Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

PDF Redaction ("we", "our", "us") is built with privacy as a core principle. Our document redaction service processes all documents locally on your device. Your documents are never uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted through our servers.

Data We Process

Document Processing

All document analysis and redaction occurs entirely within your browser or local environment. We do not:

  • Upload your documents to any external server
  • Store copies of your documents
  • Transmit document content over the internet
  • Access the content of your documents
  • Log or track the PII found in your documents

Account and Contact Data

If you create an account or contact us, we may collect your name and email address solely for the purpose of providing account services and responding to your inquiries. This data is stored securely and never shared with third parties.

Usage Analytics

We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (such as page views and feature usage counts) to improve our service. This data contains no personally identifiable information and cannot be linked back to individual users.

Your Rights

Under applicable privacy laws (including GDPR and CCPA), you have the right to:

  • Access - Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
  • Correction - Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Deletion - Request deletion of your personal data
  • Objection - Object to processing of your personal data
  • Restriction - Request restriction of processing
  • Portability - Request transfer of your data in a machine-readable format
  • Withdraw Consent - Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services for hosting (Vercel) and analytics. These services have their own privacy policies and may collect limited technical data such as IP addresses and browser information. We do not share any document content or PII detection results with third parties.

Data Security

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect any data we collect. Our local-processing architecture means your sensitive documents never leave your control, providing the highest level of data security possible.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
