We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Application handles information when you use the Service.

The Application is designed with a privacy-first, offline-first architecture and does not collect, store, transmit, or monetize any user data.

All processing is performed locally on your device.

2. On-Device Processing

All core features are executed entirely on-device using native iOS frameworks, including:

Document scanning
Image-to-PDF conversion
OCR (text recognition)
File processing and editing

Your files never leave your device and are never uploaded to any external server or cloud service.

The Application is distributed via the Apple App Store.

Apple may collect and process certain anonymous and aggregated technical data depending on your iOS settings, including:

Crash reports
Device model

App performance metrics
Region and language settings

This data:

Is anonymized by Apple before being shared with developers
Cannot be used to identify you

We do not receive any personally identifiable information or device-level identifiers.

Can be deleted at any time by removing the application or deleting files manually

Security is ensured by the iOS operating system’s built-in protections, including sandboxing and encryption.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Application does not knowingly collect any personal information from any user, including children.

Since no data is collected or transmitted, the Application is safe for general use.

The Application is designed with privacy-by-design principles and aligns with major data protection regulations, including:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
