At PDFcrest, your privacy and the security of your documents are not optional — they are the foundation of everything we build. Here is exactly how we protect your files.
All data transferred between your browser and our servers is protected with TLS/HTTPS encryption. Your files are fully encrypted in transit — always.
For the tools that require server-side processing, your file is deleted from our servers immediately after conversion completes. We do not keep, cache, or back up your documents.
Most PDFcrest tools run entirely in your browser using client-side code — your file is never sent anywhere, let alone shared with other users' data.
Your files are never shared with, sold to, or accessible by any third party. We do not use your documents for advertising, analytics, or AI training.
We collect no personal information. No name, no email, no account. Less data collected means less data at risk. This is privacy by design.
File processing is entirely automated. No human being ever views, accesses, or handles your uploaded documents at any stage of the process.
When you upload a PDF to PDFcrest, the file travels from your device to our servers over an encrypted HTTPS connection. This prevents any interception or tampering during transit.
Most PDFcrest tools run entirely as client-side code in your browser — your file never touches our servers, so there's no way for it to mix with anyone else's data. For the handful of tools that require server-side processing (PDF to Word, Word to PDF, OCR), your file is handled for that one request only and deleted immediately after conversion — it's never persisted or shared between users.
We operate a strict zero-retention policy. For tools that require server-side processing, your uploaded file is deleted the moment conversion completes — this happens automatically, no manual action needed.
Our file processing pipeline is fully automated. No PDFcrest team member ever views, reads, accesses, or handles your uploaded documents at any point — not during processing, and not for any internal review or quality control purposes.
PDFcrest does not sell, license, share, or transfer your files or any associated data to any third party — including advertisers, analytics companies, data brokers, or any other external entity.
Our servers and infrastructure are maintained with security best practices including firewall protection, regular security updates, and access controls that restrict who can interact with our systems.
Yes. Most PDFcrest tools process your file entirely in your browser — it's never uploaded to our servers. The few tools that require server-side processing use HTTPS encryption and delete the file immediately after conversion. PDFcrest does not read, store, or share your content.
Most tools never upload your file to our servers at all — everything happens in your browser. For the few tools that require server-side processing, the file is deleted immediately after conversion completes. No documents are ever stored long-term under any circumstances.

Yes — by design. Since no account or email is required, there is no personal data stored about you. This is privacy by design: less data collected means less data at risk.
