🔒 Short version (TL;DR)
This app is a local-only document scanner. It uses your camera and photo library exclusively to let you scan, organise, and export documents. No information ever leaves your device.

📷 Device Permissions
The app requests only the permissions it strictly needs:
| Permission | Why it is needed | Used for anything else? |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Capture photos of documents for scanning | No |
| Photo Library (iOS) | Import existing images to scan | No |
| External Storage (Android ≤ 9) | Read images imported by the user | No |
You can revoke any permission at any time in your device's Settings → Apps → MyDocScanner → Permissions. Revoking camera access disables scanning; the rest of the app continues to work with previously scanned documents.
💾 How Your Data Is Stored
All scanned images and generated PDFs are saved in the app's
private internal storage
(getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()). This folder
is:
- Not accessible to other apps without root access
- Automatically deleted if you uninstall MyDocScanner
- Never synced to any cloud service by this app

🔄 Changes to This Policy
If the privacy practices of this app ever change (for example, if a future version adds optional cloud backup), this policy will be updated and a new effective date posted at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Given the nature of this app — entirely local, no accounts, no internet — significant changes are unlikely.
