Is Lumin: PDF Editor, Edit, Sign, Merge, Share and Print PDFs safe?
Lumin reports PDF opening telemetry and device details to AWS Pinpoint when it opens PDFs in its viewer.
When a PDF opens in its built-in viewer, the extension reads PDF details such as file size, page dimensions, and whether the file is linearized. It adds browser, operating system, screen size, language, and an anonymous user ID, then records openLocalPDF or openOnlinePDF analytics through AWS Amplify Pinpoint.
