Privacy policy
Docket is desktop software that runs on your Mac. This policy covers both the application and this website.
The application
Docket collects nothing. There is no account, no telemetry, no crash reporting and no licence check.
An earlier version of this policy said the only network requests the app makes are to the website you ask it to audit. That was not accurate, and a privacy policy is the last document that should be approximately true. Docket makes requests to three kinds of destination:
- The site you asked it to audit. The crawl itself, from your machine, and the edge-access checks that re-request your pages while identifying as each AI crawler.
- docketseo.app, for one public file. The knowledge refresh connector is on
by default and fetches
/data/knowledge.json— the current AI crawler list, Core Web Vitals thresholds and ranking notes. It is a GET with no body and no query string. It carries no identifier and tells the server nothing about what you are auditing; the request is indistinguishable from someone opening that file in a browser. - Google, only if you configure it. The PageSpeed Insights connector needs your own Google API key and does nothing without one. When enabled it necessarily sends Google the URL you asked it to measure, because that is what the API takes. Leave it off and no request is made.
Every connector can be turned off individually, and an offline switch disables all of them at once, leaving only the crawl of your own site.
Audit results and your saved-site list are stored on your machine in ~/.docket/
as plain JSON files. They are never transmitted. Deleting that folder removes them permanently.
This website
This site is static. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and embeds no third-party scripts or fonts. Standard server logs may record IP addresses and requested URLs, which are used only to keep the site running.
Data you give us
There is no contact form and no mailing list. If you open an issue on GitHub, that issue is public and GitHub's privacy policy applies to it; we hold nothing separately.
