ScanLocker Privacy Policy

1. Overview

ScanLocker is a document scanner app that captures documents, enhances images, creates PDFs, extracts text with OCR, recognizes business cards and ID cards, and protects files with passwords and app lock. Document scanning and file processing run locally on your device. No user accounts and no cloud database of documents. Optional, consent-gated analytics and crash diagnostics are described in Section 8. Advertisements are served via Google AdMob, and optional Pro purchases are validated through RevenueCat and the app store.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect or Share

We do not collect, store on our servers, or share your documents, photos, personal info, contacts, or financial data. Document processing stays 100% on your device. Advertising identifiers may be processed by Google AdMob as described in Section 6, purchase history plus an anonymous app user ID may be processed by RevenueCat as described in Section 7, and consent-gated analytics/crash diagnostics are described in Section 8.

• No third-party document sharing: your scans and passwords are never sold, rented, or sent to brokers, advertisers, or analytics providers.
• No cloud sync: scanned files, names, OCR text, app-lock state, and PDF passwords stay on the device.
• User-directed sharing only: a file leaves the device only when you explicitly tap Share and choose another app through Android/iOS share sheet.

3. Permissions — On-Device Use Only

Note: ScanLocker does not declare ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, or MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

4. Local Storage & Deletion

• Stored on-device: scanned PDFs/images in app-private storage (`getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()/ScanLocker`), PDF passwords in platform secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android EncryptedSharedPreferences), app-lock and settings in secure local preferences.
• Encryption: PDF protection uses 256-bit AES PDF encryption. Loss of password means the encrypted PDF cannot be recovered.
• Delete anytime: delete files from the in-app document library or Android/iOS Settings > Apps > ScanLocker > Storage > Clear Storage / uninstall. All local data, passwords, and settings are removed permanently. There is no server copy because we have no accounts/servers.
• Retention: data remains until you delete or uninstall. No automatic cloud backups.

5. Children

ScanLocker is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU); the target audience is 13 and older. The app contains only general-audience document scanning tools with an Everyone content rating. Ads are requested with a maximum ad content rating of G.

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

ScanLocker is supported by advertisements served by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC). When the app requests an ad, Google may collect and process device identifiers (including the Google advertising ID), IP address, and ad interaction events (impressions, clicks) for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. For more details, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy and policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Your documents are never shared: Google and advertisers never receive access to your scanned images, document contents, OCR extracted text, or passwords. Ad requests contain none of that data.

Rewarded ads are optional: a few Pro actions (receipt export, e-signature, page organizing, extra folders) can be unlocked once by choosing to watch a rewarded video — up to three times a day. Rewarded ads are never required: declining, or reaching the daily limit, only means the action needs Pro. Watching a rewarded ad grants that one action and does not change your ad privacy choices or consent state.

Consent & Privacy Options: Where required by law (EEA, UK, Switzerland), Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form is presented before ads are served. You can review or change your ad privacy choices anytime in the app under Settings > Legal > Ad Privacy Settings.

7. Purchases & Subscriptions (RevenueCat)

ScanLocker Pro is an optional in-app purchase processed by Google Play Billing or the Apple App Store. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases, restore entitlements, and show live prices. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, purchase history and entitlement status, and limited device information (platform and app version). We never receive your payment card details — the store handles payment.

• Prices, billing periods and availability are shown in the app and are provided by the store at the time of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account. Manage or cancel there at any time.
• Lifetime and Founder Lifetime purchases are one-time payments and do not renew.
• Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Use “Restore purchases” after reinstalling.

8. Analytics & Crash Reports (Firebase)

ScanLocker can use Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand feature usage and fix defects. Neither service is given access to your documents, OCR text, file/folder names, tags, contact details, receipt amounts or passwords.

• Analytics (free and Pro): collection starts disabled and turns on only after you give consent through the in-app consent form. It stays on for ScanLocker Pro subscribers too, so the app can be improved for paying users; Pro users send no advertising requests. Events are limited to product actions such as onboarding steps, paywall viewed, plan selected, purchase started/completed, scan started/saved, search used, feature limits reached and ad load failures. Google may process app/device information (device model, OS and app version, language, approximate region derived from IP) and app-instance identifiers.
• Crashlytics (everyone, including Pro): records crash stack traces, app/device state and a random app-instance identifier so defects can be fixed. Crash reports do not include document content or OCR text.
• Your choice: withdraw consent at any time under Settings → Legal → Ad Privacy Settings; analytics stops immediately and the app keeps working. Crash diagnostics remain enabled because they are necessary to keep the app working.

Firebase privacy information: firebase.google.com/support/privacy. Google retains Analytics and Crashlytics data according to its retention settings.

9. Changes

Material changes will update the Effective date above and be noted in Play release notes. Continued use after an update means acceptance.
