Security
How Dott Protects Your Documents
A clear explanation of how your documents are handled, stored, and protected across every tier of service.
Data Encryption
- All documents are encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ for every connection between your browser and Dott's servers.
- Documents submitted through the free analysis tier are processed in memory and are not stored after analysis is complete.
- Pro workspace documents are stored in encrypted databases (Supabase with PostgreSQL encryption at rest using AES-256).
- All API communications use HTTPS. Plaintext connections are rejected.
Data Retention
Free Tier
- Documents are not stored. Text and PDF content is processed in memory and discarded after the analysis response is returned.
- Analysis results (risk score, issues) are retained only if the user has an authenticated account and the result is saved to their dashboard.
Pro Tier
- Workspace data (documents, chat history, risk scores) is retained for the duration of the subscription.
- Users can delete individual workspaces and all associated data at any time from the dashboard. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
Attorney-Validated Review
- Documents submitted for attorney review are retained for the duration of the review engagement and in accordance with professional responsibility requirements applicable to the reviewing attorney's jurisdiction.
Access Controls
- All authenticated data is protected by user-level access controls. Users can only access their own documents, workspaces, and analysis results.
- API access requires authenticated API keys issued per user or organization. Keys can be revoked at any time from the dashboard.
- Attorney reviewers only access documents that have been explicitly assigned to them for review. They do not have access to other users' data.
- Internal access to user data is restricted to a need-to-know basis and is logged for audit purposes.
Infrastructure
- Compute: Hosted on Vercel (SOC 2 Type II compliant). All serverless functions run in isolated execution environments.
- Database: Supabase (SOC 2 Type II compliant), backed by PostgreSQL with encryption at rest and in transit.
- AI processing: Anthropic's Claude API (SOC 2 Type II compliant). Document content is sent to Anthropic for analysis under Anthropic's enterprise data policies. Document data is not used to train AI models.
- No third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or data brokers have access to your document content.
Professional Responsibility
- Attorney-validated reviews are conducted under attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client relationship is formed between you and the reviewing attorney, not between you and Dott.
- Reviewing attorneys are licensed, bar-admitted professionals bound by their jurisdictional rules of professional conduct, including confidentiality obligations under their state's Rules of Professional Conduct.
- Dott maintains professional liability insurance covering the attorney-validated review service.
- AI-only analysis tiers (Free and Pro) do not create an attorney-client relationship. Dott is a technology platform, not a law firm.
