Politique de confidentialité

Ce document est fourni en anglais. La version anglaise fait foi.
Ludovick Guitton ("we") is the controller of the personal data processed through PDFtoWorld. Contact our data protection contact at [email protected].
1. Data we process
- Account data: email, name, authentication provider identifiers, language.
- Documents: files you upload and the files we generate, stored encrypted and deleted automatically after 24 hours. Many free tools (image conversions, developer tools, simple PDF operations) run entirely in your browser: those files never reach our servers.
- Signature requests: the document, signers' names, emails, IP addresses and timestamps (audit trail), kept 30 days so every party can download the signed copy.
- Digital signature certificates you provide are used in memory for the signature only and never stored.
- Billing data: subscription status, invoices. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers.
- Usage and security data: tool usage, IP address, device and log data, consent records.
- Support conversations: your account, request subject and messages exchanged with our human support team. Each message is also copied by email; do not include passwords, payment card details or confidential documents.

5. Your rights
You can access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to processing of and port your data, and withdraw consent at any time. Most rights are available directly in Dashboard → Security (data export and account deletion). Otherwise write to [email protected]. You may lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL).
6. Automated processing
Document conversions and local text extraction run when you request them. Scanned documents are not sent to an external OCR service. Generative document analysis, translation and chat are not offered in this release. No decision producing legal effects about you is made by automated means.
7. Security
TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest, row-level security in our database, malware scanning of uploads, least-privilege access and audit logs.
