Welcome to ScanMela – QR & PDF Scanner ("ScanMela," "the App," "we," "our," or "us").
ScanMela is a mobile application developed by Sohan Hossain that provides QR code scanning, barcode scanning, QR code generation, document scanning, PDF creation, and document management tools.
We respect user privacy and are committed to providing transparent information about how data is accessed, processed, collected, stored, and shared when using our application.
This Privacy Policy explains the types of information associated with ScanMela, how that information may be handled, the permissions used by the App, and the choices available to users.
By using ScanMela, you acknowledge the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.
ScanMela accesses and processes information necessary to provide its scanning and document-related features.
ScanMela uses your device's camera to scan QR codes, read supported barcodes, and capture physical documents.
Camera images may be processed to identify encoded information, detect document content, and generate digital files.
The App does not intentionally record video in the background.
You may select photos or images stored on your device to scan QR codes, create documents, or generate PDF files.
Selected images and documents are processed to perform the actions you request.
ScanMela's core document-saving features are designed to store generated files locally on your device rather than in a developer-operated cloud account.
QR codes and barcodes may contain different types of information, including:
Website URLs
Text and other written content
Email addresses
Phone numbers
Contact details
Other information encoded by the creator of the code
ScanMela processes supported QR code and barcode content to display scanning results and provide relevant actions, such as copying or sharing information.
ScanMela may process email addresses and phone numbers when they are entered by users, included in scanned QR codes or barcodes, or present in user-selected content.
These details may be used to generate QR codes, interpret scanning results, and perform related actions requested by users.
The Google Play Data Safety declaration for the current release identifies email addresses and phone numbers as collected data types following information reported during Google Play's review checks.
The precise technical source and processing pathway of these reported off-device data transmissions are under investigation. We do not represent these details as being intentionally uploaded to or stored by a ScanMela-operated user account database.
Any confirmed additional processing or third-party collection will be reflected in updates to this Privacy Policy and the App's Google Play Data Safety declaration.
Third-party technologies integrated into ScanMela may process certain technical information, depending on their configuration and use.
Such information may include:
Device model and operating system version
Application version and package information
Device or installation identifiers
Performance information
Diagnostic events and error information
Application interaction data
IP addresses, where applicable
These data categories may be used by relevant service providers for diagnostics, performance monitoring, security, analytics, or other purposes described in their documentation.
Information accessed or processed through ScanMela is used to provide and maintain the application's features, including:
Scanning QR codes and supported barcodes
Recognizing information from images
Generating QR codes from supported content
Capturing physical documents
Creating single-page and multi-page PDF files
Downloading and sharing generated documents
Managing saved PDFs and scan history
Providing application settings
Supporting application compatibility and performance
Where integrated SDKs collect technical information, their data processing may support diagnostics, usage analytics, security, and other applicable functions.
ScanMela does not require users to register an account or sign in to access its core scanning and PDF creation features.
We do not intentionally sell scanned document contents or generated PDF files to advertisers or data brokers.
ScanMela may request access to certain device features depending on the actions performed by users.
Camera access is used for QR code scanning, barcode recognition, and document capture.
Photo or file access may be used to select images, process documents, generate PDF files, and save or export results.
On supported Android versions, system file and photo pickers may be used to let users select specific content.
Internet connectivity may be used by integrated Google services, SDKs, and other network-dependent components.
Permission requests and access behavior may vary according to the Android version and device configuration.
You can manage applicable permissions through your device settings.
Disabling necessary permissions may prevent certain application features from functioning.
ScanMela is designed to store supported scanning results and generated documents on the user's device.
Eligible app-managed scan history records are designed to be automatically removed after seven (7) days.
Eligible PDF documents managed within the application are designed to be automatically deleted after seven (7) days.
The timing of automatic cleanup may depend on application activity, operating system restrictions, and background execution behavior.
As a result, eligible records or files may not be deleted at the exact moment they reach seven days of age.
PDF documents or other files downloaded to public device folders, exported from the App, shared with another service, or backed up separately may remain available after the application's internal cleanup.
Users may need to delete these exported or downloaded copies manually.
Retention of information collected by third-party SDKs is governed by the applicable provider's practices and is not necessarily controlled by ScanMela's seven-day local cleanup feature.
Documents processed through ScanMela may contain personal, financial, educational, professional, medical, or other sensitive information.
Users are responsible for deciding which documents to scan, save, export, or share.
ScanMela's core document-management workflow is designed around device-based storage.
We do not provide a developer-operated cloud account service for storing users' scanned documents.
However, integrated third-party technologies may process certain technical information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Users should review sensitive documents before sharing them with external applications or services.
ScanMela integrates certain Google technologies to support application functionality.
Depending on the installed version and enabled components, these technologies may include:
Google ML Kit supports barcode recognition and related scanning functionality.
According to Google's published documentation, ML Kit may collect technical information such as device information, application information, performance metrics, installation identifiers, and diagnostic events for diagnostics and usage analytics.
Google states that the data described in its ML Kit disclosure is encrypted in transit and is not shared with third parties by ML Kit.
Certain scanning and device-related functions may depend on Google Play services.
Google Play services may process information according to Google's applicable service documentation and privacy practices.
ScanMela includes the Google Mobile Ads SDK as part of its application dependencies.
Google's documentation describes the Mobile Ads SDK as capable of collecting and sharing certain information, including IP addresses, application interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers, for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.
The actual data handling applicable to ScanMela depends on the SDK version and how the SDK is initialized and used.

Google Mobile Ads Data Disclosure:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure
Advertisements are disabled in the current ScanMela application configuration.
The App includes advertising-related SDK support that may be used in a future update.
Although banner and interstitial advertisements are not intended to load while advertising is disabled, the presence of the advertising SDK and related permissions must be considered separately from whether ads are displayed.
The application bundle may include the Android Advertising ID permission through the integrated Google Mobile Ads SDK.
If advertising is enabled in a future version, advertisements may be delivered through Google AdMob.
Advertising-related processing may include device identifiers, IP addresses, app interactions, diagnostics, and other information described in the applicable Google SDK documentation.
We will review our Google Play declarations and update this Privacy Policy when changes to advertising functionality or data-processing practices require it.
ScanMela allows users to share supported scanning results, QR code images, and PDF documents with other applications.
When users choose to share information, the receiving application or service may process that information according to its own privacy policy.
Integrated SDKs may transmit certain technical or diagnostic information to their respective service providers.
Whether a particular transfer qualifies as collection or sharing under Google Play's Data Safety rules depends on the nature of the transfer, the receiving party, and applicable reporting exemptions.
We aim to maintain accurate disclosures regarding these transfers in our Google Play Data Safety information.
ScanMela does not provide a developer-operated cloud account service for storing users' scanned documents.
We do not intentionally sell users' saved document contents to advertising companies or data brokers.
We take reasonable measures to support the privacy and security of information handled by ScanMela.
These measures include Android's application storage protections, permission controls, and supported system file-access mechanisms.
Google's published documentation states that data collected through ML Kit is encrypted in transit using HTTPS and that the Google Mobile Ads SDK uses transport encryption for the data covered by its disclosure.
Users should protect their devices with appropriate security settings and avoid sharing confidential information with untrusted parties.
No application, storage system, or electronic transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
ScanMela provides several ways for users to manage locally stored information.
Users may:
Manage camera and file permissions through Android settings.
Review supported scan history.
Delete supported scan history records.
Delete saved PDF documents using available application controls.
Export important PDF files before automatic cleanup.
Remove downloaded files through their device's file manager.
Choose whether to share files with other applications.
Uninstall ScanMela.
Uninstalling the application generally removes app-private information, subject to Android storage behavior and applicable backup settings.
Files saved in public folders or shared with external services may remain after the application is uninstalled.
Deleting locally stored files does not necessarily delete technical information previously collected by third-party services.
