PDF Blocks Security

We designed PDF Blocks around the privacy and security of our customer’s documents and data. If you have any questions about our security ask directly to our engineers at security@pdfblocks.com.

We don’t store your documents or data

Our servers keep your documents and data only for the few milliseconds it takes to process them. We don’t keep it longer than that, and we don’t log parameters, such as passwords and watermarks, as they may contain sensitive data.

Bank-grade encryption for your data in transit

If your client supports it, we default to use the gold-standard of encryption suites:

  • TLS 1.2 protocol
  • Ephemeral Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) for the key exchange
  • RSA for verifying the ECDH parameters
  • Either 128-bit or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in GCM for bulk symmetric encryption and integrity

We also support other cipher suites and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols for compatibility.
