Security

The engineering version, for people who want to check the math.

Everything on the Trust page, with the technical detail a security team or a lawyer would want. Plain-English first, specifications second.

Here's what a security review would want to see: when your PDF needs server-side processing, it moves over an encrypted link, lands on a server with narrow role-based access, gets processed, and gets deleted inside an hour. Our production systems are locked down with multi-factor auth and audit logs. We have a written incident-response plan, and a real email where you can report anything that looks wrong. The grid below is the specification side of that story.

In transit
Your uploads and downloads travel over TLS 1.3 with modern cipher suites. HSTS is on, HTTP is redirected to HTTPS, and you never reach the app over a plain connection.
At rest
Any short-lived server-side copy of your file sits on AES-256 encrypted disks and is deleted within 60 minutes. Keys are rotated on a managed schedule; locally saved PDFs stay inside your browser's storage until you clear them.
Access control
Your document content is not reachable by our team by default. Production access is least-privilege, gated by role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication, and only a narrow on-call group can touch the systems that hold a file in flight.
Audit logs
We log admin authentication, infrastructure changes, and access to storage backends. Your task activity is never logged with document content — only anonymous timing and error telemetry, which you can opt out of.
Incident response
We have a written response plan covering detection, containment, customer notification, and post-incident review. If your data is materially affected, you hear from us within 72 hours of confirmation. Pen tests and supplier reviews are on a recurring schedule.
Reporting vulnerabilities
If you find a security issue, email security@pdfclarity.com with a reproduction path. A real human triages your report, replies with an acknowledgement, and follows up with a fix timeline. Coordinated disclosure is welcome.
