Privacy Policy

The short version

Your PDF files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly and Web Workers. We cannot see, access, or store your documents.

What we collect

  • Analytics events — we track which tools are used and approximate file size ranges (e.g. "1MB–10MB"). No file names or content.
  • Payment data — handled entirely by Stripe. We store your email address (from Stripe) in a signed JWT in your browser's localStorage to verify your subscription.

What we do NOT collect

  • PDF file contents
  • File names
  • Metadata from your files
  • IP address logs tied to file processing
  • Browser fingerprints

Third-party services

  • Stripe — payment processing. Subject to Stripe's privacy policy.
  • Plausible Analytics (optional, if configured) — privacy-preserving analytics with no cookies.

Your Pro token

After payment, a JWT (JSON Web Token) is stored in your browser's localStorage. It contains your email and subscription tier. It expires after 30 days. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
