Privacy Policy
Matt's PDF Suite is committed to providing quality services to you and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information.
We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information.
A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au/.
What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual.
Local Processing Guarantee
Unlike many other PDF tools, Matt's PDF Suite processes your documents locally on your device. We do not upload, store, or view the PDF files you process using our tools (Merge, Split, Redact, etc.). Your documents never leave your computer.
However, we do collect certain technical Personal Information to maintain and improve our website services. Examples of Personal Information we may collect include:
- IP addresses
- Cookie data
- Browser and device usage statistics
This Personal Information is obtained in many ways including via our website (Matt's PDF Suite), from cookies, and from third parties.
We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of:
- Providing our services to you
- Analyzing website traffic and performance (via Google Analytics)
- Displaying relevant advertising (via Google AdSense)
Sensitive Information
Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.
We do not collect Sensitive Information from you. As your PDF files are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers, we do not have access to any Sensitive Information that may be contained within your documents.
Third Parties
Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties.
Google Analytics & AdSense
We use third-party services, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your interactions with our website.
This data helps us understand how our tools are used and allows us to provide the free service through advertising revenue.

Disclosure of Personal Information
Your Personal Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the following:
- Third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure (such as our analytics and advertising partners); and
- Where required or authorised by law.
Security of Personal Information
Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
We prioritize your security by designing our tools to function client-side. This means the actual processing of your sensitive documents happens in your browser's memory, ensuring that your files are not transmitted over the internet to our servers.
Access to your Personal Information
You may access the Personal Information we hold about you and to update and/or correct it, subject to certain exceptions. If you wish to access your Personal Information, please contact us in writing.
Matt's PDF Suite will not charge any fee for your access request, but may charge an administrative fee for providing a copy of your Personal Information. In order to protect your Personal Information we may require identification from you before releasing the requested information.
Maintaining the Quality of your Personal Information
It is an important to us that your Personal Information is up to date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that your Personal Information is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
If you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate, please advise us as soon as practicable so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.
