Privacy Policy — PDF Clean Extractor

Effective date: January 24, 2026

Overview

PDF Clean Extractor is a Chrome extension that extracts text from PDF files opened in your browser and optionally removes repeated headers and footers. The extension processes PDF content locally on your device.

Data We Process

PDF content

The extension reads PDF content from the PDF tab you choose and extracts text locally in your browser. We do not transmit your PDF content to our servers.

License key verification

If you choose to activate Pro features, the extension sends your entered license key (and a product identifier) to a license verification service hosted on Cloudflare Workers. This data is used solely to verify license validity and unlock Pro features.

Local storage

The extension stores the following data locally on your device:

• Pro activation status
• Your license key (if you activate Pro)
• Monthly usage counters

This data remains on your device unless you clear it or uninstall the extension.

Data We Collect and Share

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing. License verification requests are processed by Cloudflare as an infrastructure provider.

Security

We use HTTPS to communicate with the license verification service. While no system is completely secure, reasonable measures are taken to protect data in transit.

Data Retention

License keys and usage data are stored locally until cleared or the extension is removed. The license verification service may retain short-lived technical logs for security and abuse prevention.

Your Choices

• You can use the extension without activating Pro features.
• You can clear your license and revert to Free at any time.
• You can uninstall the extension to remove all locally stored data.
