Security
Security & privacy at Dott
How we protect the documents you trust us with.
Encryption
- TLS 1.2+ protects all data in transit between your browser and Dott's servers.
- Data at rest is encrypted via Supabase managed encryption.
- Files are stored in private storage buckets with row-level security policies enforced at the database level — only the authenticated owner can access their files.
Access controls
- Only the authenticated user can access their documents and analyses. Storage RLS policies enforce this at the database level.
- Signed URLs with short expiry are used for any file download — a link that works today does not work tomorrow.
- No Dott employee browses user documents in the normal course of business.
- Admin access is scoped to licensed attorneys and Dott staff, and is logged.
What we share, and what we don't
- Dott does not share user data with employers, recruiters, advertisers, or third parties for marketing purposes.
- AI analysis runs against the Anthropic API under standard data processing terms — content is processed for the user's analysis and is not used for model training.
- Attorney connections through the Dott network are handled under privilege. Your information is shared with the attorney only with your explicit consent.
- We never contact your employer about your use of Dott.
Retention and deletion
- Users can delete documents and analyses at any time from their dashboard. Deletion is permanent.
- Account deletion removes all associated data from our systems.
- Automatic retention windows can be set per user preference.
Subprocessors
The following third-party services process data on behalf of Dott users:
- Vercel — application hosting and edge delivery

- Stripe — payment processing
- Resend — transactional email

Dott is a SaaS platform, not a law firm. While we apply law-firm-grade care to confidentiality, the attorney-client privilege only attaches when you engage an attorney directly through our network or independently. Use of the AI analysis tool alone does not create an attorney-client relationship.
