Privacy Policy

SimplyPDF is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal information:

All PDF processing happens directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers.

- Your files are NEVER uploaded to any server - Processing happens entirely on your device - Files are automatically cleared from browser memory when you close the tab - No copies of your documents are ever made or stored

This architecture ensures complete privacy and security for sensitive documents like contracts, financial statements, or personal records.
