Privacy Policy for NS AI Scanner

Last Updated: December 30, 2025

Introduction

NS AI Scanner (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) is committed to protecting your privacy with a strict privacy-first, fully on-device approach. The App requires no account registration, collects no personal information, and performs all core features (document scanning, QR code scanning, OCR/text extraction) entirely locally on your device. No scanned images, videos, documents, or extracted text ever leave your device.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Personal Information

We do not collect, request, store, or transmit any personal information, including:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Physical address

• Login credentials

• Any account-related data

1.2 Information Accessed Automatically

To deliver core functionality, the App accesses the following non-personal information:

Camera

Used exclusively for real-time scanning of documents, QR codes, and images for OCR.

• All processing occurs locally using on-device libraries. No images, videos, or scan results are uploaded, transmitted, or stored externally.

Storage (Read/Write)

Used solely to save scanned documents, PDFs, and extracted text as files on your device.

• We do not read, collect, back up, transmit, or access any other files on your device.

Device & App Technical Information

• Limited, non-identifying data such as:

  • Device model

  • Operating system version

  • App version

  • System language

• This information is used only to optimize compatibility, stability, performance, and bug fixes. It is not linked to any user identity or used for profiling/tracking.

1.3 Information from Third Parties

We do not receive, collect, or import any user data from third-party sources.

2. How We Use Information

Any information the App accesses is used only to:

• Deliver core features (scanning, QR detection, on-device OCR)

• Improve app performance, reliability, compatibility, and usability

• Respond to user support inquiries when you contact us

The App does not use analytics or tracking SDKs other than Google AdMob for advertising purposes.

We do not use any data for:

• Profiling or creating user profiles

• Behavioral tracking or cross-app tracking

• Advertising personalization by us

• Selling, renting, or marketing purposes

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share any user data.

Because we maintain zero server-side storage of user content or personal data, there is typically no user data available for us to disclose.

Limited disclosure may occur only in these cases:

• With your explicit consent — if you specifically authorize it

• Legal requirements — when compelled by valid law, court order, or government request

• Protection of rights — to protect the safety, rights, or property of users, the App, or the public

4. Third-Party Technologies (All On-Device)

The App integrates the following technologies, which operate entirely locally on your device with no data transmission to their providers:

• Google ML Kit — powers document scanning, QR code detection, and OCR

• Tesseract OCR — open-source engine for local text extraction

No scanned content, images, extracted text, or personal data is ever sent to Google or any other third-party server.

5. Advertisements & Monetization (Exclusively Google AdMob)

The App is free and uses a freemium model supported solely by Google AdMob advertisements.

What AdMob Collects

Google AdMob may collect non-personal identifiers and device data directly from your device, including:

• Advertising ID

• Device type and operating system

• General usage metrics for ad serving and measurement

This data is collected and processed directly by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy and the Google AdMob Privacy Notice. We do not access, receive, store, control, or link this data to any user.

Important Assurances

• Advertisements have no access whatsoever to your scanned documents, images, videos, OCR results, or any other files on your device.

• We do not use or share any App-accessed data to personalize ads or influence AdMob targeting.

User Controls for Personalized Ads

You can opt out of personalized (interest-based) advertising at any time via your device settings:

• On Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization

• You can also reset your Advertising ID in the same menu to limit tracking across apps.

For more details, review Google's advertising controls in your Google Account at My Ad Center.

Pro Status (Ad-Free + Premium Features)

Users may optionally unlock Pro status (removes all ads and enables premium PDF/tools features) free of charge for the remainder of the current calendar month by choosing to view 100 AdMob advertisements within that month. The counter resets automatically on the first day of each new month.

6. Internet Usage

The App uses internet access only for:

• Checking for app updates

• Loading and displaying AdMob advertisements

No scanned documents, images, videos, or extracted text are ever transmitted over the internet.

7. Data Security

By processing and storing everything locally on your device — and never uploading user content — we eliminate server-side breach risks for your scans and files.

We follow industry-standard secure coding practices for the App itself. However, no electronic method or local storage is 100% immune to risks (e.g., device loss/theft, malware). You are responsible for securing your device (using passcode/biometrics, keeping OS updated, etc.) and managing/deleting files as needed.

8. Data Retention

We retain no user data on any servers.

All scanned documents, PDFs, and extracted text exist only as local files on your device. You have full control and can delete them anytime via the App or your device's file manager.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended for their use. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we learn that such information has been provided, we will promptly delete it (though none is collected or stored by us in the first place).

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in the App, laws, or best practices.

• The effective date will be updated at the top of this document.

• For material changes, we will provide in-app notification or a prominent notice upon opening the App.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

11. Permissions Summary (Google Play Disclosure)

The App requests only these permissions, all strictly necessary:

• Camera — for document/QR scanning and OCR

• Storage — to save scanned PDFs and text files locally

• Internet — for app updates and ad loading

All content processing is local. No personal data or document content is transmitted.
