Privacy Policy

FreePDFRedact processes all PDF files directly in your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers. All redaction operations happen locally on your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

This means:

• Your PDF files remain on your device at all times
• We cannot access, view, or store your documents
• No sensitive information is transmitted over the internet
• You maintain complete control over your data

When you use our site, basic information such as your browser type, device, and pages visited may be collected through cookies or similar technologies for analytics purposes.

These are non-identifiable and used to improve user experience and site performance.

FreePDFRedact uses Google Sign-In for user authentication. When you choose to sign in with Google:

• We collect your Google account email address, name, and profile picture
• This information is used solely for authentication and account management
• We use Firebase Authentication (a Google service) to securely manage user sessions
• Your Google credentials are never stored on our servers
• You can revoke access at any time through your Google Account settings

By using Google Sign-In, you agree to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We use the following third-party services:

• Firebase (Google): For authentication and session management
• Analytics tools (if applicable) to understand how users interact with our site

Any third-party services we use are carefully selected to respect user privacy and comply with applicable data protection regulations.

Any automatically collected information may be used for:

• Improving our website performance and usability
• Understanding user behavior and preferences
• Monitoring site traffic and usage patterns
• Identifying and fixing technical issues

Since we process all PDF files locally in your browser and do not store personal data on our servers, data security risks are minimal. Your files never leave your device during the redaction process.

However, third-party analytics providers may collect anonymized data according to their privacy policies.
