Privacy policy

Last updated August 2026.

The short version

Your PDF never leaves your device. All password guessing happens inside your browser. We do not receive, upload, store, or have any way to see your files or the passwords found.

What we do not collect

• Your PDF file or any of its contents.
• The recovered password.
• Your name, date of birth, or any pattern you type — these stay in your browser.

What we do collect

When a recovery finishes, your browser sends a single anonymous signal to our server: either "recovered" or "failed". This increments a public counter so we can show a success rate. It contains no file, no password, no personal data, and no identifier.

Like most websites, our web host may keep standard server logs (IP address, timestamp, page requested) for security and basic analytics. These are not linked to any file activity.

Cookies

The public tool sets no tracking cookies. The admin area uses a single session cookie purely to keep the administrator logged in.
