In the modern internet, "free" often means your data is the product. Most online PDF converters store your files on their servers, often for days or even indefinitely, creating a massive security risk for sensitive documents.
At bottopdf, we took a different path. We built our platform around the Zero-Persistence Model.
What is Zero-Persistence?
Zero-persistence means that your files exist on our infrastructure only for the few seconds it takes to process them. As soon as your PDF is ready and you've downloaded it, the original data and the generated document are completely wiped from our volatile memory.
Why This Matters for You
- No Data Breaches: If we don't store your data, it cannot be stolen in a hack.
- Confidentiality: Whether you are converting legal evidence or medical records, you have the peace of mind that no human—not even our developers—will ever see your content.
- Regulatory Alignment: Our model helps you stay compliant with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA by ensuring minimal data retention.
How We Achieve This
We use advanced "transient processing" pipelines. Your file is streamed through our conversion engine, turned into a PDF, and the memory allocated for that task is immediately released and overwritten.
Choose a conversion tool that respects your right to privacy.

FAQ
Should I submit complete chats or selected excerpts?
Submit relevant, date-anchored content that supports your claim and keeps the narrative clear for reviewers.
Are screenshots enough by themselves?
Screenshots can help as supporting visuals, but export-based evidence with metadata is generally stronger.
