Privacy by Design (Article 25)

DocuStitch was engineered from the ground up to exceed GDPR requirements. By moving PDF processing from the server to the local browser environment, we eliminate the need to collect, store, or process personal data on our infrastructure.

1. We Are Not a Data Processor

Under the GDPR, a "Processor" is an entity that processes personal data on behalf of a controller. Because DocuStitch performs all operations using WebAssembly (WASM) within your browser, your documents never touch our servers.

Technically, DocuStitch acts as a "Static Content Delivery Service." We provide the software (the WASM engine), which your browser executes locally. Therefore, no data transfer occurs between your machine and our infrastructure during document processing.

2. Data Sovereignty

Data sovereignty is the principle that data is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located. With DocuStitch, your data never leaves the territory or the hardware it originates from.

Zero Uploads: No documents are sent to our servers.
Zero Storage: We do not have a database of your files.
Zero Logs: We do not log the content or metadata of your documents.

3. Your Rights (Standard of Compliance)

While we don't store your data, we fully support the spirit of the GDPR:

Right to Erasure

Since we never store data, erasure is instantaneous simply by closing your browser tab.

Data Portability

Your processed files stay in your local memory, ready for immediate download to your designated storage.

4. Sub-Processors

To provide this website, we use a limited number of sub-processors for hosting and essential infrastructure:

Vercel / Cloudflare: For global content delivery (CDN). Only your IP address and standard connection metadata are processed to serve the website files.
Google Analytics / AdSense: For site usage monitoring and monetization. This data is anonymized and does not include document contents.

5. Contact Data Privacy Officer

Although DocuStitch does not process document data, we take privacy seriously. If you have questions regarding our GDPR posture, please contact our privacy team at hello@docustitch.app.
