PrivacyFold provides client-side file and privacy utilities ("file tools that never see your files"). Our core privacy promise is a technical guarantee, not a marketing slogan:
100% In-Browser Execution: All document conversions, photo crops, PDF flattening, image compression, metadata stripping, OCR parsing, and cryptographic operations run entirely inside your browser's local memory (RAM).
Zero Server Uploads: No file, document, photo, or text content that you open or process in PrivacyFold is ever uploaded to our servers or any backend server.
No Server Infrastructure: PrivacyFold operates as static assets hosted on Cloudflare Pages. There are no processing workers, no databases, and no cloud storage buckets to hold your files.
2. Advertising and Third-Party Notices
To keep PrivacyFold freely accessible without charging subscriptions or locking tools behind paywalls, we display advertisements via Google AdSense.
Honest Disclosure: Pages that display advertisements load script assets from Google (such as pagead2.googlesyndication.com). These scripts may collect standard browser telemetry and cookies in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
No File Data Access: Google AdSense scripts never access, read, or receive the contents of the files, images, or documents you process on PrivacyFold. All file processing happens in isolated client-side memory.
Consent Management: For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland, consent choices are gathered before any personalized advertising cookies are placed. You may adjust your choices at any time below.
3. Local Storage
PrivacyFold uses your browser's localStorage solely to remember local preferences, such as your dark/light theme setting and desk paper texture preferences. No personal identifiers or file records are stored in local storage.
4. Self-Hosted Assets
All typography and styling assets are self-hosted on our domain. We do not use external font CDNs or analytics scripts that transmit user file data.
