Privacy notice
Last updated 15 November 2026. The short version: your PDFs stay on your device.
Who runs Inkfolio
Inkfolio is a free personal project run by an independent developer, who is the person responsible for this website. You can reach them at [email protected].
What stays on your device
When you open a PDF in Inkfolio, it is read and edited by code running in your own browser. The file, the pages, your drawings and your text edits are not uploaded to us or to any third party. When you press Save, the new PDF is created on your device and downloaded or saved by your browser.
What is stored in your browser
To make the app convenient, Inkfolio saves the following in your browser’s own storage (IndexedDB and local storage) on your device only:
- Recent files: a copy of each document you opened, any markup you added, and a small preview image;
- your preferences, such as theme, page tone, tool settings and recent colours;
- your signature, if you create one.
You can delete recent files from the home screen at any time, and you can remove everything by clearing this website’s data in your browser settings. We cannot see or recover this data.
What we collect
Inkfolio does not use accounts, advertising or tracking cookies, and does not run third-party analytics. The website is delivered through Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes technical information such as your IP address and request details in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Please see Cloudflare’s privacy policy for how it handles that data. All fonts and libraries are served from this website, not from other companies.
If you email us
If you write to [email protected], we will use your message and email address only to reply and to improve Inkfolio, and we will not share them. Please do not send confidential documents.
Your rights
Data protection laws such as the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR give you rights over personal data held about you, including access, correction and deletion. Because Inkfolio does not collect your documents or personal details, the only personal data we may hold is your email address and message if you write to us. You can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority, for example the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
Children
Inkfolio does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information.
Changes
If this notice changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions about it can be sent to [email protected].
