Privacy policy for DockLog apps

1. Overview

The apps are remote clients for a DockLog server you or your team runs. They're not a hosted logging service. Your data goes to your server, not through ours.

One policy covers every distribution channel: App Store, Play Store, Linux packages, direct downloads, and anything else we add later.

We don't sell your information or run ads inside the apps.

2. Information We Collect

The apps collect only what is needed to connect to your DockLog server and provide a usable experience:

• Server connection details: The URL, port, or hostname of your self-hosted DockLog instance that you enter in the app.
• Authentication credentials: Username, password, or session tokens you provide to sign in to your DockLog server. These are used solely to authenticate requests to your instance.
• Device and app diagnostics:Basic crash reports or error logs may be collected through your platform's built-in tools (such as Apple, Google, or your Linux distribution's crash reporting) if you have opted in at the OS level. DockLog does not embed third-party analytics SDKs in the apps.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

The apps do not collect or transmit the following to DockLog-operated servers:

• Container logs, stdout/stderr streams, or application telemetry from your workloads
• Host system metrics (CPU and memory) beyond what your DockLog server returns during an active session
• Docker socket data, container names, or infrastructure metadata for profiling or marketing purposes
• Contacts, photos, location data, microphone input, or other unrelated device permissions

4. How Your Data Is Stored

Server URLs and saved logins may sit in platform storage (iOS Keychain, Android Keystore, Linux credential manager) so you do not re-enter them every time you open the app.

Container logs and observability data displayed in the apps are fetched in real time from your DockLog server and are not persisted on DockLog-operated infrastructure. Any retention of that data is governed by your self-hosted deployment and its database configuration.

5. Network & Third-Party Services

The apps talk directly to the DockLog server address you configure. If that server is on the public internet, traffic goes between your device and your infrastructure. There is no DockLog cloud proxy in the middle.

No ads, tracking pixels, or analytics SDKs in the apps. App Store, Play Store, Linux repos, or direct downloads may have their own policies for billing and OS-level diagnostics.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share, rent, or sell app user data to third parties. Data may only be disclosed if required by law, such as in response to a valid legal request, or to protect the rights and safety of users where permitted by applicable law.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

Connection settings and saved credentials remain on your device until you remove them in the app or uninstall the application. You can clear saved servers and sign out at any time from within the app settings.

How long logs and metrics stick around is up to your DockLog server, not the apps.

8. Security

We strongly recommend connecting to your DockLog instance over HTTPS and restricting public exposure where possible. Because the apps can access sensitive operational data, you are responsible for securing your server, rotating credentials, and enforcing RBAC rules on your DockLog deployment.

9. Children's Privacy

DockLog apps are built for developers, operators, and IT professionals managing self-hosted infrastructure. They are not designed for general consumer or child use, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data associated with your use of the apps. Because most operational data lives on your self-hosted server, requests regarding container logs or audit records should be directed to your organization's administrator.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as the apps evolve or as legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of any DockLog app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Contact

Questions about this app privacy policy can be submitted via the DockLog GitHub repository or by contacting the project maintainers. For questions about the self-hosted DockLog server itself, see our website privacy policy. For the native app landing page, visit /app.
