Transparency about how your data is handled.
Privacy Policy
1. Zero-Upload Architecture
PDFSense operates under a strictly client-side architecture. When you select a file, it is processed entirely within your browser's memory (RAM) using WebAssembly and JavaScript.
- We do not upload your files to any server.
- We do not see, read, or analyze the content of your PDFs.
- We do not store copies of your files.
2. Data Retention
Since no data is transmitted, there is no server-side retention policy. Your files exist in your browser's memory only for the duration of your session. Once you close the tab or refresh the page, all data is instantly and permanently wiped from memory.
3. Tracking, Cookies & Advertising
We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns (pages visited, session duration, referral source). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data anonymously.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.
We do not use additional tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or analytics services beyond Google Analytics and AdSense.
