EU processing with storage you control
We process documents in the EU. Keep them in managed storage with configurable retention, send them to your own bucket, or use stateless mode to process them in memory without persistence.
Storage and security options
Choose where files go and how long they remain available.
Hosted in Germany
We process all data in Frankfurt, Germany. Our infrastructure stays within the European Union and complies with GDPR requirements.
- EU-based infrastructure (Frankfurt)
- GDPR-compliant processing
- No data transfers outside EU
- German data protection standards
Flexible storage
Choose managed storage with configurable retention, your own bucket, or stateless processing that keeps documents in memory only.
- Managed storage with configurable retention
- Stateless mode via storage: "memory" parameter
- No content persisted in stateless mode
- Full control over your data lifecycle
Bring your own bucket
Send generated PDFs directly to your AWS S3 bucket, where you control the documents and access policies. Support for more providers is planned.
- Direct upload to your AWS S3 bucket
- Your encryption, your keys
- Full access control
- GCP, MinIO & more coming soon
Control your data
REST requests default to stateless, in-memory processing, while MCP requests default to managed storage. Set the storage mode per request when you need BYOB or a different retention policy.
- Document content excluded from usage logs
- Stateless mode via storage: "memory"
- Managed storage with retention policies
- Usage and error metadata retained

Processing, retention, encryption, and logging at a glance.
Bring your own bucket
With BYOB, generated PDFs go directly to your AWS S3 bucket. Your encryption keys, access policies, and compliance controls apply, and we do not retain the files after generation.

}Security questions
Details about processing, retention, BYOB, and GDPR.
Where is my data processed?
All data processing occurs exclusively in our Frankfurt, Germany infrastructure. Your HTML content and generated PDFs never leave the European Union.
Is my document content stored?
The default depends on how you connect. REST requests process PDFs in memory without persisting them. MCP requests use managed storage with configurable retention. You can override either default per request or use Bring Your Own Bucket to store PDFs in your own AWS S3 bucket. Support for more providers is planned.
How does BYOB work?
With Bring Your Own Bucket, you provide your AWS S3 bucket credentials. Generated PDFs are uploaded directly to your storage, bypassing our infrastructure entirely for file storage. Support for GCP, MinIO, and other S3-compatible providers is coming soon.
What data do you retain?
Usage logs contain API call timestamps, credit consumption, error details, and request metadata, but not document content. In memory mode, generated files are not persisted. Managed storage keeps the PDF and, where available, searchable text until the configured retention period ends.
Is the service GDPR compliant?
Yes. Our infrastructure stays within the EU, and the storage model is GDPR compliant. For zero-retention requirements, select stateless mode in the request. We can provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) upon request.
Can I get a DPA?
Yes. Enterprise customers can request a Data Processing Agreement. Contact us at support@pdf-mcp.io for more information.
Have a compliance question?
Contact us about enterprise compliance requirements, DPA requests, or security questionnaires.
