KAOpdf Privacy Policy

Following the strict principle of Data Minimization, we only process the technical data strictly necessary to fulfill the operations you initiate. Here is the full, transparent breakdown:

• File Names & File Sizes: When you select a file, your browser reads its file name and byte count solely to display it within the UI (e.g., thumbnail badges, compression savings calculators). This metadata is never stored in any persistent user database or linked to personal identities.
• Document Contents: For client-side utilities, files execute 100% inside your local device RAM without crossing external networks. For server conversion tools, files are transmitted via TLS 1.3 to private microservice containers and permanently purged upon completion.
• AI Features (Chat PDF / Ask AI / Summarizer): When engaging with AI document tools, relevant text excerpts are parsed and transmitted via secure, encrypted API tunnels to Google Gemini Enterprise endpoints. Transmitted text is strictly processed ephemerally in real-time and is never stored, archived, or utilized to train external machine learning foundation models.
• Anonymous Performance Telemetry: We record high-level aggregate statistics (e.g., total daily tool runs, browser distributions) to ensure server stability and capacity planning. This data contains zero personally identifiable information (PII).
• Voluntary User Feedback: If you voluntarily submit suggestions on our feedback page, we store the star rating and feedback message with a timestamp. No email address is required.

KAOpdf deploys an innovative Hybrid Privacy Architecture separating client-side in-browser computing from dedicated conversion microservices:

We enforce strict zero-tolerance retention windows to ensure no persistent file copies exist:
