Effective Date: September 17, 2026
This comprehensive Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) governs the data collection, processing, local storage, security, and disclosure practices executed by [Insert Developer / Entity Name] (“Service Provider,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through the Smart Printer mobile application, including all integrated features, document tools, printer discovery protocols, document scanner, user interfaces, and software modules collectively referred to as the “Smart Printer App” or “Application”.
This Policy applies universally to any individual who downloads, installs, accesses, executes, or otherwise interacts with the Application (“User,” “you,” or “your”).
The core operational principle of the Application is built upon client-side privacy, data minimization, and local user control. The primary functionalities of the Application—namely, discovering local network printers, rendering document/photo previews, configuring page layouts, executing print jobs via local network protocols, scanning documents via your device camera, and managing recent print history—are processed directly on your mobile device.
The Service Provider does not host, upload, maintain, or index your personal photos, files, printed documents, scanned PDFs, or email attachments on remote central servers or cloud platforms. Your files, document contents, and camera scans remain strictly within the isolated, sandboxed local storage partition of your specific Android hardware or are transmitted directly across your local network (LAN/Wi-Fi) to your designated printer hardware.
By downloading, installing, launching, or using any portion of the Application, you explicitly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the data processing practices and terms set forth across all sections of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with or consent to any portion of this Policy, you are instructed to immediately cease all use of the Application and uninstall it from your mobile device.
The Application handles two distinct classifications of data: User Content & Local System Data (stored and processed locally) and Automatically Collected Technical Identifiers (processed by integrated third-party frameworks and SDKs).
To deliver mobile printing, document scanning, preview rendering, and file organization features, the Application accesses and processes the following local user data (“User Content”):
Media Files & Photos: Images selected from your device gallery (JPG, PNG, WebP) for single or multi-image printing layouts.
Documents & Text Files: Portable Document Format (.pdf) files, text files (.txt), office documents (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx), and email attachments selected for print previews and job execution.
Camera Scans: Images captured via the in-app document scanner using your device camera, including cropped, enhanced, and compiled PDF scan outputs.
Template Inputs: Custom text and image entries added to printable template layouts (e.g., cards, calendars, forms).
Local Print History & Settings: Metadata related to recent print jobs (file names, page counts, timestamp records, default print settings, printer configurations, and favorited/saved printers).
Storage Architecture Note: All User Content enumerated in this Section 2.1 is processed locally on your Android device. The Service Provider does not collect, view, store, back up, or transmit your files, photos, or scanned documents to external cloud infrastructure operated by the Service Provider.
When the Application is launched or used, integrated third-party frameworks, diagnostic SDKs, and advertising networks may automatically capture non-sensitive, technical system indicators:
Device Identifiers and Hardware Specifications: Device manufacturer, marketing model, screen resolution, display density, total memory allocation, CPU architecture, and system orientation.
System Identifiers and Locale Settings: Android operating system version, OS build number, system patch level, default language settings, system region, time zone, and mobile carrier/network operator details.
Mobile Advertising Identifiers: Resettable advertising identifiers, specifically the Google Advertising ID (AAID), used for delivering contextual or personalized ad units, capping ad impression frequency, and measuring ad campaign metrics.
Network Status & Local Connection Telemetry: Internet Protocol (IP) address (used solely to determine general regional geographic location for localized advertising compliance and diagnostic routing), local Wi-Fi connection flags, and basic network subnet details needed to initiate printer discovery.
Diagnostic Logs and Usage Metrics: Application launch frequencies, session durations, screen transition events (e.g., onboarding, source picker, paywall), feature interaction counters, API execution times, memory overflow events, runtime stack traces, and system crash reports.
To deliver mobile printing, camera scanning, and local network printer discovery, the Application requests specific system permissions from the Android operating system. You maintain complete statutory control over these permissions via your device settings.
Type: Runtime.
Purpose: Required exclusively when you open the in-app PDF Scanner module to capture document pages, crop images, and convert paper physical documents into printable PDFs.
Data Scope: Camera feeds are processed locally in real time. The camera is never accessed in the background, and captured images are stored only in your local app sandbox/device storage.
Type: Runtime (Android 12+ / legacy location fallback).
Purpose: Required to scan, discover, identify, and establish direct socket/network connections with compatible Wi-Fi and network-connected printers on your local network.
Data Scope: Used strictly for running network discovery protocols (e.g., mDNS, SSDP, IP scanning) to find nearby printers. The Application does not track, collect, store, or transmit your physical geographic location. Android OS requires location flags to perform Wi-Fi network scanning on older operating system versions.
Type: Runtime (Android 13+).
Purpose: Required to display active print job progress, spooling alerts, scan completion confirmations, or system status updates in your device status bar.
Data Scope: Used strictly to post local operational notifications on your screen. It does not read or intercept notifications from other applications.
Type: Normal.
Purpose: Required to verify network connectivity prior to searching for Wi-Fi printers, support third-party ad serving (via Google AdMob), process subscription status validation (via RevenueCat/Google Play Billing), and log anonymous diagnostic events (via Firebase).
Data Scope: Queries system network status flags and routes network traffic between the app, local network printers, and third-party API endpoints.
The Application incorporates software development kits (SDKs) provided by established third-party services. These third parties process technical device data under their own independent privacy documentation.
Function: Delivers foundational operating infrastructure, app licensing verification, platform API routing, and device security checks.
Data Processed: Device hardware metrics, IP addresses, OS versions, and platform interaction logs.
Function: Manages the distribution, rendering, frequency capping, and performance measurement of banner, interstitial, native, and rewarded ad units within the free tier of the Application.
Data Processed: Advertising IDs (AAID), IP address, coarse geographic location, ad interaction logs, and device hardware specifications. AdMob may deliver personalized or non-personalized ads based on user location, local regulations, and Consent Management Platform (CMP) choices.
Function: Monitors system stability, tracks feature adoption, logs operational performance metrics, and records detailed crash stack traces following application errors.
Data Processed: Anonymous installation IDs, session duration, screen interaction events, memory states at the time of a crash, and device hardware signatures.
Function: Dynamically adjusts in-app parameters, such as paywall triggers, ad frequency caps, feature flags, and UI configurations, without requiring a full application update.
Data Processed: Anonymous installation tokens, app version, language, and regional location.
Function: Validates digital subscription receipts, tracks premium status entitlements, and manages ad-free subscription states.
Data Processed: Anonymous user identifiers, purchase transaction timestamps, product IDs, and Google Play receipt tokens. RevenueCat and the Application do not collect or process your credit card or financial payment details; all transactions are securely handled directly by Google Play.
When executing a print job, the Application converts your selected document or image into a printer-compatible data stream (such as PDF, PostScript, PCL, or standard image raster data) directly on your device. This data stream is transmitted over your local Wi-Fi or local area network (LAN) directly to the local IP address of your selected printer.
Your print job payloads, images, and document pages are not routed through external cloud printing servers operated by the Service Provider. Data transmission occurs entirely within your local local network environment, bounded by your home or organization's network security configuration.
The Application supports Android system integrations, including the "Share-to-Print" feature and standard file export options.
When you utilize the "Share-to-Print" feature from external applications (such as email clients, web browsers, or file managers) or export a scanned PDF document to another app, the content is handed off directly through native Android system protocols.
Once a document, photo, or scan is exported or shared outside the Application to third-party destinations (such as messaging apps, email services, or cloud storage platforms), the subsequent handling of that data is governed entirely by the privacy policies and security practices of those receiving platforms.
Because all documents, recent print history, saved templates, favorited printer configurations, and camera scans are stored locally within the internal database sandbox of your Android device, your data is retained indefinitely until you manually perform one of the following erasure procedures:
In-App History Deletion: Clearing recent files or removing favorited printers inside the Application interface immediately removes those items from the active local database.
Application Storage Clearing: Navigating to Android System Settings > Apps > Smart Printer > Storage > Clear Data / Clear Storage permanently wipes all locally cached files, recent print logs, app preferences, saved templates, and custom settings.
Application Uninstallation: Uninstalling the Application from your mobile device triggers the Android operating system to completely delete the isolated sandbox storage directory, thereby permanently purging all locally stored files, cached print jobs, and configuration data.
Technical non-personal identifiers processed by integrated third-party analytics, ad platforms, and crash diagnostic services are retained by those respective third-party providers according to their standard corporate retention policies (typically ranging from 60 days to 14 months).
The Application provides compatibility interfaces for network-enabled printing hardware manufactured by third-party entities (including, but not limited to, HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Samsung, Xerox, Lexmark, Ricoh, Kyocera, and others). All product names, logos, brands, trademarks, and registered trademarks mentioned within the Application or associated documentation belong to their respective owners.
The Application is an independent software utility developed by the Service Provider. It is not officially affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or manufactured by any of the third-party printer hardware manufacturers referenced within the Application interface.
The Application is a general audience productivity utility and is not intended for, marketed to, or directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in specific jurisdictions governed by the European Union General Data Protection Regulation).
We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from children. If a parent, legal guardian, or regulatory authority becomes aware that a child has provided technical device identifiers through third-party SDK frameworks, please contact us so we can initiate prompt removal of any associated technical identifiers from our analytics partners.
Technical diagnostic data, advertising identifiers, and anonymous crash logs processed by integrated third-party SDKs (such as Google and Firebase) may be transferred to, processed in, and stored on servers located outside your state, province, or country of residence, including within the United States. These transfers are executed under standard contractual clauses, lawful adequacy frameworks, and corporate privacy policies maintained by those third-party providers.
Depending on your geographical location and local statutory provisions (e.g., GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA), you may hold specific statutory rights regarding your technical diagnostic identifiers:
Right of Access and Transparency: The right to request information regarding the categories of technical and diagnostic data collected by integrated third-party services.
Right to Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising: You have the right to decline or restrict personalized advertising. You can exercise this right at any time by navigating to your device settings (Android Settings > Privacy > Ads > Reset or Delete Advertising ID) or by configuring your choices within the in-app Consent Management Platform (CMP) choices prompt.
Right to Data Erasure: The right to request the deletion of non-essential technical identifiers held by integrated third-party SDK platforms.
To submit a formal statutory privacy query or exercise your regional rights regarding diagnostic telemetry, please contact our Privacy Representative using the contact details in Section 13.
The Service Provider employs standard software development practices, code obfuscation mechanisms, secure Android sandbox architecture, and encrypted transport layer security (TLS) protocols for third-party API communications to safeguard the integrity of the Application framework.
Because your photos, documents, scanned PDFs, and local print logs are stored locally on your physical device, the ultimate security of your content relies directly on your device security posture. To maintain maximum protection, we strongly advise that you:
Maintain an active device lock screen utilizing strong PINs, passwords, or biometric authentication (fingerprint/facial recognition).
Avoid rooting or jailbreaking your Android device, which could compromise the application sandbox isolation.
Keep your Android operating system updated with the latest manufacturer security patches.
The Service Provider reserves the explicit right to update, revise, amend, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect software updates, feature additions, statutory compliance requirements, or operational changes.
When modifications are executed, the updated Privacy Policy will be published within the Application and posted on associated distribution channels with a revised "Effective Date" stated at the top of the document. Your continued access to, installation of, or use of the Application following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy signifies your binding acceptance of the modified practices.
