Privacy Policy for PaperSnap

Effective Date: October 11, 2026

Last Updated: October 31, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy governs your use of the mobile application PaperSnap ("Application"), created and managed by ToufiqLabs. PaperSnap is provided as a free, ad-supported mobile application.

PaperSnap is designed to function as an offline utility for document scanning, ID card stitching/merging, clean filtering, and PDF generation. We are deeply committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring full compliance with Google Play Store policies and developer distribution agreements.

2. Information Collection and Local Processing

PaperSnap prioritizes offline operations and strict data minimization:

• No Document or Media Uploads: PaperSnap does NOT collect, store on remote servers, transmit, or share your scanned documents, photos, camera captures, or exported PDF files.

• 100% On-Device Processing: All document operations—including camera scanning, image adjustments, document edge detection, cropping, and PDF merging—occur entirely locally on your device's hardware. Your personal data and sensitive files never leave your device through our software.

• No Account or Personal Identifiers (PII): We do not require account registration, login credentials, or personal contact details (such as your name, phone number, or home address) to use the Application.

3. Device Permissions and Scoped Photo Access

To deliver its features without compromising user privacy, PaperSnap requests access only to minimal, strictly essential system capabilities:

• Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA):

• • Purpose: Allows the Application to use your device's camera to capture physical documents, ID cards, and receipts directly.

  • Data Usage: Handled in real time on the device solely for image generation and document cropping. No camera streams or images are uploaded or shared.

• Android System Photo Picker (No Broad Storage Access):

  • Purpose: Allows users to selectively pick an existing image or document from the device gallery for PDF conversion.

  • Data Usage: PaperSnap uses the standard Android Photo Picker. This gives the app temporary, scoped access exclusively to the specific image(s) you choose. PaperSnap explicitly disclaims and blocks broad storage/media permissions (including READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO, and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).

• Notification Permission (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS):

• • Purpose: Required on Android 13+ devices to alert you when background tasks (such as large PDF exports) are completed or when important service updates occur.

4. Third-Party Services and Analytics

PaperSnap integrates recognized third-party software development kits (SDKs) to facilitate app improvements and monetization. These services may collect technical device identifiers in accordance with their respective privacy policies:

• Google AdMob:

  • Used to display banner, interstitial, or rewarded advertisements. AdMob may collect device advertising IDs, general IP locations, and diagnostic info to provide relevant ads.

  • Google Privacy & Terms

  • How Google uses information from sites or apps

• Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics:

  • Used to monitor application performance, app stability, and non-identifiable usage statistics to diagnose bugs and crashes.

  • Firebase Privacy and Security Documentation

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM):

  • Used to manage and deliver push notifications directly to user devices.

  • Google Cloud Privacy Notice

5. Data Retention and Security

Because PaperSnap does not maintain external databases or store user documents on cloud servers, your scanned documents and generated files remain securely under your control on your local device. We implement industry-standard practices on-device and rely on Android's sandboxed storage and file-provider mechanisms to prevent unauthorized file tampering.

6. Children's Privacy

PaperSnap does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please notify us immediately so we can take appropriate measures.

7. Policy Updates

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements, architectural updates, or regulatory obligations. The updated date at the top of this policy reflects the latest version, which becomes effective immediately upon publication on our official site.
