PDFilio Security & Privacy
We aim to make PDF processing simple and privacy-conscious. Processing methods and retention practices can vary by tool.
Secure Processing
PDFilio uses browser-based and server-side processing depending on the tool. The applicable processing flow varies by feature.
- Tool-specific processing
- Secure HTTPS website connection
- Processing designed around the requested task
Temporary Document Processing
Uploaded documents are processed to provide the requested result. PDFilio is not intended to operate as a permanent document-storage service.
- Temporary processing where applicable
- No permanent document-storage service
- Keep your own backup of important files
Privacy-Conscious Processing
We do not use uploaded documents for unrelated purposes. Processing practices depend on the tool you choose.
- Tool-specific data handling
- Privacy policy explains applicable processing
- Do not upload files you are not authorized to process
AI Processing Transparency
Selected AI features may use third-party AI or infrastructure providers when required to provide the requested feature. Not every PDF tool uses AI.
- AI processing is feature-specific
- Third-party processing may apply to AI features
- Review the Privacy Policy before using AI features
Our Security Approach
PDFilio provides browser-based and server-side document processing depending on the tool. Because different tools use different processing architectures, we do not promise one universal retention period or processing method for every feature.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the service. No website, network transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We do not claim certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II unless and until the applicable certification can be verified. We also avoid making unsupported claims about encryption, deletion times, or regulatory compliance.
For full details of information that may be processed, analytics, advertising, AI features, retention practices, service providers, and applicable privacy rights, review our Privacy Policy.
