Privacy Policy

FileHook is built around a simple privacy stance: we want to do the editing, not own your data. This page explains exactly what that means in practice.

What we collect

Files you upload. When you upload a PDF, it's stored in temporary cloud storage so we can render it back to your browser. The storage object is deleted automatically within two hours of upload.

No account, no email, no name. FileHook has no login. We don't ask for your email, name, or any identifying information. There's no user record on our side because there's no concept of a user.

Server logs. Our hosting and storage providers keep standard request logs — IP address, user agent, timestamp — for short periods to operate the service. We don't aggregate or sell these.

What we don't do

• We don't run analytics on the contents of your PDF. We don't read it, search it, or train any model on it.
• We don't embed third-party trackers (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no advertising networks).
• We don't use marketing cookies. The only client-side state we keep is in-memory editor state during your session.
• We don't sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers, because we don't collect it in the first place.

Cookies

FileHook doesn't set marketing or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider may set technical cookies necessary for the site to load (e.g. for routing), but no cross-site tracking is in place.

Where your file lives

While you're editing, your file is held in temporary cloud storage. Once two hours have passed since upload, the object is deleted by an automated cleanup job. No backups, no archive, no "just in case" copy.

Editing itself happens in your browser — keystrokes, font measurement, color sampling, and undo history all run in client- side JavaScript and never leave your tab.

Children

FileHook is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we update this policy, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes (new data collection, new third parties) will be flagged on the homepage before they take effect.
