Privacy Policy

Overview

ReferenceFlow is a browser-based PDF viewer. Your privacy is straightforward to explain: the PDFs you load never leave your device. They are stored in your browser’s IndexedDB and are never uploaded to our servers.

Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Account information — your name and email address, collected and managed by Clerk (our authentication provider) when you create an account.
• Payment information — processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. Stripe retains payment records in accordance with their own privacy policy.
• License status — a boolean flag stored in your Clerk user profile indicating whether you have purchased a license.

What We Do Not Collect

• Your PDF files — they never leave your browser.
• Your search queries within the viewer.
• Usage analytics or behavioral tracking.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Clerk — authentication and user management. See clerk.com/privacy.
• Stripe — payment processing. See stripe.com/privacy.
• Vercel — hosting and infrastructure. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account exists. If you request account deletion, your Clerk profile and associated license metadata will be permanently removed. Payment records are retained by Stripe as required by applicable law.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at support@referenceflow.app.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
