DocuVault operates in a highly sensitive category — document management. Privacy is not bolted on; it is at the core of the product.
Data We Collect
- Email address (for registration and authentication).
- Uploaded documents and files (yours alone — we have no plaintext access).
- Anonymous app usage statistics (session duration, screen views).
- Device information (iOS version, device model, app version) — for troubleshooting.
How We Use Data

- Storing and syncing your documents in your encrypted vault.
- Making content searchable via OCR (optical character recognition).

- Data is transmitted via an encrypted channel.
- No persistent record is kept on the AI service after processing.
