Your Privacy Principles

We built RedactionPDF with privacy as a core requirement — not an afterthought.

Secure Upload

All files are uploaded over encrypted HTTPS connections. Your PDFs are transferred securely to temporary cloud storage for processing.

Temporary Processing

Files are stored in temporary cloud storage only while being processed. Processing happens entirely server-side — there is no local browser-based processing.

Automatic Deletion

All files — both original and redacted versions — are automatically deleted after processing. Redacted PDFs stay available for up to 1 hour.

No AI Training

Your documents are never used to train AI models. No human review of your files occurs. Your PDFs remain private and are never shared with third parties.

Metadata Cleanup

Every redaction automatically strips PDF metadata including author, creator, creation date, and modification date. This hidden information is removed along with the content.

Permanent Redaction

Content is permanently removed at the PDF data level using PyMuPDF. Redacted content cannot be copied, searched, or recovered — it is completely eliminated, not just visually covered.

What We Collect

Uploaded PDFs

Temporarily stored during processing, deleted when retention window expires

Job metadata

File name, page count, upload timestamp — retained briefly for job tracking

Usage stats

Anonymous analytics on which pages are visited — no personal data

No personal accounts

Basic tier does not require an account — no email or login needed
