Privacy Policy

PDF Scanner ("the app") is built so the documents you scan stay on your phone. This page explains exactly what data leaves your device, what doesn't, and the choices you have.

What stays on your phone

All scanned documents, photos imported from your gallery, signatures, stamps, QR-history entries, and exported PDFs are stored locally on your device in the app's private storage area. They are never uploaded to a server by PDF Scanner.

When you share a document, save it to your gallery, print it, or export it to another app, that's an explicit action you take — the destination app receives the file the same way it would from any other source.

Anonymous usage statistics

PDF Scanner collects a small amount of anonymous, aggregated usage data to help us understand how the app is used and to make it better — things like how often the app is opened and which features see the most use. We do not collect the content of any scan.

Each device is identified by a randomly generated UUID created the first time the app launches. The UUID is not tied to your Google account, phone number, email, IP address, or any other personal identifier. We have no way to link this UUID back to you.

What we never collect

• The text content of your scans (we do not run OCR on the server side, and we do not upload your OCR results)
• The full-resolution image of any scan
• Document titles, folder names, or anything you typed
• Your contacts, location, accounts, calendar, microphone, or any other system-level data
• Your IP address as a stored data point (it appears in transient server access logs only and is not associated with your usage data)
• Names, emails, phone numbers, or any other directly identifying information

Where data is stored and how long

Data we collect is stored on a server we operate ourselves. We do not use third-party analytics providers (no Google Analytics, no Facebook SDK, no Mixpanel, etc.) for the data on this page.

The Android app does include Google's Firebase Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring SDKs to capture crash stack traces and performance traces (e.g. how long the editor takes to save a page). These are essential for keeping the app stable. Crashlytics + Performance Monitoring are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Anonymous usage statistics are retained for as long as the app is supported.

Your choices

To request deletion of all data associated with your install UUID, contact us at the email below. We will need the install UUID, which can be found in Settings → About.

Children

PDF Scanner is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to what we collect, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and prompt for fresh consent in-app.
