Docly Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

Docly Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

In an era where digital documents contain some of our most sensitive information—financial records, legal contracts, medical reports—choosing a PDF editor isn't just about features. It's about trust. At Docly, we believe that your data belongs to you, and our privacy policy is built from the ground up to reflect that principle.

This article provides a transparent overview of how Docly handles, processes, and protects your data every step of the way.

Our Core Privacy Principles

Docly's approach to data protection is guided by three foundational commitments:

What Data Does Docly Collect?

When you use Docly's free AI PDF editor, we may collect the following categories of information:

Critically, Docly does not collect payment information directly. All transactions are handled through certified, PCI-compliant payment processors.

How We Process Your Documents

This is the question users care about most: What happens to my PDF after I upload it?

Here's our document processing commitment:

1. Encrypted Upload: All files are transmitted using TLS 1.3 encryption, the same standard used by major financial institutions.
2. Ephemeral Processing: When you use features like AI summarization or data extraction, your document is processed in an isolated, temporary environment.
3. Automatic Deletion: Once processing is complete, your document is automatically purged from our servers. We maintain zero long-term copies unless you explicitly choose cloud storage.
4. No AI Training on Your Data: Your documents are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve our AI models. Your contracts, invoices, and personal files stay completely private.

Security Infrastructure

Privacy promises mean nothing without robust security to back them up. Docly employs enterprise-grade protections including:

Your Rights and Controls

Docly gives you full control over your data. At any time, you can:

All of these actions can be performed directly from your Docly account settings—no support tickets, no waiting periods.

Third-Party Integrations

When you connect Docly with third-party services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, we request only the minimum permissions required. We never access files outside the specific folders you authorize, and you can disconnect integrations at any time with a single click.

Take Control of Your Document Privacy

Choosing the right PDF editor in 2026 means choosing a tool that respects your privacy as much as it enhances your productivity. Docly is built to do both. With zero-retention document processing, military-grade encryption, and full regulatory compliance, your sensitive files are in safe hands.
