The short version: Your documents stay yours. Docu Wallet has no backend that handles document files, everything lives on your device and, if you choose to connect it, your own Google Drive. We never read, scan, or sell the contents of your documents.
Overview
Docu Wallet ("Docu Wallet", "we", "us", or "our") is a mobile app that helps you securely store and instantly retrieve important personal documents, PAN, Aadhaar, driving licence, bank cards, and more. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.
Docu Wallet is a single-purpose utility: it stores, organizes, and retrieves your documents, and nothing else. There is no social layer, no feed, and no account system beyond the optional Google Drive connection you control.
By using Docu Wallet, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use of the app.
What Docu Wallet Stores & Where
| Data | Where It Lives |
|---|---|
| Your documents (PDFs, images) and their names/descriptions | Locally on your device, and in your own Google Drive if you choose to connect it. Never on Docu Wallet's servers. |
| Your PIN | Stored only on your device, in the operating system's secure storage (Keychain on iOS, EncryptedSharedPreferences/Keystore on Android). Never transmitted anywhere. |
| Biometric unlock (Face/Fingerprint), if enabled | Handled entirely by your device's operating system. Docu Wallet never accesses or stores biometric data directly. |
| Purchase information (for the one-time unlock) | Processed through the App Store / Play Store. We receive only a transaction confirmation, never your payment card details. |
| Anonymous usage data (optional) | Aggregate, non-personal analytics (e.g. app opens, documents added) that never include document names or contents. |
What We Never Do
- We never upload your documents to our servers. We have no backend that handles document files. Your Aadhaar, PAN, and other documents never leave your device or your own Google Drive.
- We never read the contents of your documents. No OCR, no AI scanning, no content analysis. Docu Wallet stores what you give it and shows it back to you, nothing more.
- We never sell your data. No third-party advertising, no data brokers, no selling or sharing of user data for commercial purposes.
- We never access more Google Drive data than necessary. We request only the narrowest available permission (the app-specific data folder scope). We cannot see your other files, photos, or any other content in your Drive.
Google Drive & Permissions
Connecting Google Drive is entirely optional. If you connect it, Docu Wallet writes your documents to a hidden, app-specific data folder, a sandboxed space that no other app can see, and that does not appear in your normal Google Drive file list.
You can revoke Drive access at any time from Settings → Disconnect Drive, or from your Google Account's connected apps page. Revoking access does not delete your documents already stored on your device.
Docu Wallet uses Google's OAuth 2.0 for authentication. We do not store your Google password. Authentication tokens are kept only in your device's secure storage.
On a new device, connecting Google Drive restores your full document list and files, this is the only way document data moves between devices, since there is no Docu Wallet account or server-side copy.
How We Use Data
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Storing and retrieving your documents | Document files, name, description (on-device and your own Drive) |
| Gating app access | PIN / biometric unlock, stored only on-device |
| Processing the one-time unlock purchase | Store transaction confirmation |
| Understanding aggregate app usage (optional) | Anonymous, non-identifying usage events |
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any automated decision-making.
How We Share Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only in the limited circumstances below:
- Google Drive — if you connect it, to sync your documents to your own account. We never receive a copy of these files ourselves.
- App Store / Play Store — to process the one-time unlock purchase.
- OS-level share sheet — when you tap "share" on a document, your device's native share sheet hands the file to whatever app you choose (WhatsApp, email, etc.). Docu Wallet does not manage or see this transfer itself.
We may disclose data if required by law, regulation, or court order, or if necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Docu Wallet, our users, or the public.
Data Retention
- Documents and metadata: Retained on your device, and in your own Google Drive if connected, until you delete them or uninstall the app. We hold no copy.
- PIN: Retained on-device only, until changed or the app is uninstalled.
- Purchase records: Retained as required by financial/tax regulations, held by the App Store / Play Store, not by us.
- Anonymous usage analytics: Aggregated and not retained as personally identifiable information.
Your Rights & Choices
Because your documents live on your device and your own Google Drive, you already hold direct control over almost all of your data. You may also exercise the following:
Delete Anytime
Delete any document, or all of them, directly within the app, on your device and your Drive.
Disconnect Drive
Revoke Google Drive access at any time from Settings, without losing your on-device documents.
Portability
Your documents are standard PDF/image files, always exportable via the native share sheet.

Security
- PIN protection: Your PIN is stored in the device's secure storage, hashed where applicable, and is never transmitted or stored in plain text.
- Biometric unlock: Uses the operating system's biometric API (Face ID / Fingerprint). Docu Wallet never accesses biometric data directly.
- Offline by default: The app works fully without an internet connection. No document data is sent anywhere while you're offline.
- Sandboxed Drive storage: Documents synced to Google Drive use the narrowest available app-data scope, invisible to other apps.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Docu Wallet is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We'll note significant changes via an in-app notice where appropriate. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision.
