Local tools
Local files are not uploaded to ClearPDF. Closing the tab or clearing browser state removes transient local UI state.
Deletion
Deletion behavior should be clear before processing.
Local tools do not upload files. Planned cloud, account, AI, and API flows should show retention and delete controls in the product.
Anonymous cloud jobs
Planned anonymous cloud jobs should target deletion within 60 minutes after processing.
Free account unsaved files
Planned account workflows should delete unsaved files within 24 hours by default.
Paid retention choices
Paid plans may allow 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or keep-until-deleted retention choices.
AI indexes
AI document indexes should expose delete-now controls for extracted text and embeddings.
Backups
Backup deletion expectations should be documented with realistic purge windows before cloud launch.
