How does Scriptation handle file security?

Scriptation doesn't have access to any PDF files you annotate or read within the app. Your files stay on your device or in your cloud — they're never stored on Scriptation's servers.

We understand how important file security is. Many of our users work under NDAs and on content-sensitive productions, where file security is critical.

This is because Scriptation is one of the only digital production applications that doesn't store personal data or files on its servers, nor does it have any independent server that syncs files. We leave that to the professionals.

📝 NOTE: For Team and Enterprise users collaborating with Live Layers, annotation data is temporarily stored on our servers as a necessity of the sharing infrastructure. The PDF documents connected to those annotations are not stored. We use Amazon Web Services for this single task — the most trusted name in cloud computing.
