Privacy

Last updated: 25 July 2026

In short: this site sets no cookies, runs no JavaScript, loads nothing from third parties and keeps no access logs. The application itself makes no network connections at all.

This website

No cookies and no local storage. Nothing is written to your device, so no consent banner is needed.
No analytics, no tracking, no advertising. Visits are not counted, profiled or measured.
No third-party resources. The stylesheet and the screenshots are served from this domain; typefaces are the ones already installed on your system. There is no CDN, no web font service and no embedded content, so simply reading this page sends no request to anyone else.
No access logs. The web server's access log is switched off. Its error log may record an IP address when a request fails; it is rotated automatically after a short period and is used only to diagnose faults.
Hosting. The site runs on a virtual server rented from Aruba, an Italian provider, which acts as data processor for the technical operation of the machine.

Links to GitHub

The download buttons and the source links point to GitHub (Microsoft). Nothing is requested from GitHub while you read this page: data reaches them only if you click a link, and from that moment their own privacy policy applies to the connection.

The application

PDF Side Viewer runs entirely on your computer. It links no networking library and opens no connection of its own: there is no telemetry, no update check, no account and no registration. The documents you open never leave your machine.

Two actions hand an address to another program, which then acts on its own: clicking a web link inside a PDF opens it in your default browser, and SyncTeX inverse search opens your editor at the matching source line. In both cases the viewer passes the address to the system and fetches nothing itself.

Controller and contact

The site is published by Lorenzo Novara. For questions about this notice, or to exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction or objection, you can get in touch through LinkedIn or by opening an issue on GitHub.

Because no cookies are used and no access logs are retained, this site does not normally hold any personal data about its visitors.
