Privacy Policy

At LocalPDF, your privacy is our foundational principle. We do not upload, store, analyze, or sell your documents.

All PDF processing—including splitting, merging, redacting, compression, text extraction, and protection—happens100% locally within your own web browser. Your files never touch our servers. They exist solely in your device's temporary memory.

Because our application runs offline as a Progressive Web App (PWA) client-side tool, we do not oblige you to create accounts, logins, or provide personal information to use the core features.

We utilize standard, anonymized web analytics and third-party advertising services (such as Google AdSense) that collect basic, non-personally identifiable metrics (e.g., browser type, session duration, language preference) to maintain the platform infrastructure and serve sustainable, relevant ads. This telemetry is governed entirely by the privacy frameworks of those respective providers.

Any document passwords you enter for the "Protect PDF" module are utilized strictly in-memory by your device's hardware to encrypt the file symmetrically. We cannot view, intercept, log, or recover these passwords under any circumstances.

Engineering progresses rapidly. We may deploy updates to this Privacy Policy as we engineer and release new client-side features. We encourage you to review this architecture summary periodically.
