Welcome to Smart WiFi Printer, an Android application designed to help users easily print photos, PDFs, documents, and text files using the built-in Android printing system and supported printer services.
This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We believe in full transparency, and we do not collect unnecessary data or sell or share your information for commercial gain.

2.2. Information Collected Automatically
When you use the app, we may collect the following data automatically through trusted services like Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics:
Device Information: Device brand, model, operating system version, language, and screen resolution.
App Usage Data: Features used (e.g., print, scan, OCR), session duration, button clicks, screen views.
Log and Crash Data: Logs from errors or crashes to improve app stability.

2.3. Information from Third-Party Services
We integrate the following services, which may also collect anonymized usage data:
Firebase Analytics β For analyzing how users interact with the app.
Firebase Crashlytics β For tracking app crashes and performance issues.
ML Kit (Google) β For enabling on-device document scanning and text recognition (OCR).
Note: Data processed by ML Kit is handled locally on the device unless explicitly shared by the user.
We use the collected information to:
Ensure app functions like printing, scanning, and OCR work correctly
Improve the app experience based on real user behavior
Monitor app performance, fix bugs, and prevent crashes
Understand which features are used most to guide future development
Ensure compatibility with various device types and Android versions
We do not use your information for advertising purposes, and we do not track your activity across other apps or websites.
We understand the sensitivity of your documents and take your privacy seriously.
4.1. File Access Permissions
The app may request permissions for:
Camera β Used only for scanning documents using the ML Kit scanner.
Storage/Media Access β To allow you to select documents or images for printing.
These permissions are only used locally for their stated purposes.
4.2. File Storage & Processing
Files selected for printing or scanning are processed locally on your device.
We do not upload, store, or access your documents outside your device.
Any scanned or processed files are saved only if you choose to export or save them.
4.3. No Upload or Sharing
Your documents are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties.
We do not store or access any file without your direct interaction.
We value your privacy and do not sell, rent, or share your personal or file data with any third party for advertising or marketing purposes.
Your data is only shared in the following limited cases:
Service Providers: We use trusted third-party services like Firebase for analytics and crash reporting. These services may access anonymized data (e.g., usage patterns, crashes) strictly for the purpose of improving app performance and stability.
Legal Compliance: If required by law, we may disclose information in response to legal requests (e.g., court orders or law enforcement), but we do not share data voluntarily.
User Consent: If you explicitly choose to share a file (e.g., print via a third-party print service), only then is that file accessed or sent to the selected service.
We maintain strict control over third-party integrations and ensure all comply with Google Playβs data handling policies.
We implement industry-standard security practices to protect the data we collect and any data handled by the app:
Local Processing: All sensitive operations like document scanning or printing are performed on your device.
Secure Communication: Where applicable, all interactions with Firebase or system services are encrypted using HTTPS.
No External Storage of User Files: We do not store or retain your documents on our servers. Any file you use in the app stays on your device unless you manually choose to export or share it.
Limited Access: Our team only accesses anonymized usage data for debugging and feature improvement.
Despite our efforts, no app or platform can guarantee 100% security. You are encouraged to keep your device updated and avoid using the app on rooted or compromised devices.
This app is not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children.
If we discover that a child under 13 has provided any personal data, we will delete it immediately.
Parents or guardians who believe their child may have interacted with the app inappropriately can contact us for further assistance.
We follow a minimal data retention policy:
Crash & Analytics Data: Retained by Firebase in anonymized form for up to 14 months (default Firebase retention) for performance monitoring and debugging.
User Files & Scans: Not stored by us. Files remain on your device unless deleted by you.
Support Emails: If you contact us, any email communication may be retained for reference and support history unless you request deletion.
You may uninstall the app at any time to stop all data collection.
We believe in giving you full control over your data. Here are your available options:
Permission Control: You can allow or deny app permissions (Camera, Storage) through your device settings at any time.
Data Deletion: Simply uninstalling the app will stop all data collection. No personal files are stored or retained after removal.
Access to Collected Data: We only collect anonymized usage data. If you need a copy of any personal information you shared (e.g., support emails), you can request it by contacting us.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or app functionality.
Notification: We will update the "Effective Date" above and, if the change is significant, may notify you in-app or via the Play Store update notes.
