Privacy Policy Scanify

Welcome to Scanify. This Privacy Policy explains how the Scanify mobile app (“App”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you scan documents, enhance pages, extract text with OCR, create PDFs, convert files, and share results.

1. Who This Policy Covers

Scanify is a document scanner and file converter for individuals who want to:

• Capture or import document pages
• Enhance pages with filters and cropping
• Create, view, share, and print PDFs
• Extract text with on-device OCR
• Convert between formats such as PDF, Word, images, and text

By using Scanify, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Scanify is designed to work without creating a user account. Depending on how you use the App, we may process the following:

• Document images and files you provide — photos from camera/gallery, imported PDFs, images, and text files you choose to open or convert
• Generated outputs — processed page images, PDFs, Word (.docx) files, text files, and ZIP archives created by the App
• OCR text — text recognized from scanned pages or converted documents when you use OCR / PDF-to-Word / Image-to-Word features
• Local document metadata — titles, page order, filters, favorites, and timestamps stored on your device
• Device permissions data — camera and photo/media access only when you grant permission and use related features
• Advertising identifiers and usage signals — if ads (such as Google AdMob) are enabled, standard ad and analytics identifiers may be collected by advertising partners as described below

We do not require name, email, or password signup to use core scanning and conversion features. We do not intentionally collect payment card details through the App.

3. How Information Is Collected

• Directly from you — when you capture photos, import files, crop/edit pages, run OCR, convert formats, rename documents, or share exports
• From your device — with permission, the App accesses camera and media libraries to scan or import content
• Through advertising SDKs — when AdMob or similar services are integrated, those SDKs may automatically collect device and ad-related data according to their own policies

4. How We Use Information

We use the information to:

• Provide scanning, cropping, enhancement, PDF creation, OCR, and file conversion features
• Save and organize your documents locally on the device
• Enable share, print, and export of files you create
• Show advertisements and measure ad performance (when AdMob or similar services are enabled)
• Improve App reliability, usability, and security
• Respond to support requests related to the App

Scanify does not sell your personal documents or OCR content to data brokers. Your scanned documents are not uploaded to Scanify servers as part of the core local-first experience.

5. Where Information Is Stored

By default, Scanify stores scans, processed images, PDFs, and document metadata in the App’s private storage on your device. Conversion outputs may also be written to temporary folders before you share or save them elsewhere.

If you share a file (for example to Drive, WhatsApp, email, or Files), that destination’s own privacy practices apply after the file leaves the App.

Uninstalling the App generally removes local Scanify data from the device. Files you previously shared or saved outside the App are not automatically deleted.

6. Internet and Third-Party Services

Core scanning and many conversion features can run on your device. An internet connection may be required for advertisements, font downloads (if used), store updates, and certain SDK features.

The App is built with Flutter and may use libraries for camera access, image picking/cropping, PDF rendering/generation, OCR (such as Google ML Kit on supported devices), file picking, and sharing.

When Google AdMob (or similar advertising services) is used, those services may collect and process data such as advertising ID, IP address, device information, and interaction with ads. Please review:

• Google Privacy Policy
• AdMob & privacy guidance

If you install Scanify from Google Play or the App Store, that store’s privacy practices apply separately to downloads, reviews, and store accounts.

7. Data Sharing

We share information only as needed to operate the App:

• With you / apps you choose — when you share or export a PDF, Word, image, or text file
• With advertising partners — when ads are enabled (for example Google AdMob), for serving and measuring ads
• When required by law — if disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect the App’s security and integrity

We do not sell your document contents. We do not use your scanned documents for third-party advertising targeting beyond what advertising SDKs may do with standard ad identifiers and aggregated usage signals.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to keep App data secure, including storing documents in app-private local storage by default and using platform permission prompts for camera and media access. However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for protecting your device (screen lock, OS updates) and for carefully reviewing files before sharing sensitive documents (IDs, contracts, banking papers, etc.).

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Documents and conversions remain on your device until you delete them in the App or uninstall the App. Temporary conversion files may be cleared by the system over time.

You can delete individual documents from the App. To remove remaining local data, uninstall Scanify. For privacy questions or deletion-related requests about any account/service data that may be introduced in future updates, contact us using the details below.

10. Children's Privacy

Scanify is a general productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can review and address the request.

11. Your Choices

• You can deny camera or photo permission (some features will be unavailable)
• You can delete documents and converted files from the App
• You can choose what to share and with which apps
• You can reset advertising preferences / opt out of personalized ads through your device settings where available (for example, Google Ad settings / Limit Ad Tracking)
• You can uninstall the App at any time

12. Sensitive Documents

Scanify may be used to scan sensitive materials. Please avoid sharing documents that contain confidential information unless you trust the destination. Processing such as OCR and conversion happens to provide the feature you requested; treat resulting files with the same care as the originals.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, features (including advertising), or data practices change. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of Scanify after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
