Every file you upload to SexyPDF travels over a TLS-encrypted connection (HTTPS). This is the same level of encryption used by banks and healthcare providers. It means that nobody sitting between you and our servers — not your ISP, not a public Wi-Fi snooper, not anyone — can see what you are sending or receiving.

Once your file reaches our servers, it is processed in an isolated, ephemeral environment. Each processing job runs in its own sandboxed space that is created fresh and destroyed immediately after your file is done. There is no shared storage between users, no pooled resources, no cross-contamination.

Let us be direct: no human at SexyPDF ever sees, reads, or accesses your documents. Not our developers, not our support team, not anyone. Your files are processed entirely by automated systems.

We do not scan your documents for keywords. We do not analyze their content for advertising. We do not use them to train AI models. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data in any way. Your tax return, medical records, legal contracts, and love letters are none of our business — literally.

Every file uploaded to SexyPDF is automatically and permanently deleted within 2 hours of processing. This is not a policy we sometimes follow — it is enforced by code. There is no "keep file" checkbox, no archive, no recycle bin. When the timer expires, the file is gone.

Shared links follow the same rule. When you generate a share link, it contains a cryptographically signed expiration token. After 2 hours, the token becomes mathematically invalid — even if someone saved the URL, it will not work. The underlying file is deleted independently of the token, creating a double layer of protection.

For several tools — including Split PDF, Compress, and PDF to JPG — your files never even leave your browser. We use client-side processing powered by WebAssembly and JavaScript PDF libraries to handle the entire operation locally on your device.

This means your file is never uploaded to any server at all. It goes from your hard drive, through your browser's memory, and back to your downloads folder. Zero network exposure, zero server storage, zero risk.

SexyPDF is built with European data protection standards at its core. We follow the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, and storage limitation. In plain language: we collect only what we need, use it only for what you asked, and delete it as soon as possible.

We do not require an account to use most of our tools. No email, no name, no tracking cookies for file processing. If you do create an account, you can delete it at any time along with all associated data.

We believe security through obscurity is not real security. That is why we are transparent about the technologies we use: our share links use HMAC-SHA256 signed tokens, our file processing uses isolated temporary directories that are wiped after each job, and our client-side tools use pdf-lib and PDF.js — well-audited open-source libraries trusted by millions.
