Privacy Policy

Traditional online PDF utility websites require users to upload confidential documents (contracts, financial audits, medical records, identification papers) to third-party cloud servers. Once uploaded, those files are vulnerable to unauthorized inspection, breach, or server logging.

Client-Side PDF Studio operates on an entirely distinct paradigm:

• Client-Side Execution: All document manipulation algorithms (combining pages, slicing page ranges, resampling graphics, applying whiteout masks, and vector signature stamps) are executed strictly in your web browser through pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist.
• In-Browser OCR: Optical Character Recognition for camera scans is powered by Tesseract.js compiled to WebAssembly (Wasm). Text detection runs on your local CPU / Web Workers without streaming raw images or recognized text back to any server.
• Sandboxed Memory: Files exist solely in volatile browser Random Access Memory (RAM) or blob URLs managed directly by your browser engine.

To eliminate any ambiguity, we explicitly declare that we do not collect, inspect, log, share, or monetize any of the following:

Because your documents are never transmitted across the network, our servers retain 0 bytes of your data. The lifecycle of your files follows these clear bounds:

• During Active Session: The documents you drop into the tool exist as temporary ArrayBuffer or Blob objects inside your active browser tab.
• Upon Reset or Tab Close: Whenever you click “Clear”, navigate to another page, or close the browser tab, the browser automatically purges the memory heap and executes garbage collection.
• No Cloud Backups: There are no server databases, intermediate cache storage pools, or recovery logs holding your files. Once destroyed, they cannot be recovered by anyone.

To run high-performance WebAssembly routines and OCR language models without excessive initial page load bundles, the tool may request static code libraries:

• PDF.js Worker & Fonts: Loaded over secure HTTPS to parse and render vector PDF pages. Only standard static JavaScript and WebAssembly code files are requested.
• Tesseract OCR Trained Data: When running OCR, language recognition matrices (such as English traineddata) are downloaded directly to your browser's IndexedDB/Cache storage. No image data is shared with the hosting CDN.

The PDF Studio suite does not place tracking cookies, advertising identifiers, or user surveillance beacons on your machine. We do not inspect user behaviour within the tool or link your document workflows to any personal profile.

Because our architecture is founded on the principle of Data Minimization and Privacy by Design:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR): Under Articles 5, 25, and 32, no personal data from your documents is processed on our servers, satisfying rigorous data protection requirements by default.
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA): We do not sell, share, or retain personal information derived from PDF files.
• Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP India): As a zero-server processor, no personal data fiduciary or processing obligations arise concerning your document contents.

While Client-Side PDF Studio ensures that your documents never leave your machine, the security of your documents depends also on your local device environment:

• Do not use public or unverified shared computers when editing confidential documents.
• Ensure your web browser is updated with the latest security patches.
• Close your browser tab after completing sensitive redactions or signature stamping.
