Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories. For each, we explain what we collect and why.

What we do NOT collect:

• We do not purchase personal data from data brokers or third-party sources.
• We do not collect biometric data, precise geolocation, or health information.
• We do not collect data from children (see Children's Privacy below).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Providing the Service— To operate SuperDocs, process your documents, deliver AI-assisted features, and maintain your session and document state across visits.
• Account Management— To create and manage your account, verify your identity, and process subscription changes.
• Usage Tracking— To track your AI operation usage against your subscription tier limits (Free: 500 ops/month, Plus: 2,000 ops/month, Pro: 10,000 ops/month, Enterprise: custom).
• Service Improvement— To understand how the Service is used in aggregate, identify issues, and improve functionality. We analyze usage patterns in aggregate form, not at the individual document level.
• Security and Abuse Prevention— To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues.
• Communication— To send you essential service notifications (e.g., password resets, usage limit alerts, service updates) and occasional re-engagement nudges related to documents you have already created on the platform (e.g., “your draft is still here — pick up where you left off”). Every re-engagement email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. We do not send promotional or marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.
• Legal Compliance— To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.

What we do NOT do with your information:

• We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
• We do not use your personal data for targeted advertising.
• We do not share your document content with other users or organizations unless you explicitly choose to do so.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Where we rely on legitimate interest, our interest is in operating a secure, functional, and improving service. We balance this against your rights and do not use legitimate interest for any processing that would be unexpected or intrusive.

4. AI and Document Processing

SuperDocs uses AI technology to provide document editing, analysis, and generation features. This section explains how your data interacts with our AI systems.

How AI processing works:

• When you use AI features (such as asking the AI to edit, analyze, or generate content), the relevant portions of your document and your instructions are sent to our AI service provider for processing.
• The AI processes your request and returns a response, which SuperDocs then applies to your document.
• AI processing occurs only when you actively use AI features. Simply editing a document manually does not trigger AI processing.

Your data and AI model training:

• We do not use your documents, prompts, or AI-generated content to train any AI or machine learning models.
• Our AI service provider is contractually prohibited from using your data to train their models when processing is performed through paid service tiers.
• Our AI service provider may retain prompts and responses for a limited period (up to 55 days) solely for the purpose of abuse monitoring and enforcing their usage policies. This retention is handled by the provider, not by SuperDocs, and is subject to the provider's data handling practices.

Content ownership:

• You retain full ownership of all content you create, upload, or generate using SuperDocs, including any AI-assisted or AI-generated content.
• We claim no intellectual property rights over your documents or their contents.

AI-generated content disclaimer:

• Content generated or modified by AI features is provided as assistance. SuperDocs does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or legal sufficiency of AI-generated content. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying all content before use.

5. Data Storage and Security

Where your data is stored:

• Your data is stored on secure infrastructure provided by Google Cloud Platform, located in the United States.
• We are actively expanding our regional hosting options to serve customers globally. For current regional availability, contact hello@superdocs.app.

How we protect your data:

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
• Encryption at rest: Data stored in our database infrastructure is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption.
• Authentication security: We use Firebase, a Google-operated authentication service, to manage user authentication. Passwords are never stored in plain text.
• Access controls: Access to production systems and customer data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
• Infrastructure security: Our cloud infrastructure provider maintains industry-recognized security certifications, including SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO 27001 compliance.

What we cannot guarantee:

• No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we implement industry-standard measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate SuperDocs. For each, we describe the general purpose and link to their privacy documentation.

Our commitments regarding third-party services:

• We maintain appropriate data processing agreements with our service providers.
• We select providers that maintain industry-recognized security standards and certifications.
• We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
• We review our third-party service providers periodically to ensure they continue to meet our security and privacy standards.

7. Data Sharing

We share your personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: With the third-party services listed above, solely to operate the Service. Each provider processes data only on our behalf and under our instructions.
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request. We will notify you of such requests where legally permitted.
• Safety and rights protection: To protect the rights, safety, or property of SuperDocs, our users, or the public, including enforcing our Terms of Service.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. In such an event, we will notify you before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• With your consent: When you explicitly direct us to share your data (e.g., sharing a document with another user or third party).

We do not:

• Sell your personal data to any third party, under any circumstances.
• Share your document content with other SuperDocs users or organizations without your explicit direction.
• Provide your data to advertisers or data brokers.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal data:

Response timeline: We will respond to all privacy rights requests within 30 days. If we need additional time (up to 60 additional days for complex requests), we will notify you of the extension and the reason.
