Privacy Policy
RedactionPDF is a secure, online PDF redaction tool. This policy explains what happens to your documents when you use our service. Last updated: May 24, 2026.
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
Temporarily stored during processing, deleted when retention window expires
File name, page count, upload timestamp — retained briefly for job tracking
Anonymous analytics on which pages are visited — no personal data
Basic tier does not require an account — no email or login needed
