Simple, plain-language privacy
We believe your PDFs and annotations are your business. LeedPDF is private by design.

What we collect
Privacy-first analytics: We use cookieless Vercel Analytics and privacy-focused PostHog analytics to improve the app. EU users (and those we can't locate) see a consent banner and can decline completely—the app works perfectly either way.
Local by default
Your PDFs and annotations stay on your device. When you open a file, it’s processed locally. If you choose to use the web version, your files are handled in your browser—no server-side processing.
Optional features
Some features use trusted third-party services:
- PDF Sharing: Uses Appwrite cloud storage (secure, encrypted)
- File Import: Optional Dropbox integration for convenience
- Regional Pricing: ParityDeals for fair, location-based pricing (only shown to selected regions on web app to Windows users only)
All integrations are optional and clearly labeled. Your files are only shared when you explicitly choose to use sharing features.
Open source transparency
The entire codebase is open source. If you’re curious about how something works, you can read the code—or ask the community.
