Your Privacy Matters

At Docfai, we believe in keeping things simple and transparent. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

The Short Version:

We only collect what we need to provide our service

Your data stays secure and private

You're always in control

We never sell your information to third parties

All content processing happens locally on your device — we never access your captures

Account Data vs. User Content

Docfai is built on a local-first architecture. It is important to understand the distinction between the data we store and the content you create:

Account Data (stored by Docfai)

Billing and subscription information (via Stripe)

Team membership and management data

Usage analytics and technical logs

User Content (NOT stored by Docfai)

Screenshots, screen recordings, and video captures

Generated guides, documentation, and annotations

Any files or media produced through the application

All processing of this content happens entirely on your local device

Local-Only Disclaimer: Docfai does not upload, transmit, access, or store your user content on our servers. All captures, recordings, and generated documentation remain exclusively on your local device. Because we have no access to your user content, Docfai is not responsible for the security, backup, or recovery of files stored on your device. You are solely responsible for maintaining and securing your locally stored content.
