I. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy policy explains our data protection policy and describes the types of data we may process when you use our Scanner App Application.

When we refer to personal data (or personal information) we mean any information of any kind relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

We do not compromise with your privacy. We design all our products and services with your privacy in mind. We involve experts from various fields, including legal, security and others to make sure that no decision is taken without respect for your privacy.
