Data handling#

mdcraft keeps uploads and generated results privately by default to help improve conversion quality over time.

What may be retained#

• uploaded source files
• extracted Markdown
• generated export outputs
• conversion metadata used to understand failures and improve the product

Why this exists#

Retention helps mdcraft:

• diagnose failed conversions
• improve formatting quality
• reduce repeated extraction mistakes
• build a stronger conversion engine over time

Privacy posture#

• Stored artifacts are kept in private storage.
• Access is server-controlled rather than publicly exposed.
• Sensitive documents should not be uploaded unless you are comfortable with them being retained for product improvement.

Third-party processing#

Some conversions may use third-party OCR or AI providers when needed for document extraction or recovery. This is most relevant for scanned PDFs and image-based files.

Practical advice#

If a document is highly sensitive, confidential, or regulated, treat that as a reason not to upload it until your own legal and procurement requirements are satisfied.
