Shared responsibility

PaperWorksPDF provides browser-based PDF tools and a user interface for local document operations. Users remain responsible for choosing appropriate documents, passwords, recipients and retention practices.

Platform and hosting protections help serve the app, while document handling choices such as sharing links, saving downloads and storing passwords remain under user control.

Local document operations

The PDF tools in this app are designed to process selected files in the browser. This reduces unnecessary document transfer for common editing, conversion and organization tasks.

Browser memory is temporary. Save completed files to a secure location and close shared-device sessions when finished.

3

Password and encryption tools

Password protection and unlocking tools use the password values you enter for the active operation. Keep passwords private and distribute them through a separate secure channel.

No tool can guarantee recovery of a forgotten password for an encrypted output file.

4

Safe use guidance

Use a current browser, avoid untrusted shared devices for sensitive PDFs, download and verify output files, and delete local copies you no longer need.

For confidential records, follow your organization’s policies before processing, downloading or sharing documents.

5

Vulnerability reporting

If you believe you found a security issue, report it from the contact page with reproduction steps, affected route and browser details. Do not include sensitive document contents in the initial report.
