AI Toolkit: Scan, PDF & OCR (the "Application") is developed and maintained as an offline-first utility application. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information handled by the Application, how permissions are utilized, and how user data is protected.
1. On-Device Architecture & Data Storage
Local Processing: All document scanning, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), subject segmentation (background removal), EXIF scrubbing, hashing, and PDF editing execute entirely on your device using local processing libraries (including Google ML Kit).
Zero External Cloud Transfers: Documents, images, extracted text, and generated files are processed strictly within device memory and local storage. No user content is transmitted to external servers.
Local History Management: Any saved documents, scanned records, or generated QR codes remain stored locally inside application-specific sandbox storage.
2. Device Permissions Usage The Application requests only the permissions necessary to deliver core features:
Camera (android.permission.CAMERA): Utilized exclusively in real time to capture document scans and decode QR/barcodes via the scanner modules. No camera feeds or background footage are recorded without direct user action.
Storage & File Access: Utilized strictly to allow the user to select input files (photos or PDFs) and save newly generated documents directly to device storage via system file pickers.
Network & Internet (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Utilized solely to verify network connectivity and serve third-party advertisements.
3. Third-Party Services & Advertising The Application utilizes Google AdMob to display banner, interstitial, and app-open advertisements. Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous identifiers, such as:
Google Advertising ID (GAID)
Device identifiers and diagnostic information
General coarse location derived from IP address
These details are processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy to provide relevant advertising and prevent fraud.
4. Children's Privacy The Application does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. The tools provided are general-purpose offline productivity utilities.
5. Policy Updates This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect application enhancements or policy revisions. Any modifications become effective immediately upon posting to this URL.
6. Contact Information For any inquiries, feedback, or support regarding this Privacy Policy or application functions, please reach out directly via your published support email on the Google Play Store.
7. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics This app uses Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google. AdMob may collect and use information from your device, including your IP address, device or advertising IDs (such as the Android Advertising ID), app activity, and technical data to serve advertisements and measure their performance.
By using this app, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Google AdMob.
