Privacy statement

Privacy for the site and the desktop app.

This page covers the document.bot marketing site and the Document.Bot desktop beta. The short version: the product is built to work on local files first, we do not sell your data, and document content only leaves your device when you explicitly use an online AI provider or optional telemetry path.

Local-first

Workspace indexing, local settings, and offline model workflows are designed to run on your device.

User-controlled AI

Remote AI traffic depends on the provider you choose. Local providers like Ollama and LM Studio stay in environments you control.

Optional telemetry

Anonymous telemetry is enabled by default in the beta and can be turned off in Settings.

1. Scope

This statement applies to:

  • the document.bot website hosted on Cloudflare Pages;
  • downloads distributed from the document.bot domain or related Cloudflare-hosted URLs;
  • the Document.Bot Electron desktop beta.

2. What the website collects

The landing site is a static marketing site. It does not currently run first-party ad trackers, marketing pixels, or a signup system. If you simply visit the site, the main data processed is standard web request data needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser information, referrer, and request timing.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, so Cloudflare may process standard delivery, caching, and security logs on our behalf.

3. What the desktop app stores locally

Document.Bot is designed as a local-first document workspace. When you use the desktop app, the app may store data locally on your device such as:

  • workspace paths and workspace metadata;
  • local thread history, settings, and app state;
  • locally configured API keys and provider settings;
  • local search and indexing data used to search your workspace faster;
  • locally cached models or model assets used for offline indexing and retrieval.

The app indexes supported files in your workspace so you can search and use AI across real folders. That indexing data is intended to remain local unless you explicitly use a remote provider or remote service.

4. When document content may leave your device

By default, the value of Document.Bot is that it can work directly on local files and with local or self-hosted AI setups. But the app also supports online providers. If you configure and use a remote AI provider, data may be sent to that provider to complete your request.

  • Examples include providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or ChatGPT Login.
  • Depending on the workflow, this can include prompts, selected instructions, retrieved excerpts, converted text, and other content needed to answer your request or propose document edits.
  • If you use Ollama, LM Studio, or another local or company-hosted endpoint, data stays within that environment subject to your own setup.
Remote AI providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. If you connect a remote provider, you are choosing to send data to that provider for that workflow.

5. Telemetry, crash reporting, and feedback

The beta includes anonymous telemetry to help improve reliability and product quality. In the current app build, this is enabled by default and can be turned off in Settings → Privacy.

Telemetry currently includes:

  • anonymous product analytics through PostHog;
  • crash and error reporting through Sentry;
  • privacy-masked session replay for beta debugging, which is automatically disabled while using offline local providers such as Ollama and LM Studio.

If you manually send feedback through the app, that submission may include the message you provide, your name and email address, and debugging context such as app version, selected provider, error identifiers, and related runtime metadata.

6. Update checks and downloads

Beta builds may contact a document.bot-controlled update endpoint to check whether a newer version is available for your platform and beta channel. This update check is used to return version metadata and a download link. It is not intended to upload your workspace documents.

App downloads and related release files may be served through Cloudflare-hosted storage and CDN infrastructure.

7. Security and retention

We try to keep sensitive document work local wherever possible. Local settings and local indexes remain on your device unless you remove them or uninstall the app. Third-party telemetry and AI providers may apply their own retention periods once data is sent to them.

Because this is a beta product, you should avoid uploading or sending data to remote providers unless that matches your own policy requirements.

8. Your choices

  • Use local providers such as Ollama or LM Studio if you want to avoid cloud AI traffic.
  • Turn off anonymous telemetry in the app settings if you do not want analytics or crash reporting.
  • Remove the app and its local data from your device if you no longer want to use the beta.
  • Do not connect remote AI providers unless you want that provider to process your requests.
