Welcome to PDF Scanner – Scan to PDF (“we,” “our,” or “the App”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.
This Privacy Policy explains how the App accesses, collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our document scanning and PDF creation features.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Depending on the features you use and the services integrated into the App, we may access or collect the following information.
The App may request camera permission to scan paper documents, receipts, notes, forms, and other supported materials.
Camera access is used to capture documents for scanning. The App should access the camera only as needed for its features and with the appropriate permission.
The App may access documents, images, and files that you select or create using its scanning features.
These files may include receipts, notes, invoices, forms, and other documents. Files may contain personal or sensitive information.
Documents are processed or stored according to the App's actual implementation and your chosen actions. If the App uploads files to a server or third-party service, that processing must be disclosed accurately in this policy and any required in-app notice.
The App and its integrated services may collect limited technical information, such as:
Device model and operating system version
App version and basic diagnostic information
Crash reports and performance data
App interactions and usage statistics
Advertising identifiers and related advertising information, where applicable
This information may be used to maintain app functionality, diagnose technical problems, improve performance, and support advertising and analytics.
If you contact us for support, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and the details of your inquiry.
Please avoid sending confidential documents or sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.
Information accessed or collected through the App may be used to:
Provide document scanning and PDF creation features.
Save, organize, and manage scanned documents.
Enable you to export or share PDF files when supported.

The App may use third-party services to support its functionality. Only the services actually integrated into the published version of the App should be listed here.
If Firebase services are integrated, they may process technical information, diagnostic information, app events, or other data depending on the Firebase products and configuration used.
Firebase data handling is governed by Google's applicable privacy terms.

Third-party providers process information under their own applicable privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies.
We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.
Information may be shared in the following circumstances, where applicable:
Service providers: With service providers that support app analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or other app functions.
Sharing initiated by you: When you choose to export or share a document through another app or service.
Legal requirements: When disclosure is required by applicable law or a valid legal process.
Security and protection: When reasonably necessary to protect users, our rights, or the security of the App.
We do not publicly disclose your private documents intentionally. However, when you choose to share a document, the receiving app or service may process it under its own privacy policy.
Scanned documents and generated PDF files may be stored locally on your device or in another storage location supported by the App.
Where documents are stored locally, their security may also depend on your device security settings, operating system, and backup configuration.
We take reasonable measures appropriate to the App's implementation to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
No electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If the App transmits information over a network, appropriate security measures should be used to protect that transmission.
Documents saved on your device generally remain there until you delete them or remove them through the applicable device or app controls.
You can delete locally stored documents using the App's available deletion features or your device's file management tools, where supported.
Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to the applicable provider's retention policies and settings.
If you contact us with a privacy-related request, we will review it and respond as required by applicable law. Some information may need to be retained when legally required.
If the App supports user accounts or stores user data on its servers, appropriate account and associated data deletion procedures must also be provided.
The App may request the following permissions depending on the features you use:
Camera: To capture documents for scanning.
Photos, media, or file access: To select, save, open, or manage supported files, where required.
Internet access: To support online services, analytics, advertisements, or other connected features.
Permissions are requested as needed for supported features. You can manage available permissions through your device settings. Revoking a permission may prevent the related feature from working correctly.
The App is not intended to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If the App is directed to children or is intended for a mixed-age audience, additional requirements may apply to its data practices, advertising, consent mechanisms, and third-party SDKs.
If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the situation.
