dowll

At dowll, your privacy is not just a feature—it is the foundational architecture of our platform. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to minimizing data collection and maximizing your control over your documents through our localized processing approach.

1. Information Collection

We believe the best way to protect your data is not to collect it in the first place. When you use dowll, we collect only the absolute minimum information required to operate our service:

  • Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we collect your email address and basic profile information.
  • Technical Telemetry: Anonymized usage statistics (e.g., features used, browser type) to help us improve platform stability. This data cannot be traced back to individual users.

2. Data Processing (Local-First)

Zero-Upload Architecture

The core processing of your documents (Merge, Split, Compress, Edit) happens entirely within your web browser. Your sensitive files are never uploaded to our servers. They remain on your device, ensuring complete confidentiality.

Because processing is local, we do not have access to the contents of your documents, metadata, or the results of your processing actions.

3. Data Security

While your documents never leave your device, we employ enterprise-grade security for the limited data we do handle (like account credentials):

  • All data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3.
  • Data at rest (account info) is encrypted using AES-256.
  • Regular third-party security audits and penetration testing.

4. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access & Portability: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your account and associated data.
  • Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.
