## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar

**Overall assessment of hosting & data:** 

Doclingo is primarily a hosted SaaS document translator for PDFs, Office files, OCR, image translation, glossary, online editing, and document chat. On-premises, local, or private cloud hosting is not publicly documented as a standard option. Positive aspects include the document features, OCR, layout preservation, bilingual output, multiple translation engines, and API/enterprise references on the website. Critical issues are the unclear server location, PRC choice of law, lack of public GDPR/DPA evidence, and the processing of uploaded documents, which often contain personal or confidential content. 


**Conclusion:** 

Doclingo can be useful for non-sensitive document translations; for EU companies, contracts, HR documents, health data, customer data, or confidential records, direct evidence regarding DPA, data residency, subprocessors, deletion, and training use is required before use.

**GDPR assessment:** From a GDPR perspective, Doclingo is unclear to critical. 


**Positive** is that Doclingo describes security measures, account deletion, data subject/user rights, and third-party SDKs in its Privacy Policy. It is also positive that the platform is functionally clearly documented for document translation, OCR, layout preservation, and bilingual output. 


**Negative** is that I could not publicly find a verified GDPR data processing agreement (DPA/AVV), no SCCs, no clear EU data residency, and no reliable list of subprocessors. The Privacy Policy states that the applicable law is the law of the People's Republic of China and names Wuhan Loke Network Technology Co., Ltd. in Wuhan, Hubei, China as the company. 


**Server location:** No verified information available; an EU server location is not publicly documented. Further links: Doclingo website, Pricing/Plan page, Privacy Policy.

## Vorteile
- – Very strong focus on preserving formatting/layout in documents.
- – OCR for scans/image content.
- – Bilingual output for review workflows.
- – Glossary/terminology database for consistency.
- – Online editing, section exclusions, and post-correction.
- – Multi-engine approach and API for workflows/automation.

## Nachteile
- – Official company and country information is inconsistent: the website privacy policy names a Chinese operating company, while Apple/Google list TONDA in Japan.
- – Price transparency is weak: the official pricing page is only partially readable in the accessible web view.
- – For highly sensitive/GDPR-critical data, the reviewed official sources lack reliable information on server location, SCCs, and AVV/DPA.
- – Google Play states in the app data privacy section, among other things, “Data isn’t encrypted,” which contradicts the website’s statements about TLS/SSL.
- – For legally/officially relevant documents, Doclingo itself recommends a human review; the refund policy also still refers to beta testing.
