Who We Are

AuraNotes is an independent browser-based tool created by Ryan Kamboj (Team Ryan). It is a personal project built to help students — especially medical students — convert dark-themed lecture slides into clean, print-ready PDFs.

AuraNotes is not a company. There is no corporate entity, no VC funding, no monetisation strategy. It is a free tool made by a student, for students.

What Data We Collect

We collect nothing. AuraNotes does not have a backend server that receives your files or any usage data.

Specifically, we do NOT collect:

  • Your PDF files or their contents
  • Your name, email, or any account information
  • Your IP address
  • Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
  • Usage analytics or behavioural tracking data
  • Cookies (we set none)
PDF processing uses PDF.js (Mozilla) and pdf-lib — both run entirely in your browser tab as JavaScript libraries. No data is transmitted over the network during processing.

How Your Files Are Processed

When you upload a PDF to AuraNotes:

  • The file is read into your browser's memory using the File API.
  • PDF.js renders page thumbnails directly on HTML Canvas elements inside your tab.
  • pdf-lib applies any merging, layout, and output generation — all in-memory.
  • The processed PDF is offered as a download directly from your browser via a Blob URL.
  • When you close or refresh the page, all data is discarded from memory.

At no point does any file content travel over a network connection to any server operated by AuraNotes or anyone else.

Third-Party Services

AuraNotes loads a small number of external resources to function:

  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) — loads the Outfit, DM Sans, and Bungee typefaces. Google may log the font request. No personal data beyond a standard HTTP request is involved.
  • cdnjs.cloudflare.com — serves the PDF.js and pdf-lib JavaScript libraries. Cloudflare may log CDN requests per their standard infrastructure logging.

    • None of these services receive your PDF content. These are static asset requests only.

Cookies & Local Storage

AuraNotes sets zero cookies and writes nothing to localStorage or sessionStorage.

All application state (uploaded files, settings, progress) exists only in JavaScript memory for the duration of your browser session and is discarded when you leave or refresh the page.

Contact & Email

If you email Ryan at artistryanstudios@gmail.com for support, your email address and message content will be used solely to respond to you.

Your email will not be added to any mailing list, sold to any third party, or used for any marketing purpose. AuraNotes has no marketing operations.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy ever changes in a meaningful way, the updated version will be posted here. Given the nature of AuraNotes (no data collection, no backend), significant changes are unlikely.

This policy was written in plain language on purpose. If anything is unclear, email Ryan and he'll explain it.
