Privacy Policy

Your data stays with you — always

Last updated: April 24, 2026

🛡️ Local Processing Only

PDF Mate processes all PDF files entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server, cloud service, or third-party API. We do not have access to your PDF content, file names, or any metadata.

✓ All processing happens locally in your browser
✓ Your files never leave your computer
✓ We cannot access your PDF content

🔐 No Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or share your personal information or PDF files. The extension operates entirely offline after installation. The only network requests made are for license verification (if you choose to activate Pro features via Gumroad).

💾 Browser Storage

We use the browser's local storage API to save your license key and preferences. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

  • License key (for Pro users)
  • Theme preference (light/dark mode)
  • Recent activity history

🌐 Third-Party Services

License verification is handled by Gumroad. When you activate a Pro license, your license key is sent to Gumroad's servers (api.gumroad.com) for validation. This is the only external service we interact with.
