Security & Privacy

Contracts, tax forms, and legal agreements are sensitive. Here is how PDFCAN guarantees confidentiality: by keeping your files right inside your browser.

In-Browser Client-Side Processing

PDF rendering, text detection, and font manipulation run directly inside your web browser.
Your PDF files never leave your device during editing — no remote server buffering or external parsing queues.
High performance 60fps rendering without waiting on network uploads or file conversion pipelines.

Signatures & Private Data

Drawn and typed digital signatures are stored in your browser's private storage (IndexedDB).
Signatures are rendered directly into the PDF's vector stream upon export.
No third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels run on PDFCAN.

Zero Data Retention by Default

Documents edited anonymously in your browser stay isolated to your browser session.
Closing the tab or clearing browser data removes all local cached sessions.
Nothing you edit is ever used to train AI models or shared with third parties.

Encryption & Transit

All connections use TLS 1.3 with Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enabled.
When using cloud document backup (Pro/Team accounts), files are encrypted both in transit and at rest.
Account passwords are encrypted using scrypt hashing with cryptographic salts — plaintext passwords are never stored.
