Privacy laws require legal basis and minimization when processing personal data. When you upload a PDF with IDs, addresses or health data to a converter site, you are transferring personal data to a third-party operator.
Privacy by design
PDFX is built to not be an operator of your PDF content: processing runs on your device. This simplifies internal DPIAs and reduces incident surface.
Team checklist
- Does the PDF contain personal data?
- Does the vendor require upload?
- Is there a client-side alternative?
- Must the result be auditable on a server?
