MyPDF is designed with business privacy in mind:

• No account required: No employee data stored

• No file storage: Documents are never stored permanently
• Browser-based: Files are processed and returned — nothing lingers on servers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MyPDF secure enough for business documents?

Yes. All file transfers are encrypted, files are auto-deleted after 15 minutes, and documents are never stored permanently. For highly classified documents, consider offline tools.

Can my whole team use MyPDF?

Yes. There are no per-seat charges, no team plans, no account management. Every employee simply visits MyPDF and uses any tool immediately.

Are electronic signatures from MyPDF legally valid for contracts?

Yes, in most jurisdictions. The US ESIGN Act and EU eIDAS regulation recognize electronic signatures for business contracts. For additional security, flatten and protect the signed document.
