Security

Security & privacy at Dott

How we protect the documents you trust us with.

Encryption

  • TLS 1.2+ protects all data in transit between your browser and Dott's servers.
  • Data at rest is encrypted via Supabase managed encryption.
  • Files are stored in private storage buckets with row-level security policies enforced at the database level — only the authenticated owner can access their files.

Access controls

  • Only the authenticated user can access their documents and analyses. Storage RLS policies enforce this at the database level.
  • Signed URLs with short expiry are used for any file download — a link that works today does not work tomorrow.
  • No Dott employee browses user documents in the normal course of business.
  • Admin access is scoped to licensed attorneys and Dott staff, and is logged.

What we share, and what we don't

  • Dott does not share user data with employers, recruiters, advertisers, or third parties for marketing purposes.
  • AI analysis runs against the Anthropic API under standard data processing terms — content is processed for the user's analysis and is not used for model training.
  • Attorney connections through the Dott network are handled under privilege. Your information is shared with the attorney only with your explicit consent.
  • We never contact your employer about your use of Dott.

Retention and deletion

  • Users can delete documents and analyses at any time from their dashboard. Deletion is permanent.
  • Account deletion removes all associated data from our systems.
  • Automatic retention windows can be set per user preference.

Subprocessors

The following third-party services process data on behalf of Dott users:

  • Vercel — application hosting and edge delivery
  • Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage
  • Anthropic — AI document analysis (Claude API)
  • Stripe — payment processing
  • Resend — transactional email

Contact

Dott is a SaaS platform, not a law firm. While we apply law-firm-grade care to confidentiality, the attorney-client privilege only attaches when you engage an attorney directly through our network or independently. Use of the AI analysis tool alone does not create an attorney-client relationship.
