Security & Privacy
Your documents deserve the highest level of protection. With 100% browser-based processing, your files never leave your device.
100% Browser-Based = Maximum Security
Unlike other PDF tools that upload your files to servers, iReadPDF processes everything locally in your browser. This means:
- No file uploads: Your files never leave your device
- No server storage: We cannot store what we never receive
- No data retention: There's nothing to retain since files never reach our servers
- Complete privacy: Your documents remain entirely under your control
Core Security Features
100% Browser-Based Processing
All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers - not even temporarily.
Zero File Uploads
Your documents never leave your device. No network transmission of your files means no risk of interception or unauthorized access during transfer.
TLS 1.3 Encryption
All website communications use industry-standard TLS 1.3 encryption. While your files never travel over the network, all other data is fully encrypted.
No Server Storage
We don't store your files on any server, ever. Since files are never uploaded, there's nothing to store, delete, or retain.
Additional Security Measures
Browser Security Sandbox
Processing happens in your browser's secure sandbox environment, isolated from other processes and protected by your browser's built-in security features.
No Data Mining
We don't analyze, mine, or use your document content for any purpose. Your documents remain private and are never accessed by our systems.
GDPR, CCPA & Global Compliance
Our privacy-first architecture naturally complies with GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, LGPD, and other data protection regulations worldwide since we never receive your files.
Regular Security Audits
We conduct regular security audits, penetration testing, and code reviews to ensure our website infrastructure remains secure.
How Browser-Based Processing Works
You Select Your PDF
You choose a PDF file from your device using your browser's file picker.
File Loads in Browser
The file is loaded directly into your browser's memory. It never leaves your device.
Processing Happens Locally
Using WebAssembly and JavaScript, the PDF is processed entirely in your browser. No network requests are made with your file.
Result Generated on Your Device
The processed PDF is generated and made available for download - all on your device. Your original file and the result never touch our servers.
GDPR, CCPA & Global Compliance
