LocalEdit ("we", "us", "our") is a browser-based, offline-first PDF editor. All PDF processing happens entirely within your web browser on your own device. Your documents are never uploaded to our servers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
We collect zero document data. PDF files you edit, merge, split, or convert are processed exclusively on your local device. No file content, filename, or derived metadata is ever sent to or stored on our servers.
We use Simple Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated website usage data (e.g., page view counts, general geographic region, browser type). No personally identifiable information is collected. No cookies are set by our analytics provider. Simple Analytics is fully GDPR-compliant.
We use essential cookies on our website for basic functionality, such as remembering your language preferences. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
LocalEdit is powered by browser-side libraries (PDF-lib.js, PDF.js, WebAssembly modules) that operate entirely on your device. No document data passes through these services to external servers.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
Your files are processed locally and never transmitted to our servers, providing the highest level of document security possible. We implement reasonable security measures to protect any site-level data we do collect.
Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete such data.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The "Last Updated" date reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
