacy

4ory does not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child provided personal information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.
