Privacy Policy — My Scanner: PDF Scanner

Effective Date: September 30, 2026
Last Updated: September 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to My Scanner: PDF Scanner App ("the App"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.

This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use its document scanning, PDF creation, OCR, document editing, backup and restore, subscription, advertising, notification, analytics, crash reporting, and support features.

The App is designed so that document scanning and document-processing features are primarily performed locally on your device. We do not operate a cloud service for storing your scanned documents.

2. Local Document Processing

Document Scanning and Processing

The App provides document scanning and document-processing features including:

These document-processing operations are designed to be performed locally on your device.

We do not upload your scanned documents, document images, or OCR document content to servers operated by us for storage or document processing.

No User Account Required

The App does not require you to create an account to use its core scanning functionality.

We do not require your name, phone number, or other identity information for ordinary document scanning.

Local Documents

Documents and images created or scanned using the App are stored locally on your device unless you explicitly choose to export, share, or save them using another application or service.

If you uninstall the App, locally stored App data may be removed according to Android's normal application-data management.

3. Backup and Restore

The App may provide a manual backup and restore feature.

When you create a backup, the App may create a local backup file, such as a ZIP archive, containing information necessary to restore your documents.

You may choose where to save or export that backup using Android's system file picker or another storage or cloud service that you select.

Backup and restore actions are initiated by you.

Backup files are not uploaded to or stored on servers operated by us, and we do not have access to your personal cloud-storage account or files stored with a third-party service that you choose.

If you choose to upload, share, or save a backup through another service, that service's own privacy policy and terms will apply.

4. Information Processed Through Third-Party Services

Although document processing is primarily performed locally, the App uses certain third-party Google services for advertising, analytics, crash reporting, notifications, subscriptions, security, app functionality, and related services.

These third-party services may collect or process certain information according to their own privacy policies, terms, configurations, and applicable user choices.

The App does not use these services to upload or store your scanned documents, document images, or OCR document content on servers operated by us.
