• You can disable sync at any time

• Safety and Security: To protect the rights, property, or safety of PixelPDF, our users, or others
• Business Transfer: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with advance notice)

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS encryption
• Local Storage: Photos are processed locally and stored securely on your device
• Access Controls: Strict access controls for our systems and databases
• Regular Audits: Regular security assessments and updates
