This policy explains how the Android app Document and PDF Scanner (package name com.docsscanner.scan.pdf.scanner.cams), published by [Camera Hub] ("we", "us"), handles information. If you have any questions, contact us at [cameraandvoicehub@gmail.com].
Your scans, PDFs, signatures and extracted text are kept on your phone. They leave it only when you share, email, print or save them, or through Android's own backup to your Google account. We do not have servers, and we never receive them.
The app has no account and no sign-up.
The app shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect some device information to show and measure ads, as described below.
Photos you take with the app, images and PDFs you import, and everything made from them (pages, PDFs, text found by text recognition, signatures, tags and folder names) are stored in the app's private storage on your device. We cannot see them.
They leave your device when you choose to send them, for example when you share, email or print a document, save it to your gallery, or export it to another app. The app you share with handles the file under its own privacy policy.
The app allows Android backup. If backup is turned on for your phone, Android includes the app's data in your personal Google Drive backup: your documents, signatures, settings and your document-lock PIN, which is stored as a one-way hash rather than as the PIN itself. That backup belongs to your Google account; we cannot access it. You can turn backup off in your phone's Settings.
The app asks for camera access so you can scan documents and QR codes. The camera is used only while you are scanning, and images are processed on your device.
These features use Google ML Kit and Google Play services and run on your device. Your images are not sent to Google for this processing. To keep these features working and improve them, ML Kit sends Google diagnostic and usage information over HTTPS: device information (manufacturer, model, Android version), the app's package name and version, a per-installation identifier that is not meant to identify you, performance metrics, feature settings, and error codes. Google does not pass this information to third parties. See Google's ML Kit terms and Privacy Policy.
The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK): banner ads on some screens, a full-screen ad that can appear while the app is loading or when you return to it, and full-screen ads at natural breaks, such as after you finish a scan, an import, a merge or a PDF tool, or save a PDF; these break-time ads never show when you open or leave the app. Full-screen ads are spaced at least 90 seconds apart, and every one can be closed. To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process:
your device's advertising ID, app set ID and other device identifiers;
your IP address, which can give an approximate location;
information about ad views and taps and how the app is used;
diagnostic and performance information, such as crash reports.
This information is sent over encrypted connections and handled by Google under its own policy. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Your choices: In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, using Google's consent message. You can change your choice later in the app under Settings > About > Privacy options. On any Android phone you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Settings > Privacy > Ads (the menu name varies by phone). You can also manage the ads Google shows you at My Ad Center, and learn about opting out of interest-based ads from many companies at aboutads.info.
United States: Sharing information with Google to show personalised ads may count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information under some US state privacy laws. You can opt out by deleting or resetting your advertising ID as described above, or by contacting us.
We do not sell your personal information for money. (See the United States note under Advertising for how ad sharing is treated under some state laws.)
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, precise location or files.
We do not use the camera or read your files in the background.
Your documents stay on your device until you delete them. Deleted documents go to the app's Trash, where you can restore or delete them for good. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Android settings, removes all of its data from your device. Because we do not hold your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. For data Google collects for ads, see Google's policy linked above.
Your documents are kept in storage that other apps cannot read. You can also lock documents with a PIN inside the app. No method of storage is completely secure, so please keep your phone protected with a screen lock.
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help.
We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
