When you use SafeDocs, we collect the following information:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and company name when you create an account
  • Payment Information: Billing details processed securely through our payment provider (we never store full credit card numbers)
  • Usage Data: Information about how you use our platform, including scan frequency and file types
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and log data for security and performance purposes

We do NOT collect or retain the actual content of your uploaded files beyond the scanning process.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

Zero-Retention File Policy

Your document security and privacy are our top priorities.

  • • All uploaded files are processed in ephemeral, isolated storage environments
  • • Files are permanently deleted immediately after scanning is complete (typically within seconds)
  • • We do not store, backup, or retain any copies of your documents
  • • Sanitized files are available for download for 24 hours, then permanently deleted
  • • Our AI models analyze document characteristics without storing actual content
  • • All file processing occurs in encrypted, secure containers

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Access Controls: Strict role-based access with multi-factor authentication for our staff
  • Infrastructure: Secure cloud infrastructure with regular security audits and penetration testing

We do NOT sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Trusted partners who help us operate our platform (payment processors, cloud infrastructure providers) under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government regulation
