Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Dock ("we", "our", "the app") helps small business owners track sales, customers, and payments. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it's protected. We've tried to keep this plain and honest rather than full of legal jargon you'd need a lawyer to decode.

1. Information we collect

When you create a Dock account and use the app, we collect:

• Account information: your email address, and your name if you sign in with Google.
• Profile information you provide: your business name, full name, and profile photo (if you upload one).
• Business data you enter: sales records, items sold, prices, customer names, and payment/debt records — this is the data you enter yourself to run your business through Dock.

We do not ask for or store bank account numbers, card numbers, or any payment credentials — Dock only records what you tell it about your own sales, it doesn't process real payments.

2. How we use your information

We use the information above only to:

• Run your Dock account — show your dashboard, sales history, and customer records
• Let you sign in securely, including via Google Sign-In
• Display your profile photo and business name within the app

We do not sell your data. We do not share your business data with other Dock users or with advertisers.

3. Services we rely on

Dock is built on top of a small number of trusted external services, which each handle a specific part of how the app works:

• Firebase (by Google): handles account sign-in and stores your business data securely.
• Google Sign-In: if you choose "Continue with Google," Google shares your name and email with us to create or sign in to your account. We never see or store your Google password.
• Cloudinary: stores profile photos you choose to upload.

Each of these providers has its own privacy practices covering how they handle data on their infrastructure.

4. How your data is protected

Your business data is stored in a database that only your account can read or write to — other Dock users cannot see your sales, customers, or payment records, and we've put technical rules in place at the database level to enforce this, not just in the app's design. All data travels over encrypted (HTTPS) connections.

5. Your choices and rights

• You can update your business name, full name, and photo at any time from your Profile page.
• You can log out of your account at any time.
• If you'd like your account and all associated data permanently deleted, contact us using the details below and we'll process that request.

6. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we'll remove your business data from our systems, except where we're required to retain limited records for legal or fraud-prevention reasons.

7. Children's privacy

Dock is intended for business owners and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes to how we handle your data, we'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date above.
