Private by design. Your uploaded PDF is processed in memory to create the CSV and is not stored.
Always review before importing. Compare totals and a sample of transactions with the original statement before reconciliation, tax filing, or accounting import.
Why Capital One statements don't import into QuickBooks directly
QuickBooks imports bank data from CSV, not PDF, so a Capital One statement has to be converted first. Capital One card statements group rows by cardholder; the converter flattens them into a single transaction list. You get one clean, QuickBooks-ready ledger instead of fighting merged cells and split columns.
