Privacy Policy

Dot Tech Solution (dottechsolution.com.pk)
Effective date: 2 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dot Tech Solution (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles personal data when you use our website https://dottechsolution.com.pk (the “Website”), buy or use our digital products and services (the “Services”), or use our “Proof the Poster” Chrome extension. It is the Privacy Policy referred to in our Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Website or the Services.

1. Who we are

The Website and the Services are operated by Dot Tech Solution.

• Email: contact@dottechsolution.com.pk
• Postal address: 1294 Rafi Block Ph 8, Bahria Twn, Islamabad, PK

For the personal data described in sections 3 to 12 we decide why and how the data is used (we are the “controller”, where data protection law uses that term). For the “Proof the Poster” extension (section 13) we do not receive your data at all.

2. In short

• We collect only what we need to run the Website, take and deliver orders, give support, keep the Website secure and meet our legal duties.
• We do not sell your personal data.
• The “Proof the Poster” Chrome extension reads your images on your own device. We collect nothing from it, and it has no analytics or tracking. Details are in section 13.

3. What we collect and where it comes from

Information you give us:

• Account and order details: your name, email address, billing details and the products or services you order, when you create an account or place an order.
• Messages: what you write to us by email, a contact form or a marketplace message, and our replies.
• Project information you send us for a service, such as website content, product data or access details.

Information we receive from others:

• Order details from third-party marketplaces and payment providers when you buy from us through them, such as your email address, the product bought and the payment status. The marketplace or provider has its own privacy policy for the data it collects from you.

Information collected automatically:

• Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information and the pages you visit. As our Terms say, we may monitor IP addresses and related technical signals for security, service integrity and fraud prevention.
• Cookies and similar technologies (section 11).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data (for example health data or government identity numbers). Please do not send them to us.

4. How we use your data and why

• To create and manage your account, take and deliver your order, send order confirmations and give you the products and services you bought. Legal basis (GDPR, where it applies): performing our contract with you.
• To answer your questions and give support. Legal basis: performing our contract, or our legitimate interest in running our business and helping you.
• To keep the Website and Services secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in protecting our business, our customers and the Website.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting duties and to handle disputes, refunds and chargebacks. Legal basis: legal obligation and legitimate interest.
• To send you information about our products, only where you have asked for it or the law allows it, and you can stop at any time. Legal basis: consent or legitimate interest, as the law requires.

We do not use your personal data to make decisions that have legal effects on you by purely automated means.

5. Who we share data with

We share personal data only where needed, with:

• Service providers that help us run the Website and Services, such as hosting, email, security and website maintenance providers, who may only use the data for our purposes.
• Payment providers and marketplaces that process your payment or order.
• Professional advisers and authorities where the law requires it or to protect our legal rights.
• A buyer or successor of our business, if the business is sold or reorganised, with notice to you where the law requires.

We do not sell personal data. Third-party providers act under their own privacy policies for the data they collect directly from you.

6. International transfers

We are based in Pakistan and our providers may be in other countries, so your data may be processed outside the country where you live. Where the law requires safeguards for such transfers, we use them, for example contract terms with our providers.

7. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes in section 4. For example, account and order records are kept for as long as needed to provide the Services, answer questions and meet legal, tax and accounting duties. When we no longer need data, we delete it or make it anonymous.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Tell us straight away if you suspect unauthorised access to your account, as our Terms ask.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, under the GDPR), you may have the right to:

• ask for access to the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct data that is wrong or incomplete;
• ask us to delete your data, or to restrict how we use it;
• object to uses based on our legitimate interests, and to direct marketing;
• receive your data in a portable format, where the law gives you that right;
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent (this does not affect earlier use);
• complain to your local data protection authority.

To use a right, email contact@dottechsolution.com.pk. We may need to confirm who you are first. We reply without undue delay and within the time the law sets.

10. Payments and withdrawal

Payment data is handled by the payment provider or marketplace you use at checkout, under its own privacy policy. Information about refunds and the right of withdrawal for EU consumers is in our Terms & Conditions.

11. Cookies

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the Website to work, for example to keep you signed in or to remember items in a cart. Where the law requires your consent for other cookies, we ask for it and you can withdraw it at any time. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings; blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the Website working. If we publish a separate Cookie Policy page, it supplements this section.

12. Our digital products and services

Most of our downloads (templates, guides, spreadsheets and scripts) are files that run on your own computer and do not send data to us. If a product connects to another service in order to work (for example a licence check, or an account you set up with a third party), the product description or this policy says so. If you send us content for a service, we use it only to deliver that service.

13. “Proof the Poster” Chrome extension

This section applies to the “Proof the Poster” extension (“the extension”), which checks the text in a poster image against the copy you approved. It is written to match exactly what the extension does.

What we collect. Nothing. We run no servers for the extension. We do not receive your copy, your images, your licence key or your OpenRouter key. The extension has no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no crash reporting, and it does not sell or share data.

What happens on your device.

• The approved copy you type or paste, and the images you drop, paste, choose, or right-click on a web page, are processed inside your browser.
• The text in an image is read by software bundled inside the extension (tesseract.js with English language data). The image is not uploaded for this. Reading works offline.

What the extension stores, and where. The extension stores the following in Chrome’s local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device. It is not synced to your Google account and we cannot read it:

• your last typed copy (a draft, so it is still there when you reopen the page);
• your date-order setting;
• the free-check counter (today’s date and the number of checks used);
• saved copy sets, if you use Pro;
• your Pro licence key, its product identifier and the time it was last verified, if you activate Pro;
• your OpenRouter key and the model name you chose, if you use the optional vision engine.

You can delete the licence key (button “Remove key”), the OpenRouter key and model (button “Clear”) and saved copy sets in the extension. Removing the extension deletes everything it stored.

When data leaves your browser. Only in these three cases, each caused by something you do:
1. Pro licence check. When you activate a Pro key, and about once a week afterwards while Pro is active, the extension sends your licence key and our product identifier directly from your browser to Gumroad, our seller platform, at api.gumroad.com, to confirm that the key is valid. Nothing else is sent. If Gumroad reports that the key is no longer valid (for example a refunded purchase or a cancelled membership), the extension removes the stored key. Gumroad handles that request under its own privacy policy. We receive nothing from this check.
2. Optional vision model (Pro only, off by default). If you choose the vision engine and confirm the prompt, the extension sends the image and an instruction to read its text, together with your own OpenRouter key, directly from your browser to OpenRouter (openrouter.ai). The request does not pass through our servers. OpenRouter and the model provider you choose handle the image under their own terms and privacy policies, and the text they return is compared with your copy on your device. Your key is sent only to OpenRouter.
3. Right-click on an image. To read an image on a web page, the extension may need to download it from the site that hosts it. It asks for your permission for that one site only, downloads the image to your device, and then removes the permission. The hosting site sees an ordinary request for the image.

The extension makes no other network requests. The two links in the extension page (to our Website and to this policy) open only if you click them.

Permissions.

• Context menu: adds “Proof this image against my copy” to the right-click menu on images.
• Storage: keeps the items listed above on your device.
• Optional access to a site: asked only at the moment of use, for the one image site, for the licence check, or for the vision engine. Nothing is granted at install.

Limited Use. The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use data only to provide the extension’s single purpose, which is checking an image against your approved copy. We do not transfer or sell user data to third parties other than as described above, we do not use it for advertising, personalised advertisements or to decide creditworthiness, and no human reads it, because we never receive it.

Free and Pro. The extension is free to install and includes 5 checks a day. Pro is paid and sold by Dot Tech Solution, not by Google. Pro removes the daily limit and adds saved copy sets, CSV export and the optional vision engine.

14. Children

The Website and the Services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you think a child has given us personal data, email us and we will delete it.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We post the new version on this page with a new effective date. If a change affects how the “Proof the Poster” extension handles your data, the extension will tell you before the change applies.

16. Contact
