EasyX Scanner – Scan to PDF: Privacy Policy

Effective date: 6 November 2026

EasyX Scanner – Scan to PDF ("EasyX Scanner" or "the app") is a document scanner for Android, made by SoftX Lab ("we"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app. In short: your documents stay on your phone. The app has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and we have no server that receives your documents.

Your documents and photos

Pages you scan, photos you import, PDFs you create, text read from your pages, your signatures and your settings are stored only in the app's private storage on your phone. We never receive them, and we do not sell or share them with anyone.

Documents in the Locked folder are encrypted on your phone with AES-256-GCM. The key is protected by your PIN (and, if you choose, your fingerprint) through the Android Keystore.

Features that work on your phone

Scanning, finding page edges, cropping, filters, editing, signatures, watermarks, text recognition (OCR, English and Hindi), QR codes, document type detection, key details and the AI summary all run on your phone. Your images and text are not sent anywhere for these features.

Some of these features use Google ML Kit, which is part of Google Play services. ML Kit may send Google limited technical information — such as device model, Android version, app name and version, and performance and error data — to help Google keep these features working. It does not send your images or the text of your documents. See Google's ML Kit data disclosure: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/android-data-disclosure

The AI summary, where your phone supports it, uses Gemini Nano on your phone.

Camera

The camera is used only to scan documents and QR codes while you use the scanner. Photos are saved inside the app, not in your gallery, unless you choose Save to phone.

Optional Google Drive backup

Google Drive backup is off until you turn it on. If you turn it on, the app asks your permission to use a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive (the drive.appdata scope) and uploads a backup file of your documents there (not the Locked folder and not the trash). The app cannot see your other Drive files, and we cannot access this folder. The backup is sent to Google over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Google's privacy policy applies to data stored in Google Drive: https://policies.google.com/privacy

The app's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy

You can turn backup off at any time in Settings. To delete backups already in Drive, open Google Drive on the web → Settings → Manage apps → EasyX Scanner → Delete hidden app data.

Purchases of EasyX Pro

If you buy EasyX Pro, the payment is handled by Google Play. The app only receives whether you own Pro. We do not receive your card or payment details. Google's privacy policy applies to the payment.

Sharing and saving

Documents leave the app only when you choose to share them, open them in another app, or save them to your phone (Downloads or gallery). What happens then is up to you and the app you share with.

Permissions

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your documents stay on your phone until you delete them. Delete documents in the app (Trash keeps them for 30 days, then deletes them). Uninstalling the app deletes everything stored on your phone. Drive backups stay in your Drive until you delete them as described above. Because we hold none of your documents, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address and in the app, with a new effective date.
