Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

🔒 Short version: Makroly processes everything locally in your browser. We do not collect, transmit, or store your documents, annotations, or any personal data.

1. Overview

Makroly ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website https://makroly.com and the open-source PDF annotation tool available at https://makroly.com/app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (and what we do not), and how we handle it.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Makroly is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect:

  • Your PDF documents — files are loaded and rendered entirely in your browser and never transmitted to any server.
  • Your annotations or schemas — all annotation data stays in your browser's memory and is exported directly to your local machine.
  • Account or login information — Makroly requires no account, no email, and no sign-up of any kind.
  • Payment information — the Service is completely free.

3. Information We May Collect

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically collect standard server logs, including:

  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time of visit
  • Referring URL

This information is used solely for security monitoring and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is not linked to any personal identity and is not sold or shared with third parties.

4. Cookies

Makroly does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. The site may use essential session cookies required for the browser application to function correctly. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information and are not used for tracking purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Makroly is hosted on standard web infrastructure. We do not integrate any third-party analytics platforms (e.g. Google Analytics), advertising networks, or data brokers. External fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which may log your IP address as part of their CDN service — see Google's Privacy Policy for details.

6. Data Security

Because Makroly does not store or transmit your document data, there is no risk of a data breach exposing your annotated documents or PDFs. All sensitive work remains entirely on your local device.

7. Children's Privacy

Makroly is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
