Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 22, 2026

Overview

PdfPress is a macOS utility application developed by Try Hard. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how PdfPress handles your data.

Data Collection

PdfPress does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data.

No analytics or tracking SDKs are included.
No network requests are made. The app works entirely offline.
No user accounts or login are required.
No advertising identifiers are accessed.

File Processing

All PDF processing (compression, merging, splitting, conversion, watermarking, password protection) is performed entirely on your device. Your files are never uploaded to any server.

Local Storage

PdfPress stores the following data locally on your Mac:

Operation history: A record of operations you have performed (operation type, file names, sizes, timestamps). This data is stored in your local Application Support folder and never leaves your device. You can clear this history at any time from the Stats view.
User preferences: Settings such as default compression profile, output suffix, and appearance theme. Stored via macOS UserDefaults.

Notifications

PdfPress may request permission to send local notifications to inform you when long-running operations complete. This is entirely optional and can be disabled in System Settings at any time. No notification data is sent to any server.

App Sandbox

PdfPress runs in the macOS App Sandbox. It can only access files you explicitly select or drag into the app. It cannot access your files, contacts, calendars, or other data without your direct action.

Third-Party Services

PdfPress does not use any third-party services, SDKs, or frameworks that collect data. It relies exclusively on Apple system frameworks (PDFKit, AppKit, SwiftUI).

Children's Privacy

PdfPress does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. Since PdfPress collects no data, changes are unlikely.
