Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2025

1. Introduction

DocLine ("we," "our," or "us") provides deadline intelligence and document date extraction for legal and accounting professionals. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our service at www.docline.app.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated by your use of the service:

  • Account data: When you sign up, we collect email, name, and authentication data via Clerk.
  • Payment data: Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We store subscription status and Stripe customer IDs; we do not store full payment card details.
  • Usage data: We track PDF generations, PDF analyses, and calendar events saved per billing period to enforce plan limits.
  • Calendar integration: If you connect Google Calendar, we store encrypted tokens to create and manage events on your behalf. We do not read or store the full contents of your calendar.

3. How We Handle Your Documents

We do not permanently store your documents. PDFs, HTML, scraped web content, and other uploaded materials are processed solely to extract dates and deadlines. The system analyzes this content, produces structured data (dates, titles, context), and discards the source material. We only retain structured data you choose to save—for example, dates synced to your Google Calendar. Built for professionals who need confidentiality.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and improve DocLine (PDF analysis, deadline detection, calendar sync)
  • Process subscriptions and manage your account
  • Enforce plan limits (Starter vs Professional)
  • Communicate with you about your account or support requests
  • Ensure security and prevent abuse

5. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party providers:

  • Clerk: Authentication and user management
  • Stripe: Payment processing and subscription management
  • Google: Calendar API for syncing deadlines to Google Calendar
  • Vercel: Hosting and serverless functions
  • AI/LLM providers: For temporal entity extraction and deadline detection

Each has its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing them for full transparency.

6. Data Retention

Account and subscription data is retained while your account is active. Document content is not retained. Usage metrics are kept for billing and plan enforcement. If you delete your account, we remove your data subject to legal and operational retention requirements.

7. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your data: encryption in transit and at rest where applicable, secure authentication via Clerk, and strict access controls. Google Calendar tokens are encrypted. We do not store sensitive document content.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data. To exercise these rights or ask questions about our practices, contact us at francoferreyr4@gmail.com.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of DocLine after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
