Everything in your own browser
Merging, splitting, compressing, signing, protecting, converting and recognising text: it all happens in your browser, on this device. Your files don’t go to a server of ours or anyone else’s. Handig PDF doesn’t even have a server that could receive them: the site technically allows no outgoing connections.
What Handig PDF does fetch
Handig PDF only loads the heavy parts when a tool needs them, always from its own address: the PDF reader, the font it puts into PDFs and the language data for recognising text. That’s fetching, never sending. Your browser keeps the language data so it doesn’t have to fetch it again next time.
Passwords and signatures
A password you put on a PDF or use to open one, and a signature you draw or type, only exist in your browser while the page is open. Handig PDF doesn’t keep them.
What you send on yourself
Whatever Handig PDF makes is an ordinary file in your downloads. If you send it on, it goes through your email or your storage, and their rules apply.
Technical logs
Like every web server, our hosting provider keeps short technical logs (such as IP address and time of a page visit) to keep the site running safely. They contain no files. We don’t use those logs to track visitors.
