Privacy
This page is maintained by BatesTool to explain what data we handle, how we handle it, and what stays on your device.
Last updated: July 10, 2026
BatesTool stamps PDFs directly in your browser. When you drop a file into the tool, it is loaded into your computer's memory and processed with the open-source pdf-lib library. The stamped PDF and production index CSV are generated locally and downloaded to your device. Your documents are never transmitted to or stored on BatesTool servers.
The free stamping tool does not require an account, password, or payment information. We do not collect the names, contents, or metadata of the PDFs you stamp. If you email us for support or sales, we keep only the information needed to reply.
We do not retain your files or production data on our servers. Files exist only in your browser memory while the tool tab is open. Closing or reloading the tab removes them. We recommend downloading your stamped PDFs and CSV before you leave the page.
We do not use analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies. The site may set a single functional cookie to remember sidebar state if a collapsible sidebar is enabled in a future version, but the current public experience does not use it. We do not share cookie data with third parties.
We load web fonts from Google Fonts and host the application on Lovable's managed infrastructure. These providers may receive standard technical information such as your IP address and browser type when the page loads, but they do not receive your PDFs, filenames, or Bates numbers.
Because processing happens on your device, you are responsible for securing the device and the location where you save downloaded files. Keep originals and stamped copies in separate folders, use device encryption where appropriate, and follow your firm's document-handling policies.
Questions about this policy or requests about your data can be sent to privacy@batestool.com.
Direct answers about data handling, retention, and cookies.
No. All PDF processing happens inside your web browser using the pdf-lib library. Your files are read into browser memory, stamped, and downloaded directly. They are never sent to our servers or stored by us.
The free stamping tool does not require an account and does not collect personal information. We do not ask for your name, email address, or payment information to stamp a PDF. If you contact us by email, we keep only the information needed to respond.
We do not keep your files or production data. Everything stays in your browser until you close or reload the tab. Closing the tab clears the files from memory. We have no server-side logs of your document contents or Bates numbers.
We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. The site may set a single functional cookie if you use a collapsible sidebar in a future version, but the current public pages do not use it. We do not share cookie data with third parties.
We load web fonts from Google Fonts and the site is hosted on Lovable's managed infrastructure. We do not send your PDFs, file names, or production data to these providers. We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers.
Because files never leave your device, BatesTool is designed so you can process sensitive litigation documents without exposing them to a remote service. You remain responsible for securing your own device and download location.
For the free tool, simply close your browser tab. We do not retain copies. If you have contacted us by email and want your correspondence deleted, email privacy@batestool.com and we will remove it within 30 days.
