Dokus Privacy Policy
Version 1 — effective July 1, 2026
Dokus is a personal wallet for your identity documents. This policy explains, plainly, what happens to your data. The summary fits in one sentence: **your documents are yours, they stay on your device, and we have no access to them.**
Who we are
Dokus is developed by João Cunha. For anything related to privacy, write to privacy@dokus.app.
What we don't do
- We never receive, store, or process your data or documents.
- We don't collect, sell, or share your data.
- We use no trackers, analytics tools, ad networks, or third-party SDKs.
- We don't ask for an account, login, email, or any information from you to use the app.
Where your documents live
- On your iPhone: documents are encrypted in the app's protected area (iOS data protection) and access is guarded by Face ID. Neither the app nor the person who develops Dokus can read your files.
- In your iPhone's iCloud backup: if you keep Apple's iCloud Backup turned on — as most iPhones do — Dokus's data is included in that backup, which is encrypted and managed by Apple in your iCloud account. This is a feature of iOS itself, not something Dokus does. You can exclude Dokus from that backup in Settings › [your name] › iCloud.
- With Sync (a paid feature), when you turn it on: your documents are mirrored to your private iCloud space so they're available on your other devices. That data lives in your iCloud account, encrypted by Apple; Dokus has no access to that space. If you enable Apple's Advanced Data Protection, the encryption is end-to-end.
Sharing between people (a paid feature)
If you choose to share a document with another person, it travels through Apple's iCloud directly between the two of you; it never passes through us. You can end the sharing at any time; when you do, the document is no longer accessible to the other person.
How to delete your data
- On the device: delete the document in the app, or uninstall Dokus.
- In iCloud (Sync): when you turn Sync off in the app's settings, we remove your documents from iCloud; local copies remain on the device. Residual copies in backups follow Apple's retention policies.
- In the iCloud backup: this is managed by Apple; you control it in iOS Settings.
Canceling or letting your subscription expire does not delete any document — neither from your iPhone nor from your iCloud. Only you can delete them.
Your rights
Because we don't keep or process your data, you exercise your rights directly in the app and on your device: access, correct, export, and delete your documents at any time, without depending on us. Depending on where you live, the law expressly grants you these rights:
- Brazil (LGPD): access, correction, deletion, portability, and information about processing. Data contact: privacy@dokus.app.
- European Union and United Kingdom (GDPR): access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, and objection.
- California, USA (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know, to delete, and to opt out of the "sale/sharing" of personal data. Dokus does not sell or share personal data.
For any request or question, write to privacy@dokus.app.
Purchase data
Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never receive your card number or payment details — only Apple's confirmation that a subscription is active. Apple's handling of that data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Children
Dokus is not intended for minors and does not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and, when the change is significant, notify you inside the app.
