VersaPDF Privacy Policy

01 Architectural Principles: Privacy by Design

Unlike legacy online converters that transmit files over HTTP endpoints to remote processing clusters for transformation, VersaPDF implements an air-gapped, zero-knowledge client-side architecture:

• Client-Side Sandbox Execution: All document manipulation engines (pdf-lib, WebAssembly bytecode, Canvas renderers) are loaded into your web browser. File processing runs entirely inside local device RAM.
• Zero Document Network Payloads: No network packets containing your document streams are ever transmitted to our servers or any third-party infrastructure. This behavior can be verified at any time in browser Network DevTools.
• Instant In-Memory Disposal: Documents exist only as in-memory ArrayBuffers. Closing or refreshing your browser tab immediately frees the allocated memory via browser garbage collection.

02 Zero Server Retention Policy: Absolute 0-Second Window

Many cloud tool services claim in their policies that "files are purged after 1 or 2 hours from our servers." During that retention window, files remain vulnerable to multi-tenant cache leaks, internal operational access, and cloud storage compromise.

03 Technical Logs Collected by Edge Infrastructure

To ensure high availability, fast global caching, and defense against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, our edge hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare CDN) records standard HTTP access logs. These logs never contain document data and include only:

• Server Access Logs: Internet Protocol (IP) address and coarse geographical location (country/city level), browser User-Agent, device type, operating system, access timestamps, referring URL, requested static asset paths, and HTTP status codes.
• Local Storage: We utilize browser LocalStorage strictly for functional UI preferences (such as language selection). This data never contains personally identifiable information and is never transmitted.

04 Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense Disclosure)

To keep VersaPDF freely accessible to the public without paywalls or subscription fees, we display advertisements served by Google AdSense. In compliance with Google's publisher policies and digital advertising standards:

• Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites across the Internet.
• Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Industry Self-Regulation Opt-Out: Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor\'s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the aboutads.info choices page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out page.

05 Global Data Protection Rights (GDPR & UK GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:

• Right of Access: The right to request copies of any personal data held about you.
• Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of inaccurate data or deletion of personal data.
• Right to Erasure: The right to request deletion of personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Restrict or Object: The right to restrict or object to our processing of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: The right to request transfer of your data to another organization.

Because we require zero user accounts and store zero document interaction data on our servers, we hold virtually no personal data linked to specific named individuals.

06 California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are entitled to specific disclosures:

• No Sale of Personal Information: VersaPDF does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information for monetary or other commercial consideration.
• Right to Know & Delete: You have the right to request disclosure of personal information collected and request its deletion.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

07 Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

VersaPDF is designed as a productivity tool for general audiences and does not target or knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you believe such data has been transmitted, please notify us immediately for prompt removal.
