Information We Collect
1. Information You Provide
- **Scanned Documents & Images:** When you use the camera to scan documents or select images from your photo library, these files are processed **locally on your device**. We do **not** upload, store, or transmit your scanned documents or images to any external server.
- **PDF Files:** Any PDF files you create, edit, merge, compress, or convert are stored **locally on your device**. We do not have access to the content of your documents.
2. Automatically Collected Information
- **Subscription & Purchase Data:** If you subscribe to our premium features, payment processing is handled entirely by **Apple's App Store**. We do not collect or store your payment information (credit card numbers, bank details, etc.). We use **RevenueCat** as our subscription management platform, which receives anonymized purchase receipts from the App Store to manage your subscription status.
- **Anonymous Usage Analytics:** We may collect anonymized, non-personally-identifiable usage data to improve the App's performance and user experience. This may include general information such as app launch frequency, feature usage patterns, device type, and operating system version. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
3. Camera & Photo Library Access
The App requests access to:
- **Camera:** To scan documents and capture images for PDF creation. Camera access is used **only** when you actively initiate a scan. We do not access your camera in the background.
- **Photo Library:** To allow you to select existing photos for PDF conversion, image-to-PDF features, and document editing. We only access the specific photos you select.
These permissions are optional and can be revoked at any time through your device settings.

- Process and manage your subscription status
- Improve the App's performance, stability, and user experience
- Fix bugs and resolve technical issues

Data Storage & Security
- **Local Processing:** All document scanning, PDF creation, editing, merging, compressing, and conversion operations are performed **entirely on your device**. Your files never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to share them using the system share sheet.
- **No Cloud Storage:** We do not operate any cloud servers that store your documents. Your files remain on your device and under your control.
- **Encryption:** If you choose to password-protect a PDF, the encryption is applied locally on your device.
