Privacy Policy & Data Protection

Learn how docling.org handles user data, cookies, and local execution security.

100% Offline Local Software Commitment

Docling is an open-source software library that executes 100% locally on your machine or within your private infrastructure. When you use the Docling Python library, CLI, or Docker container, your files and documents are processed locally in memory. No document data or file contents are ever uploaded to docling.org or any external server.
