Cookies & Analytics

WipePDF uses no cookies. For anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (e.g. how often a page is viewed), we use the analytics service GoatCounter — no cookies, no personal data, no profiling. We only collect the page viewed, the referrer, a rough location (country), and browser/OS category. More information: GoatCounter's privacy policy.

Local Processing

The tool processes your PDF entirely inside your browser — page display, pattern/regex search, redaction, and export all happen on your device. The optional text recognition (OCR) that restores searchability on redacted pages also runs entirely client-side via WebAssembly. At no point is a PDF file, an image excerpt, or recognised text ever uploaded to or stored on a server.

Hosting (Netlify)

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA). Loading the page technically requires storing server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamp). Netlify participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information: netlify.com/privacy.

Google Fonts

This website loads fonts via Google Fonts (Google LLC, USA), which technically transmits your IP address to Google. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a consistent visual presentation). Google participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework: policies.google.com/privacy.

Third-Party Libraries (CDN)

To process PDFs in your browser, WipePDF loads the JavaScript libraries pdf.js, pdf-lib, and Tesseract.js from the jsDelivr CDN (Prometheus NV, Netherlands/Switzerland). Loading these files technically transmits your IP address to jsDelivr; your PDF content itself never leaves your browser. For text recognition, Tesseract.js additionally downloads language data from its own CDN (Tesseract.js/Naptha project) — again, only the language model is transferred, never your document content. More information: jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. Since we do not collect personal data ourselves, these rights generally apply only to data held by the third parties listed above. For requests: robert.musil@robikett.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In Austria: dsb.gv.at. In the EU generally, your local supervisory authority.
