Core Privacy Guarantee
Client-Side RAM Sandbox • Zero File StorageAll PDF transformations occur strictly inside your local device memory using client-side WebAssembly.
1. Document Confidentiality & Zero Server Storage
DocketCrop operates on a strict zero-knowledge paradigm. All PDF parsing, coordinate cropping, geometric transformations, and page rebuilding are executed locally inside your client browser via the open-source pdf-lib engine.
We maintain no backend file storage, no staging buckets, and no temporary processing servers for user files. Once you close or reload the browser tab, all in-memory buffers are immediately reclaimed by your operating system.
2. Third-Party Advertising & Cookie Disclosures (Google AdSense)
We partner with Google AdSense and affiliated advertising networks to deliver non-intrusive advertisements that fund the free availability of our utilities.
- Google and third-party vendors use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other web properties.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve targeted ads based on your visits to our site and/or other sites across the internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or via the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page.
3. Telemetry & Anonymous Diagnostics
We may collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic telemetry (such as page load speeds, Core Web Vitals performance, and coarse browser user-agent types) solely to monitor website uptime, accessibility, and platform reliability.
4. User Accounts, PBKDF2 Security & Dodo Payments Billing Privacy
Account Data Collection: When you register on user.docketcrop.in, we store your name, email address, and a cryptographically salted PBKDF2/SHA-256 password hash. Plaintext passwords are never transmitted or stored.
Dodo Payments Billing Privacy & Zero Financial Data Storage: All payments for the Pro Subscription are processed via Dodo Payments (https://dodopayments.com/). DocketCrop does not collect, receive, or store credit card numbers, CVVs, bank routing details, or financial credentials. Only external order references and subscription validity periods are stored to credit your monthly AI token quota.
Authentication Cookies: An encrypted HTTP-only session cookie (docketcrop_user_session) is used solely to authenticate your browser across API calls and preserve access to your purchased token quotas.
