Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 8, 2026

1. Introduction

DocHub ("DocHub", "we", "us", or "our") is an all-in-one document productivity application designed to help users view, manage, edit, scan, convert, sign, organize, and enhance documents, primarily PDF files.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding information collected through the DocHub mobile application and any related services.

By using DocHub, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on the features you use, DocHub may process the following categories of information.

2.1 Documents and Files

DocHub may access documents and files that you intentionally select, import, scan, create, edit, convert, sign, or otherwise process through the application.

These files may include PDFs, images, Word documents, spreadsheets, and other supported document formats.

DocHub does not access files on your device unless the application or operating system grants the required permission and you initiate an action that requires access.

2.2 Camera Information

If you use the document scanning feature, DocHub may request access to your device camera.

Camera access is used to capture documents and images for scanning, processing, OCR, or document creation.

DocHub does not continuously access your camera or record video in the background.

2.3 Photos and Media

If you choose to import images or documents from your device, DocHub may request access to the relevant photos or media.

Access is limited to functionality that you initiate within the application.

2.4 Account Information

Certain future features may allow you to create or sign in to an account. If account functionality is enabled, we may collect information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Account identifiers
• Authentication information
• Cloud synchronization information

2.5 Device and Technical Information

We may receive limited technical information required to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the application.

This may include:

• Device type and model
• Operating system and version
• Application version
• Crash information
• Diagnostic information
• General performance information

3. How We Use Information

Information processed by DocHub may be used for the following purposes:

• Providing document management functionality
• Viewing and editing PDF files
• Scanning physical documents
• Performing OCR and extracting text
• Creating and applying digital signatures
• Converting documents between supported formats
• Organizing and managing files
• Providing AI-powered document features
• Synchronizing documents when cloud features are enabled
• Protecting the security and integrity of the application
• Diagnosing crashes and technical problems
• Improving application performance and functionality
• Providing customer support

4. Document Privacy

Your documents may contain sensitive or confidential information. DocHub is designed to process documents only when necessary to provide the functionality you request.

Where processing can be performed locally on your device, the document may remain on your device and may not need to be uploaded to our servers.

However, certain features, including optional cloud synchronization, online OCR, AI-powered processing, or third-party services, may require document data to be transmitted to an external service.

You should review the applicable service information before submitting confidential or sensitive documents to online processing features.

5. OCR and Document Scanning

DocHub may provide OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality to extract text from scanned documents or images.

Depending on the implementation of the feature, OCR processing may occur locally on your device or through a third-party processing service.

If a third-party OCR service is used, the relevant document or image data may be transmitted to that service solely for the purpose of providing the requested OCR functionality.

6. AI Assistant and Chat with PDF

DocHub may provide AI-powered features such as document summarization, document question answering, and "Chat with PDF".

When you use an AI feature, selected document content or text may need to be processed by an AI service in order to generate a response.

We recommend that you do not submit highly sensitive, confidential, or legally privileged information to AI features unless you are comfortable with the applicable processing arrangements.

AI-generated responses may contain inaccuracies and should not be treated as professional legal, financial, medical, or other expert advice.

7. Digital Signatures

DocHub may allow users to create, save, and apply electronic signatures to documents.

Signature images or signature-related data may be stored locally on your device or, where applicable, within an enabled cloud account.

Users are responsible for protecting access to their device, account, and saved signatures.

8. File Storage

Documents created or imported into DocHub may be stored locally on your device.

The application may also support optional cloud storage and synchronization through third-party providers such as Google Drive or Dropbox.

When you choose to use a third-party cloud provider, your files may be subject to that provider's privacy policy and terms of service.

9. Third-Party Services

DocHub may use third-party services to provide specific functionality, including analytics, crash reporting, authentication, cloud storage, OCR, AI processing, advertising, payments, or other infrastructure.

These third-party providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Examples of services that may be integrated into DocHub include:

• Google services
• Google Drive
• Firebase services
• Google ML Kit
• Google Cloud services
• Dropbox
• Advertising services
• Payment and subscription providers

The exact third-party services used may change as DocHub develops.

10. Advertising

DocHub may display advertisements in certain versions or areas of the application.

Advertising providers may collect certain information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, approximate location, and interaction information in accordance with their own policies and applicable laws.

Where required, DocHub will request appropriate permissions or provide available choices regarding personalized advertising.

11. Subscriptions and Payments

DocHub may offer paid subscriptions, premium features, or other purchases in the future.

Payments may be processed through platform providers such as Google Play or the Apple App Store.

DocHub does not directly receive or store your complete payment card number when payment is processed through these platform providers.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through DocHub against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Security features may include:

• Application PIN protection
• Biometric authentication
• Secure local storage
• Encryption where supported
• Secure network communication
• Access controls

However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Data Retention

Locally stored documents generally remain on your device until you delete them or remove the application, subject to your device's storage and backup mechanisms.

Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to their respective privacy policies and retention practices.

14. Data Deletion

You can generally delete locally stored documents, signatures, and other application data through DocHub or your device settings.

If account-based or cloud functionality is introduced, users may be provided with additional options to request deletion of account information and associated cloud data.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law, security requirements, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other legitimate purposes.

15. Children's Privacy

DocHub is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization where required by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.

16. Your Choices

Depending on your device and the features you use, you may control:

• Camera permissions
• Photo and media permissions
• File access permissions
• Notification permissions
• Biometric authentication
• Cloud synchronization
• Personalized advertising preferences

You can generally change application permissions through your device's settings.

17. Offline Processing

DocHub is designed with an offline-first approach for supported core document functionality.

Features that do not require an internet connection may process information locally on your device.

Online functionality, including cloud synchronization, online AI, online OCR, advertisements, account services, or other network-based features, may require an internet connection.

18. International Data Transfers

If third-party services or cloud providers are used, information may be processed or stored in countries other than your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international data transfers.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in DocHub, applicable laws, technologies, or third-party services.

When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be updated.

We encourage users to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
