FOR DPOs AND PRIVACY TEAMS

The AI that reviews your DPAs without becoming a subprocessor

Sending a data processing agreement to a cloud AI creates exactly the kind of processing chain the document exists to control. FolioCore analyzes it on your Mac. Nothing is transmitted, so there is nothing new to paper.

What is FolioCore?

FolioCore is an offline AI document analysis application for macOS that reviews data processing agreements, privacy notices and vendor contracts locally. Because no data leaves the machine, using FolioCore adds no processor, no subprocessor and no transfer to your compliance map.

PROBLEMS IT SOLVES

The work it takes off a privacy team's desk

PROBLEM 01

Every vendor sends a different DPA

The Article 28 points are always the same: documented instructions, confidentiality commitments, security measures, subprocessor conditions, assistance duties, deletion and audit rights. The drafting never is.

WITH FOLIOCORE

FolioCore's downloadable GDPR DPA package checks these controls automatically and flags each one as found or missing, with the clause highlighted on the page. A companion extraction profile pulls the specifics into a structured view.

PROBLEM 02

The details that bite later

Breach notification windows, audit notice periods, liability caps, governing law. They are scattered across annexes and cross-references, and they end up mattering at the worst moment.

WITH FOLIOCORE

Extraction collects them into one exportable table for your vendor register, each value cited to the exact passage. When the answer is not in the document, FolioCore says Not Found rather than guessing.

PROBLEM 03

The updated terms nobody diffed

Vendors revise their DPAs and summarize the changes generously. Signing the new version on the strength of a changelog is a bet.

WITH FOLIOCORE

Semantic Redline compares the version you signed against the version they posted and lists what materially changed: obligations, deadlines, scope, parties. Rewording noise is filtered out.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, zero uploads

STEP 1

Open the document

Drop a PDF into FolioCore. Files are opened read-only; the original is never modified and its hash stays intact.

STEP 2

Run the analysis

Pick a checklist package, an extraction profile, a version comparison or just ask a question. Everything runs on your Mac.

STEP 3

Review grounded findings

Each result is cited and highlighted on the exact page of the original document, so verification takes seconds.

STEP 4

Export the report

Produce a clean PDF, Markdown or CSV report for your file, your client or your workpapers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions professionals ask first

Does analyzing a DPA with FolioCore disclose personal data to anyone?

No. FolioCore runs entirely on your device and makes no network calls during analysis. The publisher never receives your documents, so no personal data is disclosed to any third party by the review itself.

Is the GDPR DPA checklist included?

The GDPR data processing agreement package (checklist plus extraction profile) is a free downloadable extended package. Downloading and customizing packages requires the Full license.

Can I adapt the checks to CCPA or my own framework?

Yes. Packages are editable YAML. With the Full license you can modify the GDPR package or build checklists for US state privacy laws, internal standards or client-specific requirements.

Does FolioCore replace the DPO's legal assessment?

No. It locates clauses, extracts terms and compares versions, always with citations. The adequacy judgment stays with you.

What Mac does it require?

Any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 26 runs checklists and extraction. Chat with Document and Semantic Redline need 16GB of memory or more.
