Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike traditional cloud software, GoPDF is architected entirely around client-side execution using modern WebAssembly and HTML5 web workers. Consequently:

• We do not collect or view the contents, text, images, or metadata of any PDF document you process.
• We do not record file names, file sizes, or page counts on any remote server.
• We do not require account registration, passwords, email addresses, or payment cards.

2. How Document Processing Works (Technical Sandbox)

When you drag and drop a PDF into GoPDF or click "Choose Files", the file is loaded directly into your web browser's isolated sandbox environment via the browser's standard FileReader API. All operations—including merging pages, rearranging sheets, splitting ranges, and rendering visual previews—are computed locally by your CPU.

Once processing completes, a localized blob: URL is generated inside your browser session to download your resulting file. As soon as you refresh or close the tab, the memory is instantly freed by your operating system.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

GoPDF does not use tracking cookies. The only client storage mechanism we use is the browser's standard localStorage API for a single operational preference:

• theme: Remembers whether you selected Light Mode or Dark Mode.

This value contains no personally identifiable information (PII) and never leaves your browser.

4. Regulatory and Industry Compliance

Because GoPDF never accesses, handles, transfers, or stores user documents, it satisfies the strict data privacy requirements of major worldwide frameworks:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): No personal data processing takes place outside the user's jurisdiction.
• HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is never transmitted to or stored on third-party servers.
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): We do not sell, share, or monetize any personal information.

5. Open Architecture & Verification

You can verify GoPDF's zero-upload architecture at any time using your web browser's built-in Developer Tools (F12):

1. Open Developer Tools and switch to the Network tab.
2. Drop multiple PDF documents into the merge or split tool.
3. Process the files and observe the Network log: no file payload or document bytes are transmitted to any external server.
