Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Pocket Scan ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Pocket Scan mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and your privacy rights when using the App.

2. Privacy by Design

Pocket Scan is built on the principle of privacy-first design. All documents you scan are stored exclusively on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your scanned documents to our servers or any third-party services.

3. Data Collection

Pocket Scan collects minimal data necessary for app functionality:

  • Device information (for crash reporting and app improvements)
  • App usage statistics (anonymized)
  • Purchase information (for Pro version tracking)

4. Local Storage

All scanned documents, folders, and associated metadata are stored locally on your device using secure local storage. This data never leaves your device without your explicit action (e.g., when you choose to export, share, or email a document).

5. Third-Party Services

When you explicitly use certain features, you may interact with third-party services:

  • Email: Uses your device's Mail app; we don't control this data
  • AirDrop: Direct peer-to-peer sharing; no server involvement
  • Printing: Uses your device's printing services; we don't store documents

You maintain full control over when and how these services are used.

6. Analytics

We use anonymous analytics to understand how users interact with the app and improve its performance. This data does not include information about your documents or personal details.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the app and your data. Since your documents are stored locally, you have direct control over their security through your device's built-in security features.

8. Your Rights

Because Pocket Scan does not collect extensive personal data, you have full control over your information. You can delete the app and all associated data at any time. Your scanned documents remain on your device until you delete them.

9. Children's Privacy

Pocket Scan is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will take steps to delete the data immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy in the app. Your continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
