🔒 Enterprise-Grade Privacy: All file processing happens in your browser. We never see, store, or access your data.

How VeriDiff Works

A technical deep dive into our browser-based file comparison technology that keeps your data completely private and secure.

❌ VeriDiff Does NOT Use AI

We are not an AI company. VeriDiff uses traditional, deterministic comparison algorithms to show you exactly what changed between your files. No machine learning, no artificial intelligence, no "analysis" of your content. Just precise, mathematical comparison of data structures.

Browser-Based Processing Architecture

Step-by-Step: What Happens to Your Files

1

File Selection (Local Only)

You select files from your computer using your browser's file picker. Files remain on your device - no upload occurs.

2

Browser Memory Loading

Your browser reads files into temporary memory (RAM) using the FileReader API. Files are never transmitted anywhere.

3

Format Parsing & Structure Extraction

JavaScript libraries (SheetJS, mammoth.js, etc.) parse file formats in your browser to extract data structures - spreadsheet cells, document paragraphs, table rows.

4

Algorithmic Comparison

Custom JavaScript algorithms compare data structures using mathematical operations: string matching, numerical tolerance checking, structural difference detection.

5

Results Display & Export

Differences are highlighted in your browser and can be exported as HTML reports. Everything stays local - no server communication.

Technical Implementation

📊 File Format Libraries

  • SheetJS: Excel (.xlsx, .xls) parsing
  • PapaParse: CSV processing with error handling
  • mammoth.js: Word document (.docx) extraction
  • PDF.js: PDF content parsing

⚡ Comparison Algorithms

  • Exact matching: Character-by-character comparison
  • Fuzzy matching: Tolerance-based numerical comparison
  • Structure diff: Row/column alignment detection
  • Semantic mapping: Header-based field matching

🔒 Privacy Architecture

  • No uploads: Files never leave your device
  • No storage: Data cleared when you close browser
  • No tracking: We cannot see your file contents
  • HTTPS only: Encrypted connection to our app

Browser Processing vs. Traditional Solutions

❌ Traditional Cloud Solutions

  • File Upload Required: Your sensitive files are transmitted to unknown servers
  • Server Processing: Files are processed on company-controlled infrastructure
  • Data Storage: Files may be cached, logged, or stored temporarily
  • Third-Party Access: Cloud providers, employees, or government entities may access data
  • Compliance Risk: GDPR, HIPAA, SOX violations possible
  • Internet Dependency: Requires fast upload/download speeds

✅ VeriDiff Browser Processing

  • Zero Upload: Files remain on your device at all times
  • Local Processing: Your browser does all the computational work
  • No Storage: Data is cleared when you close the browser tab
  • Complete Privacy: We literally cannot see your file contents
  • Compliance Ready: Meets highest data protection standards
  • Works Offline: Process files without internet (after initial load)

Security & Compliance Benefits

🛡️ Regulatory Compliance

GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS compliant by design. Since files never leave your browser, there is no data transfer, storage, or processing on our servers that could violate regulations. Perfect for financial services, healthcare, and legal industries.

🔐 Zero Trust Architecture

Do not trust us with your data - you do not have to. Our architecture makes it technically impossible for us to access your files. Even if we wanted to (we do not), or if we were compromised, your data remains secure.

🏢 Enterprise IT Approval

Passes corporate security reviews. IT departments can audit our open architecture and verify that no data exfiltration is possible. No special firewall rules, VPN requirements, or security exceptions needed.
