Why Privacy-First Document Processing Matters in 2025
Sensitive data is shared in documents daily. Whether it's contracts, financial records, medical forms, or intellectual property, protecting this information during document processing is crucial in 2025.
The Privacy Problem with Traditional Converters
Most document converters upload your files to external servers. This creates risks:
- Your files may be stored temporarily or permanently on servers
- Third parties can access your documents without your knowledge
- Cloud services can be breached
- Data may be used for training AI or sold to advertisers
- This conflicts with GDPR, HIPAA, and other privacy regulations
What is Client-Side Processing?
Client-side processing (also called in-browser processing) runs in your browser:
- Your files never leave your device
- Processing runs entirely in your browser
- No uploads, cloud storage, or third-party servers
- Zero risk of breaches or unauthorized access
