Scanity is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect or store any sensitive personal data such as login credentials, payment information, or government IDs.

The app may collect and store the following limited information locally on your device:

  1. Scan metadata: e.g., scan name, creation date, page count.
  2. User preferences: app settings such as theme, filters, and scan quality.
  3. Recent scans list: to provide quick access to previously scanned documents

This data is stored securely in a local SQLite database on your device and is never uploaded to our servers.

 1.Camera (android.permission.CAMERA): To scan documents, receipts, ID cards, books, and other materials.

2. Gallery & File Access:

3. Data Storage & Security

  • All data (scans, metadata, preferences) is stored locally on your device only.

 

  • No document images, files, or metadata are transmitted to external servers.

 

  • Database operations use Android’s secure SQLite APIs and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection or unauthorized access.

 

4. Sharing & Backup

  • You may choose to share scanned documents via third-party apps (e.g., WhatsApp, email, or cloud storage). This sharing is initiated by you and handled by the selected third-party service.

 

  • Scanity does not automatically upload or share your documents with anyone.

 

5. Children’s Privacy

  • Scanity is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data, please contact us.

 

6. Changes to This Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the App after changes indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
