What the Burn After Reading Policy Means for You
Every document uploaded to PostMyDoc goes through a strict 3-step process
Step 1 — Upload
You upload your PDF securely through our encrypted checkout. Your document is transmitted using 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by banks and financial institutions. Nobody can intercept it in transit.
Step 2 — Print & Post
Your document is printed once by our team and prepared for dispatch. It is never shared, stored unnecessarily or viewed beyond what is required to complete your order. It is then sealed and posted via Australia Post to your recipient.
Step 3 — Delete
Within 24 hours of your order being completed, your document is permanently and automatically deleted from our systems. No copies are retained. No backups. No archives. Gone.

Why We Built It This Way
PostMyDoc exists to handle documents that matter — legal correspondence, medical records, financial statements, formal notices, personal letters. These are not files you want sitting on someone else’s server.
Most digital services retain your data indefinitely. We built PostMyDoc differently from the ground up. The Burn After Reading Policy isn’t a feature we added — it’s a core architectural decision baked into how the service works.

How It Works — The Technical Details
For customers who want to better understand the implementation – those little technical details.
Encryption in Transit 🔏
All file uploads use HTTPS with 256-bit SSL encryption. Your document cannot be intercepted between your device and our server.
Secure Storage 💾
Uploaded documents are stored in a restricted server directory that is not publicly accessible. Files cannot be accessed via direct URL — they require authenticated server-side access only.
File Type Validation 📂
Only PDF files are accepted. File type is validated server-side — not just in the browser — before any upload is processed.
Automated Deletion 🗑️
A scheduled automated process runs every 24 hours and permanently deletes all uploaded documents associated with completed orders. This is not a manual process — it happens automatically regardless of whether our team takes any action.
No Third-Party Access 🙅♂️
Your documents are never shared with third parties, advertising networks or data brokers. The only external service that processes your order data is Stripe for payment — and Stripe never receives your document.
What We Do Keep
In the interest of full transparency — here is what we do retain after your order is complete:
- Your name and email address — for order confirmation and customer service
- Your recipient’s delivery address — for order records
- TYour order details — print type, postage service, page count and payment record
- Payment information — processed and stored securely by Stripe
We do not retain your document. Ever.
““We built PostMyDoc because we needed this service ourselves and couldn’t find it. We know what it feels like to trust a company with something important. That’s why the Burn After Reading Policy isn’t just a marketing line — it’s a commitment we’ve built into the technical architecture of the service itself.”
