DocScan — Privacy Policy
1. General Information
The DocScan application ("App") is designed with respect for user privacy. This privacy policy explains the app's data processing practices.
2. Data Collected
- Scanning and QR Data: Your scanned documents, generated PDFs, notes and tags are stored only on your device. They are never sent to any server.
- Photos: The camera image is processed during document scanning. Image processing happens on the device and is not permanently exported.
- Advertising and Measurement Data: The app uses the Yandex Advertising Network SDK to display ads. For ad delivery, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention, this SDK collects and shares the following with Yandex:
- Device or other identifiers (Advertising ID)
- Approximate location (city level, derived from IP address)
- In-app interactions (ad impressions and clicks)
- Other app activity
- App diagnostics (crash and performance logs)
- Camera Permission: Used only during document scanning and QR reading.
3. Data Sharing
Your documents, generated PDFs, notes and tags are never shared with any third party and never leave your device.
Only the advertising and measurement data listed in section 2 is shared with our ad provider, Yandex Advertising Network, for advertising and marketing, analytics, fraud prevention and security purposes. This data is required in order to serve ads and cannot be disabled from within the app.
4. Data Security
Advertising and measurement data is transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Your documents are stored in the app's private directory and cannot be accessed by other apps. You may optionally protect category folders with your device's biometric lock (fingerprint / face recognition). Biometric verification is performed by the device; your biometric data is never transferred to the app.
5. Internet Connection
DocScan's document scanning, PDF creation, image conversion and QR reading features work without an internet connection. Internet is used only to load ads and to check for app updates.
6. Third-Party Services
- Yandex Advertising Network — for serving ads. Yandex Privacy Policy
- Google Play Services (ML Kit, Document Scanner) — for document scanning and barcode reading. Google Privacy Policy
- Google Play Core — for in-app updates and reviews. Google Privacy Policy
7. Children's Privacy
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them.
8. Your Rights
Uninstalling the app removes all your documents, notes and settings from your device. You can also delete documents individually or in bulk from within the app. You may reset your Advertising ID in your device settings at any time.
