Privacy Policy

Your files never leave your device. All PDF processing happens directly in your browser.

What happens to your files

Sheafy PDF is a static website. When you choose a PDF, your browser reads it from your device into the memory of the open tab. Editing, merging, splitting, organizing, redacting, compressing and converting are carried out there by JavaScript and WebAssembly code that was downloaded with the page.

• Your PDF files and images are not uploaded to our servers or to any other server.
• We do not store, view, copy or analyze your documents. We never receive them.
• File names and file contents are not logged or transmitted.
• The processed file is created in your browser and saved directly to your device.
• When you close or reload the tab, the working copies in memory are discarded.

Accounts

There are no accounts. No login, registration or authentication is required, and we do not ask for your name or email address to use the tools.

Information the hosting provider receives

Like every website, the pages of Sheafy PDF are delivered by a hosting provider. When your browser requests a page, the provider's servers receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, and may keep it in short-lived access logs for security and reliability. This relates to loading the website itself and never includes your documents.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

The site currently sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising scripts. If privacy-respecting analytics or advertising are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated first, and any such scripts will be isolated so that they cannot access the documents you process.

Technical safeguards

The site is served with a Content Security Policy that only allows network connections back to its own address. As an additional protection, this prevents the page from sending data to other servers.

Children

The service does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
