Are external API used to display a PDF using "Embed API"

I'm investigating if I can use "Embed API" at my job and one of the requirements is related to whether or not the file being displayed is sent to an external api.

 

Is it the case with "Embed API"?

    That is not the case with Embed API.

     

    PDF Embed API is a client-side JavaScript- and WASM-based library and does not make any calls to cloud-based services. There are only three purposes for which the API makes network calls:

    • Validating the client ID specified in JavaScript code upon loading
    • Logging event data for out-of-the-box analytics and a pre-configured analytics dashboard, if given an Adobe Analytics report suite ID by the PDF Embed API integrator
    • Loggin anonymous usage data in Adobe Analytics for internal use by Adobe for product improvement and feedback.
