Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PdfScanner handles information when you use the app, website, and related services.
Summary
PdfScanner is designed to help users scan, organize, edit, search, and share documents. We aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible while still operating core app features, optional sync, and advertising.
Information You Provide
- Documents, scanned images, imported photos, PDFs, and OCR text you create or import into the app.
- Folder names, document titles, tags, and other organization metadata you add.
- Optional support messages or emails you send.
Information Accessed by the App
- Camera access, if you choose to scan documents.
- Selected photos or files, if you choose to import images or PDFs.
- CloudKit or iCloud-related data, if sync is enabled and used by the app.
PdfScanner accesses this information only to provide the features you choose to use.
Advertising
PdfScanner uses Google Mobile Ads, including App Open Ads and Rewarded Ads. Advertising partners may collect device-level or advertising-related information subject to their own privacy policies and platform rules.
Depending on your region and settings, ad-related features may rely on consent flows, SKAdNetwork attribution, or other privacy-preserving measurement technologies.
How Information Is Used
- To create, edit, store, organize, and share documents.
- To run OCR and document enhancement features.
- To enable optional sync and restoration features where supported.
- To maintain app functionality, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.
- To display ads and support monetization of the app.
Storage and Sync
Documents and related data may be stored locally on your device. If the app uses CloudKit or iCloud-based sync, some data may also be stored in your iCloud account, subject to Apple's terms and privacy practices.
Sharing
When you choose to share a document, export a PDF, or send OCR text to another app or person, that transfer happens based on the action you initiate. Please review the privacy practices of any third-party service you use.
Data Retention
Content you create in PdfScanner generally remains available until you delete it, remove the app, or disable related storage and sync options. If data is synchronized through iCloud or stored in backups, copies may remain according to Apple's retention processes.
Children's Privacy
PdfScanner is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your Choices
- You can deny camera access in iOS Settings.
- You can choose not to import photos or files.
- You can disable iCloud features from your device settings.
- You can limit ad personalization through Apple and Google settings where available.
- You can delete documents you no longer wish to keep in the app.
Third-Party Services
PdfScanner may rely on Apple frameworks and services, Google Mobile Ads, and other platform-level components needed to operate the app. Those third parties may process data under their own terms and policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date and publish the revised version through the website or app listing.
