DocMint is local-first.

In the native DocMint apps, documents, scans, imported photos and generated PDFs are stored on your device. The native apps do not require an account and do not upload your documents to a DocMint server unless you explicitly export or share them using features outside DocMint.

The app uses the camera only when you choose to scan documents. The app can import selected photos only when you choose them.

Apple-device purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Desktop license purchases are handled by Stripe Checkout. DocMint does not store payment card details. License and refund notes are available on the DocMint terms page.

For desktop purchases, DocMint stores the email address needed to send the license code, the Stripe checkout reference, license status, and activation count. Device activation checks use a one-way hashed device identifier so a license cannot simply be resold and activated endlessly.

DocMint does not sell personal data, does not use third-party advertising SDKs, and does not track you across apps or websites.

The DocMint website uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4 and first-party privacy-safe analytics to understand page views, pricing button clicks, checkout starts, checkout errors, support/contact clicks, social/outbound link clicks and scroll depth. These website events do not include document content, scan content, payment card details or the text of your PDFs.

Website analytics are used to improve the product page, support pages and checkout flow. The DocMint app remains local-first for documents, scans, imported photos and generated PDFs.

DocMint for ChatGPT

If you use DocMint inside ChatGPT, files you explicitly provide to a DocMint tool may be processed temporarily on a DocMint server to create PDFs from images, merge PDFs, extract or split pages, rotate pages, convert PDF pages to PNG images, or prepare a PDF for sharing. Generated download links are temporary and are intended to expire automatically after one hour.

Do not use the ChatGPT version for highly sensitive documents if you need a fully local workflow. Use the native DocMint app for local-first scanning, signing, annotation and PDF editing.

The ChatGPT version does not require a DocMint account. It does not use your document contents for advertising. It should not be described as offline or on-device processing, because the requested PDF action is completed through the DocMint server.

For a practical overview of why this matters, read the local-first PDF editor guide or the offline PDF editor for Windows page.
