1Introduction
Replik Media Pvt. Ltd ("we", "our", or "us") operates the DocShare mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use DocShare.
By using DocShare, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the application.
2Information We Collect
Account information: When you register, we collect your name and either your email address or phone number to create your account.
User content: Files, documents, images, and messages you upload or send through DocShare are stored in encrypted form on our servers.
Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with the app, including features used, session duration, and crash reports.
Device information: We collect device identifiers (FCM token), operating system version, and device model to deliver push notifications and improve compatibility.
Communications: Chat messages and call logs are stored in our database to provide the messaging and calling features.
3How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the DocShare application
- Authenticate your identity and secure your account
- Deliver push notifications for incoming calls and messages
- Enable file sharing, chat messaging, and audio/video calls
- Monitor and analyse usage patterns to improve performance
- Respond to your support requests and communications
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security breaches
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
4Data Storage & Security
Your files and documents are encrypted using AES encryption before being stored. Encryption keys are managed such that only authorised users can access their content.
We use Google Firebase (Firestore) to store chat, call, and document data, and industry-standard HTTPS to secure all data in transit.
While we implement strong security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
5Third-Party Services
DocShare uses the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:
- Google Firebase — authentication, database (Firestore), and push notifications (FCM)
- LiveKit — audio and video calling infrastructure
- Replik Media server OTP authentication and push notification delivery
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.
