OCRScanner Privacy Policy

Effective November 7, 2026

Who we are

OCRScanner ("the app") is published by the developer shown on its Google Play and App Store pages ("we"). For any privacy question, email maximumunlimiteds@gmail.com.

Your scans stay on your device

• Camera. The app uses the camera only while you are on the scan screen, to photograph pages you choose to scan.
• Photos. Importing uses the system photo picker, so the app only sees the photos you pick. It never asks for access to your whole photo library.
• Text recognition runs on your device (Google ML Kit on Android, Apple Vision on iOS). Your images and the recognized text are not uploaded.
• Storage. Page images, recognized text, titles, tags and settings are saved in the app's private storage on your device. We have no copy.
• Backups. On Android the app opts out of system backup. On iPhone and iPad, app data can be included in your iCloud or computer backup if you have turned those on, like other apps' data.
• Sharing. PDFs, text files and images leave the app only when you tap Share, and only to the app or person you pick.
• App lock uses your device's fingerprint, face or screen-lock check. The app is only told whether the check passed and never sees biometric data.
• Diagnostic log. The app keeps a short local log of events (no document text, titles or images). It leaves your device only if you choose Settings → Export diagnostic log and share it.

Data collected by Google services in the app

We don't operate any servers or analytics. The app includes these Google components, which send some data to Google:

Google AdMob (free version only)

To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share with Google:

• your IP address, which can be used to estimate your general location;
• device and account identifiers, such as the advertising ID and app set ID;
• interactions with the app and with ads (for example app launches and ad taps);
• diagnostic information (for example app launch time and performance).

Data is sent encrypted. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and some US states), the app asks for your choice before ads load, and you can change it any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. On iPhone, the app asks for permission before the advertising identifier (IDFA) can be used. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. Learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

With Premium, the ad SDK is never started, so none of this ad data is collected.

Google ML Kit (Android)

Text recognition itself runs on your device. ML Kit sends Google basic usage and performance metrics (device model and OS version, app name and version, a per-installation identifier that does not identify you, processing time and error codes) for diagnostics. It does not send your images or recognized text. See ML Kit's terms.

Purchases

Premium is bought through Google Play or the App Store. They process the payment; we never see your payment details. The app only stores, on your device, whether Premium is unlocked.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your scans stay on your device until you delete them, use Settings → Delete all data, or uninstall the app. Because we don't hold your data, we can't access, export or delete it for you. For ad data held by Google, use your device's ad settings and Google's My Ad Center.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state laws), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the use of personal data. Contact us at the address above and we will help, including by pointing you to Google for data held by its services.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top.
