How PatchPDF protects your work.

PatchPDF minimizes what leaves your browser and excludes document content from product analytics.

Full PDF stays in your browser

During the hosted beta, the source and edited PDF remain in browser memory.

Encrypted connections

Information sent for an edit travels over encrypted HTTPS connections.

Temporary editing sessions

Each editing session uses temporary access credentials. No account or cloud document history is created.

No document content in analytics

Analytics excludes PDF names, text, selections, instructions, prompts, and responses.

Operational monitoring

Operational logs are retained only as needed to secure and troubleshoot the service.

Current limitations

What PatchPDF does not claim.

PatchPDF has not completed an independent security audit and does not currently claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA compliance, end-to-end encryption, or zero retention. Provider certifications are not PatchPDF certifications.

Do not use the hosted editor for documents containing highly sensitive identity, health, or financial account information.
