Introduction
Welcome to ScanPro ("we", "our", or "us"), developed by AKD Studio. We respect your privacy and are deeply committed to protecting your personal information and documents.
Our Core Privacy Guarantee: ScanPro operates primarily on-device. Your scanned documents, ID cards, photos, and files are stored locally on your device or in your personal private Google Drive account. We do not store, copy, or read your scanned documents on any external servers.
1. Information We Collect and Process
ScanPro collects only the minimal data required to provide scanner functionalities:
- Images and Scanned Documents: Images captured using your camera or imported from your gallery are processed entirely on your device using hardware-accelerated processing and Google ML Kit on-device intelligence.
- Google Account Information (Optional): When you choose to use the Google Drive Backup & Sync feature, the app requests permission to connect to your Google Drive to save and restore your backups in your personal Google Drive storage.
- Device & Diagnostics Data: Anonymous technical information (device model, OS version, performance metrics, and crash logs) collected through Google Play Services / Firebase Crashlytics to help us fix crashes and improve stability.
2. Device Permissions Used
To function as a document and ID scanner, ScanPro requests the following Android permissions:
- Camera (android.permission.CAMERA): Required to scan documents, ID cards (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport), and receipts using CameraX and ML Kit AI Document Scanner. Photos are processed exclusively on your device.
- Storage / Media: Required to export generated PDF files and JPG images to your device's storage so you can view, share, or print them.
- Vibrate (android.permission.VIBRATE): Provides tactile haptic feedback when pressing the scanner shutter button.
- Internet (android.permission.INTERNET): Required solely for optional Google Drive cloud synchronization, ad delivery via Google AdMob, and crash reporting.
3. Google Drive Cloud Backup & Restore
ScanPro provides an optional Google Drive Sync feature to ensure you never lose your documents:
- Backups are uploaded directly from your device to your personal Google Drive storage.
- ScanPro only accesses files created by the app in your private drive (using standard
drive.file / drive.appdata scopes).
- No third party, including AKD Studio, has access to your Google Drive credentials or your stored documents.
- You can disconnect Google Drive sync or delete your backups at any time directly through the app settings or via your Google Account permissions page.
4. Third-Party Services and Advertisements
ScanPro integrates trusted third-party SDKs compliant with Google Play Developer Policies:
- Google Play Services: Powers on-device document detection and Google Drive OAuth sign-in. (Google Privacy Policy)
- Google AdMob: Serves advertisements to support free development. AdMob may collect anonymous advertising IDs in compliance with Google Play Policy. (AdMob Privacy Policy)
- Google ML Kit: Executes on-device optical character recognition (OCR) and document corner detection with zero data sent to external servers.
5. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your documents:
- All document image processing, perspective correction, filter applications, and PDF compilations occur 100% locally on your smartphone.
- All network communication (Google Drive sync, API calls) uses industry-standard TLS/SSL encryption (HTTPS).
6. Children's Privacy
ScanPro is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
