4. User Uploads and Public Content

When you upload a document or submit information intended for publication, that content may become publicly available on DocuLib. Public information may include the document title, description, category, file format, page count, preview, download statistics, ratings, and any uploader profile information you choose to make public.

You should not upload documents containing sensitive personal information, confidential records, private identification numbers, financial credentials, medical records, non-public government records, or personal information of third parties unless you have a lawful basis and all necessary permissions to do so.

DocuLib may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to remember user preferences, maintain sessions, improve site functionality, measure traffic, and support security. For more details, please review our separate Cookie Policy.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information as a core business activity. We may share information in limited circumstances where it is necessary to operate the website, comply with the law, protect users, or enforce our policies.

• Service providers: vendors that help with hosting, storage, analytics, security, email delivery, search functionality, or technical support.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect the integrity of the document library. Uploaded documents may remain available until removed by the uploader, removed under our policies, or deleted as part of account or content moderation processes.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential and for avoiding uploads that contain unnecessary sensitive data.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal information. You may also be able to update account details, remove uploaded content, adjust cookie preferences, or contact us regarding privacy concerns.

If you request deletion of information, we may retain limited records when necessary for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, copyright enforcement, or legitimate administrative purposes.
