How it stays on your device
Every Eden app says the same thing: your data stays on your device. This page explains exactly how that works — and how you can check it for yourself.
Where your work lives
On the web, an app saves your work in your browser's own local storage — the plan you're building, the invoice you're drafting, the document you're editing. On iPhone and iPad, it lives in the app's own storage on the device. There's no account to create and nothing to sync, because there's nowhere else for it to go.
There's no server holding your content
Eden Apps runs no server that receives what you create. Your numbers, text, and files are processed on your device and handed straight back to you. Nothing about them is uploaded — so there's no copy of your work sitting somewhere else, and nothing to breach.
The one time an app reaches the network: Pro
An app reaches the network in just a couple of situations — buying Pro, or checking an unlock you already have. That goes through the payment provider (RevenueCat with Stripe on the web, and Apple's App Store on iPhone and iPad) and carries only what's needed to handle a purchase, like the email for your receipt. The work you create is not part of it. Those providers may collect their own diagnostics while processing the transaction; your documents, numbers, and files are not. (One more, only in Local PDF on the web: the first time you use text recognition, it downloads its engine once from our own site — carrying none of your files.)
The extensions work the same way
The Chrome extensions run in your browser. Each one asks only for the permissions its single job needs, and lists them in plain language on its own privacy page. Whatever an extension reads to do its work — a page's text, a cookie banner, a video's transcript — is handled in the moment, in your browser, and isn't sent anywhere.
Worth stating plainly, since it surprises people: the summarizing extensions build their summaries on your device, with a built-in summarizer. There's no AI server, and nothing is uploaded to be read.
Don't take our word for it
You can watch it happen:
- Open your browser's Network tab (right-click → Inspect → Network) and use the app. Outside of buying or restoring Pro, you'll see it make no requests carrying your data.
- Or turn on Airplane Mode and keep working. Aside from buying or restoring Pro — and, in Local PDF on the web, that one-time text-recognition download — it all keeps running, because the rest happens on your device.
That's the difference between a promise and something you can verify.
