Dokus Privacy Policy

Version 2.6, effective October 12, 2026

Your documents stay under your control. We do not receive or have access to their contents. This policy explains how Dokus handles your data.

Dokus is an independently developed app. For privacy questions or requests, write to privacy@dokus.app.

Your documents

Documents stay on your device, protected by the system's security features and the app's lock. Protection on a Mac also depends on the computer's security settings. Your biometric data never reaches Dokus.

The camera and photos are used only when you choose to scan, import or save an image. The app receives only the files you select, without access to the rest of your photo library. Scanning is processed on your device.

Sync is optional. When enabled, it keeps a copy of your documents in your private iCloud so they are available on your other devices. Apple encrypts the data, which never passes through our servers. End-to-end encryption depends on iCloud's Advanced Data Protection. Without Sync, your documents stay on your device.

Documents are excluded from device backups. We cannot recover files you have lost. When you share or export a document, that copy depends on the protection provided by the service or recipient you chose.

Usage data and crashes

We collect anonymous, aggregated statistics to improve the app, fix problems and evaluate our campaigns. These cover feature usage, technical characteristics of the device and app, general information about document organization and the source of installations, including the App Store country and Apple's campaign attribution.

These data do not include the contents or names of your documents and folders, or identifiers that could link the statistics to you or your device. We do not store your IP address.

We may also receive technical crash reports, without document content or personal data. Information that could identify you is removed on your device before sending. These reports are kept for up to 90 days.

You can disable the collection of statistics and reports with Share anonymous usage data in the app's settings. This also stops campaign attribution requests and discards data that has not yet been sent.

Messages and reviews

When you write to us or submit a review through our website, we receive the content you send, contact details requested by the form or provided by you, and context such as language, country, and app and system versions. With your consent, we use these data to handle your message or publish your review. They are stored in our infrastructure hosted on Cloudflare. We do not store your IP address.

Messages and contact email addresses are not published. Messages are kept until we delete them or you request deletion.

Reviews are moderated and may be published with the display name, country and date. They are kept while awaiting moderation or remaining published; rejected reviews are deleted. Contact email addresses are deleted when a review is removed or rejected. We may also republish public App Store reviews with the nickname used there. You can request a review's removal at any time.

Purchases

Apple processes purchases. We receive purchase confirmation without access to your payment details. Apple's Privacy Policy governs the handling of those data.

Your control and rights

You can access, correct, export and delete your documents directly in the app. To remove iCloud copies, turn off Sync on all your devices; local copies remain. Uninstalling the app removes local data but does not replace deleting iCloud copies. Purchases and refunds do not delete your documents.

To exercise your rights over messages and reviews, including access, correction, deletion or withdrawal of consent, write to privacy@dokus.app. You may also contact the competent data protection authority.

Our commitments

The app requires no account, shows no ads, does not track you across apps or sites, and does not build a personal profile of you. We do not sell your personal data.

Dokus is not intended for minors and does not knowingly collect children's data.

If this policy changes, we will update the version and date. Significant changes will be communicated in the app.
