Privacy Policy
Contents
1. What we do and don't collect
What we do not collect:
- The content, images or PDF/JPG output of the documents you scan
- Text extracted with OCR
- Signatures you add to documents (eSign)
- Your folders, document titles and archive structure
This content is processed and stored only on your device; it is not transmitted to us.
Limited data we may process:
- Anonymous usage and diagnostic data — aggregate/anonymous statistics that cannot be linked to your identity (for example, which screens are opened, crash reports), used to improve the stability and features of the app. This data does not include your document content.
- Subscription status — subscription information tied to an anonymous user identifier, processed through the payment providers to verify your purchase and trial status (see sections 4–5).
- Optional account identity — if you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, a user identifier used only for authentication. This sign-in does not upload or sync your documents.
2. Your document data stays on your device
Doculy is a "local-only" app. Scanning, cropping, applying color modes, OCR text recognition and signing all happen on your device, offline. No process — including the OCR engine — sends your document content to the internet. Your documents are kept in the app's storage on your device; they do not leave it unless you choose to share them.
When you send a document through the system share sheet (email, messaging, a cloud drive, etc.), that content is transferred to the app/service you select and is then governed by that service's privacy policy.
3. Permissions
Doculy only requests the permissions it needs to function:
- Camera — to scan documents. Images are processed only on your device.
- Photos / Gallery — to import an existing image and turn it into a scan.
- Files — to import PDFs or images and save output.
- Notifications (optional) — for reminders and updates; you can decline.
You can revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.
4. Third-party services
Doculy may use the following services for limited purposes:
- Apple App Store / Google Play — app distribution and subscription purchases.
- RevenueCat — managing and verifying subscription and purchase status (with an anonymous identifier).
- Anonymous analytics / crash reporting provider — aggregate, de-identified usage and stability data.
- Apple / Google Sign-In (optional) — for authentication only, if you choose to sign in.
These providers only process the data needed for their function and have no access to your document content.
5. Subscriptions and payments
Doculy offers a 3-day free trial followed by a weekly subscription. Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never see or store your card details. Your subscription status is verified through RevenueCat to unlock features. Billing, renewals and cancellations are managed in the account settings of the respective store.
6. Tracking transparency (ATT)
On iOS, the app may request tracking permission under the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. All core features of Doculy work even if you decline. If you decline, no cross-device tracking identifiers are used.
7. Data retention and deletion
Your documents remain on your device until you delete them. Deleting a document or folder within the app removes it from your device. Uninstalling the app deletes all document data stored on the device. Anonymous analytics data is retained in aggregate form according to the provider's retention periods.
8. Children's privacy
Doculy is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from this age group.
9. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete and object to the processing of your data. Because your document data lives on your device, you are in direct control of it (deletion, export, etc.). For requests regarding anonymous data or your account identity, you can contact us (section 11).
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. For material changes we will notify you within the app or on this page. The current version is always available here; check the "Last updated" date at the top.
