Is it safe to merge PDFs at a Cyber Cafe?

It is risky if you use installed software. Using a cloud tool like ClonyPDF in Incognito mode is safer because it doesn't create local 'Recent File' history.

Does ClonyPDF save my files?

No. We auto-delete all uploaded and processed files from our servers after 1 hour. We do not look at or store your content.

How do I remove all traces after merging?

Close the browser to clear the cache. Go to the 'Downloads' folder and permanently delete your files (Shift+Delete). Empty the Recycle Bin.

Safety First: If you are in a Cyber Café or Library, always press Ctrl + Shift + N to open an Incognito Window before uploading sensitive files.

Merge PDF on Shared/Public Computers

Using a public computer to handle personal documents (like CVs, Bank Statements, or ID Proofs) is risky. Unlike installed software which might save a copy of your file in a hidden "Temp" folder, ClonyPDF processes files in the cloud to minimize local traces.

Risk Analysis: Installed Apps vs. Online Tools

Feature	Desktop Software (Adobe/Word)	ClonyPDF (Cloud)
Temp Files	Saved on Disk	Deleted Instantly
Recent List	Visible in "Recent Files"	No History
Auto-Save	Active (Risk)	None

The "Zero-Trace" Merging Protocol

Follow these steps to ensure your data leaves the building with you:

1. Open ClonyPDF in Incognito/Private Mode.
2. Upload and Merge your files.
3. Download the merged file directly to your USB Drive (not the Desktop).
4. Close the browser window immediately to clear the session cache.

⚠️ Critical Step: If you downloaded the file to the "Downloads" folder, remember to Shift + Delete it permanently before leaving the computer.
