Ream

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

The short version

Ream processes your files entirely on your device. Your files are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with anyone — including us.

What data we collect

None. Ream itself collects no personal data. If you buy Pro, your email and payment details go to ExtensionPay (see below), never to us.

  • — No analytics or telemetry
  • — No crash reporting
  • — No usage tracking
  • — No advertising identifiers

How your files are handled

All PDF and image processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files are read from your disk, processed in memory, and the output is saved back to your disk. At no point does any file content leave your device.

You can verify this yourself: open Chrome DevTools (F12), go to the Network tab, and run any Ream operation. You will see zero outbound requests carrying file data.

Permissions

Ream requests only one browser permission:

  • storage — used only to remember your Pro license status so Pro keeps working offline. No file content is stored.

Ream has one host permission for extensionpay.com — used only to buy and verify your one-time Pro license. Ream does not contact it unless you click Upgrade or restore a purchase, and no file data is ever sent to it.

Pro license (ExtensionPay)

If you purchase Ream Pro, payment is processed by ExtensionPay (via Stripe). ExtensionPay receives your email and payment information to manage your license. Ream itself only checks whether your license is active — it never sees payment details.

Local storage

Ream uses Chrome's storage API only to hold your Pro license status (a license key, whether you have paid, and the install date), managed by ExtensionPay. Your files and their contents are never stored.

Third-party code

Ream bundles open-source libraries (pdf-lib, pdf.js, Tesseract.js). These libraries run entirely locally — they make no independent network connections.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change this policy, we will update the date above and post the new version here.
