DECLARATION OF PRIVACY
Made by DocFilla to everyone who uploads a form
1. Encrypted in transit and in storage
Documents and saved details are encrypted when they travel and when they're stored. ID numbers, banking details and answers are encrypted a second time, under a key that never leaves the server, before they reach the database.
2. You decide when files are deleted
Delete a document the moment you download it, let it clear itself after 24 hours, or keep it. Deleting your account removes everything, files included.
3. Never sold, never used to train AI
Your documents and details are used only to fill your forms. We don't sell them, share them or train models on them. Built with POPIA in mind.
Why we built DocFilla
Paper forms are a chore. Online ones aren’t much better.
Print it, fill it in by hand, scan it, email it back. Or open it in a PDF editor, draw text boxes by hand, guess the font size and try to type one letter into each tiny square without anything lining up.
We built DocFilla so the form fits your answers, not the other way round. You shouldn’t have to type your own name twenty times a year.
