For Data Protection Officers

The DPO's Redaction Toolkit

Eliminate data processor risk entirely. PDF Redaction runs 100% in the browser — no data leaves the device, no servers to audit, no third-party sub-processors. Your documents stay under your organization's control at all times.

Zero Data Processing Agreement needed — we never see your data

Why DPOs Choose PDF Redaction

No Data Processor Risk

Documents never leave the browser. There is no server, no API, and no cloud storage involved in processing. You are both the controller and processor.

No Cross-Border Transfers

Since processing happens on the user's device, there are no international data transfers — no Schrems II concerns, no Standard Contractual Clauses needed.

No Sub-Processor Chain

No third-party infrastructure touches your data. No AWS, no Google Cloud, no Azure — zero sub-processors to audit, monitor, or include in your ROPA.

Simplified DPIA

Data Protection Impact Assessments become straightforward when the processing tool never has access to personal data. Risk is inherently minimized.

SAR & Erasure Ready

Redact documents for Subject Access Requests without exposing third-party PII. Process erasure requests by redacting and re-issuing documents locally.

Breach-Proof by Design

No server means no server breach. No database means no data exfiltration. The attack surface for PII exposure is reduced to zero on our side.

GDPR Compliance Mapping

How PDF Redaction's architecture satisfies key GDPR requirements by design.

Article 5(1)(f)Integrity & Confidentiality

Data processed locally — no transmission risk, no storage risk, no third-party access.

Article 25Data Protection by Design

Privacy is the architecture, not an add-on. Zero-server design means privacy is built into the foundation.

Article 28Data Processor Obligations

Not applicable — PDF Redaction never acts as a data processor since it never accesses your data.

Article 30Records of Processing

Simplified ROPA entries. No data flows to document between your organization and a processor.

Article 32Security of Processing

AES-256-GCM encryption available. All processing uses Web Crypto API with browser-native security.

Article 33-34Breach Notification

No server-side data means no server-side breach. Breach notification obligations on our side are moot.

Article 35DPIA Requirements

DPIAs are simplified — the tool's architecture inherently minimizes risk to data subjects.

Article 44-49International Transfers

No data crosses borders. Processing happens on the user's device in their jurisdiction.
