What does Confidential Send do?

It runs a local privacy pipeline: optional PII redact, Deep Clean-style metadata strip, CONFIDENTIAL watermark, and encrypt — encrypt always last when enabled.

Does Confidential Send upload my files?

No. Every step runs in your browser. You can download a privacy receipt with hashes.

How is this different from Prepare for safe sharing?

Same tool. Prepare for safe sharing is the problem-first landing; Confidential Send is the product name for the workflow. /send-confidential-pdf redirects here.

Short answer

Follow the Confidential Send checklist below: open the PDF locally, scan for PII, redact, strip metadata, compress if needed, encrypt optionally, then download with a privacy receipt. Everything runs in your browser — verify with the privacy checker before sharing.
