Privacy Policy for Docomments

Last updated: February 2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Docomments was built with a "Privacy by Design" approach. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data without your knowledge. The core functionality of the app runs entirely on your device.

2. Data We Collect

Docomments processes all data locally on your Mac. We do not operate any servers that receive your data. Specifically:

Document data: All comments and annotations are stored locally on your device. We never have access to your documents or their contents.
No analytics or tracking: The app does not include any analytics frameworks or tracking tools.
No advertising: The app contains no advertising networks.

3. In-App Purchases (RevenueCat)

Docomments uses RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases. When you make a purchase, RevenueCat processes the following data:

An anonymous app user ID (generated automatically, not linked to your identity)
Purchase status
Transaction history related to the app
Device type and operating system version

RevenueCat acts as a data processor on our behalf. No personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address) is shared with RevenueCat. All purchase transactions are handled securely through Apple's App Store infrastructure.

For more information, see RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/

4. Apple App Store

When you download or purchase Docomments through the Mac App Store, Apple processes your transaction data according to their own privacy policy. We receive anonymized and aggregated sales data from Apple but have no access to your personal Apple ID or payment information.
