Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

EditBox PDF is designed around local, privacy-first document processing. We respect your privacy and want to be completely transparent about how your files and browser data are handled.

1. Local Document Processing

Your PDFs, images, ID card scans, and CV data are processed directly inside your web browser using client-side technologies. Your files are never uploaded to our servers for merging, splitting, compressing, rotating, editing, signing, watermarking, numbering, converting, or generating CVs.

• Extract Text (OCR): When you run OCR, your browser downloads the required OCR language model data files (such as English, Bengali, or Italian traineddata) from a public CDN so text recognition can run locally in your browser. Your documents themselves remain on your device.
• Optional AI Writing Assistant (CV Maker): If the optional AI writing assist feature in the CV Maker editor is enabled and you explicitly click the AI assist button, only the short text prompt you submit for improvement is sent to our server endpoint to generate writing suggestions. Normal manual CV creation and PDF export work 100% locally without any network requests.

2. Local Browser Storage

EditBox PDF does not require user accounts and does not store your documents in any cloud database. Browser storage (localStorage and IndexedDB) is used strictly on your device for:

• Saving your Light / Dark theme preference.
• Saving your drawn or uploaded signatures in the PDF editor so you can reuse them later on your own device.
• Saving custom fonts you upload in the PDF editor for reuse.
• Optionally saving your CV draft locally if you turn on the "Save draft on this device" switch (off by default, and removable at any time with the delete button).

3. Cookies and Future Advertising

EditBox PDF does not currently display advertisements or load third-party advertising scripts. If advertising (such as Google AdSense) is enabled in the future, Google and third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

When ads are active, you can opt out of personalized advertising or manage your ad preferences at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com).

4. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of any personal data, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Because EditBox PDF processes your documents locally in your browser and does not create user accounts or retain uploaded files, you stay in direct control of your data and can clear local browser storage at any time via your browser settings.
