 ## Functionality Overview
 
 The newly introduced feature enhances the application with robust database backup and import capabilities. This feature is designed to ensure data integrity and provide a straightforward way to manage database backups. Here's how it works:

 [Stirling-PDF](https://www.stirlingpdf.com) is a robust, locally hosted web-based PDF manipulation tool using Docker. It enables you to carry out various operations on PDF files, including splitting, merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application has evolved to encompass a comprehensive set of features, addressing all your PDF requirements.
 
+Stirling-PDF does not initiate any outbound calls for record-keeping or tracking purposes.
+
 All files and PDFs exist either exclusively on the client side, reside in server memory only during task execution, or temporarily reside in a file solely for the execution of the task. Any file downloaded by the user will have been deleted from the server by that point.
