4. Files Uploaded to Tools

When you use our Image Tools, PDF Tools, or other file-processing utilities, the following strict protocols apply:

• How they are processed: Files are securely uploaded to our temporary cloud processing servers via encrypted HTTPS connections. Many of our tools (where technically possible) process files entirely locally within your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly, meaning the file never leaves your device.
• Storage Duration: For tools requiring server-side processing, files are kept only for the duration of the processing and a short window for you to download the result (typically 1 to 2 hours).
• Automatic Deletion: All uploaded files and their processed outputs are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after the download window expires. No backups of user files are kept.
• Confidentiality: Human staff do not have access to view your uploaded files. We do not extract data from your documents for AI training or marketing purposes.
