Privacy Policy

At Doculabs, we care about your privacy and personal information. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to the websites, applications, and electronic communications where it appears, as well as all software, services, extensions, subdomains, and application programming interfaces related thereto (the “Platform”). The Policy describes how Doculabs Inc. and our affiliated companies (“Doculabs,” “we,” or “us”), uses Personal Information that we collect, receive, maintain, use, treat, and store about you in connection with your use of our services and the Platform. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS, USE, OR BROWSE OUR PLATFORM.

“Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. When we combine Personal Information with other information (i.e. information that does not, on its own, identify you), we treat the combined information as Personal Information.
