About PDF Privacy Guard

PDF tracking, viewer intelligence, and secure document sharing — all in one place.

Our Mission

Most people send a PDF and never know what happens next. Did the client read the proposal? Did the candidate open the contract? Did they spend any time on it at all?

PDF Privacy Guard was built to answer those questions. We give document owners full visibility into who viewed their files, how deeply they engaged, and when to follow up — paired with the access controls to make sure only the right people see the right documents.

What We Do

Upload a PDF, configure your sharing settings, and send a secure link. Every time someone opens it, you get a real-time record — who they are, how long they read, which pages they focused on, and whether they came back. Access controls ensure the document stays protected from the moment it leaves your hands.

Who It's For

PDF Privacy Guard is used by freelancers and consultants who send proposals, sales teams tracking pitch deck engagement, recruiters sharing candidate documents, lawyers distributing contracts, educators protecting course materials, and any professional who sends PDFs that matter and wants to know they were actually read.

Privacy

Viewer data is collected only when document owners enable tracking features. We never sell or share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
