For visitors to dotb.io, we do not collect any personal data. An affiliate cookie may be placed if you arrive via an affiliate link. If you decide to create an account, we ask for the bare minimum and only share this information with services absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the application.

At Dotb, we are committed to complying with GDPR, CCPA, PECR and other privacy regulations on our website and our web analytics product as well. The privacy of your data — and it is your data, not ours! — is very important to us.

In this policy, we explain what data we collect and why, how your data is handled and your rights over your data. We promise to never sell your data: we have never done so and we never will.

As a visitor to the dotb.io website:

No personal information is collected
An affiliate cookie may be stored in your browser if you arrive on our site via an affiliate link.

See Tolt’s privacy policy for full details.

We use the Plausible Analytics script to collect some anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. The goal is to track overall trends in our website traffic, not to track individual visitors. All data is in aggregate only. No personal data is collected. See Plausible’s privacy policy for full details.
Data collected includes referral sources, top pages, visit duration, information from the devices (device type, operating system, country and browser) used during the visit and more. You can see full details in our data policy.

Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need and to process this information only to provide you with the service you have subscribed to.

We use a limited number of trusted external service providers for certain service offerings. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high standards of data protection, privacy and security.

We only share information necessary for the services offered with them and contractually bind them to keep all information we share with them confidential and to process personal data only according to our instructions.

Here is what this means in practice:

What we collect and how we use it

An email address is required to create an account. You must provide us with your email address if you want to create a Dotb account.
A persistent cookie is stored to remember that you are logged in. If you log in to your Dotb account, you give us permission to use cookies so that you do not have to log in for every session. This makes it easier for you to use our product. A cookie is a piece of text stored by your browser. You can adjust cookie retention settings in your own browser. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time.
All data we collect is fully secured, encrypted and hosted on a server powered by 100% renewable energy in Nuremberg, Germany. The server is owned by Hetzner, a European company. This ensures that all site data is covered by the strict European Union data protection laws. Your site data never leaves the EU. See Hetzner’s privacy policy for full details.
All emails are sent via a third-party email provider. Transactional emails and email reports (if you choose to subscribe to them) are sent via Postmark. We have disabled open tracking and link tracking on all emails sent. See Postmark’s privacy policy for full details.
When you write to us with a question or request for help. We keep this correspondence, including the email address, so that we have a history of past correspondence to refer to if you contact us in the future. We use this data only in connection with answering the requests we receive.
The payment process is handled by a third-party payment provider. If you choose to upgrade to a paid Dotb plan, billing information and the payment process are handled by Stripe. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy for full details.
Some Dotb features use artificial intelligence. These features are powered by Google (Gemini). Data sent to these services is processed in accordance with their respective privacy policies. See Google’s Privacy Policy for full details.

Data retention

We will retain your information as long as your account is active, as long as needed to provide you with the services or as otherwise stated in this policy.

We will also retain and use this information to the extent necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect Dotb’s legal rights.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices.
