Questions
Where is my password stored?+
Nowhere. Encryption happens in your browser and the password is never transmitted or saved.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every PDFOnCall tool runs inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That is also why it finishes in seconds instead of waiting in an upload queue.
