Privacy Policy for Smart PDF Scanner

Effective Date: 23-11-2025

Thank you for choosing Smart PDF Scanner ("we," "us," "our"). This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have about your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

By using our App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our service, we collect the following types of information:

a) Information You Provide Directly:

Images and Documents: The core function of our App is to scan documents. When you use the App, it accesses your device's camera to capture images of documents. These images, and the PDF files you create from them, are processed and stored directly on your device. We do not upload, store, or have access to your scans or documents on our servers.

b) Information Collected Automatically:

Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our App, such as the features you use and the time, frequency, and duration of your activities. This helps us understand what is working and how to improve the App.

Device and Advertising Information: We partner with third-party service providers, such as Google AdMob, to serve advertisements within the App. These partners may automatically collect certain information from your device, including:

• Device Identifiers: Such as your device's advertising ID (e.g., Google Advertising ID).
• Device Information: Such as your device's model, operating system version, and language settings.
• Network Information: Such as your IP address and mobile network information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the App: To enable you to scan, crop, filter, and export documents as PDF files.
• To Improve the App: To understand user needs, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• To Serve Advertisements: Our free version is supported by ads. We and our advertising partners use the automatically collected information to display relevant advertisements to you.
• To Offer and Manage In-App Purchases: To allow you to purchase premium features, such as an ad-free experience or removal of watermarks.

3. How We Share Your Information

Your privacy is important to us. We do not sell your personal information. We may share information under the following circumstances:

• With Third-Party Service Providers: We share information with service providers who perform services on our behalf. Our primary third-party partner is:
  • Google AdMob: We share device and advertising information with Google to provide personalized advertising. You can learn more about how Google collects and uses data by reviewing their privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

4. Data Storage and Security

All content you create with the App, including images of your scans and the resulting PDF files, is stored locally on your device. You have full control over this data. You can delete it at any time from within the App or by using your device's file manager.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected by the App, but no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

5. Your Rights and Choices

• Managing Your Scans: You have complete control over the files created with the App. You can access, share, and delete them from your device at any time.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting the settings on your device. For Android, you can typically do this under "Settings" > "Google" > "Ads."
• In-App Purchases: You can choose to upgrade to the premium version of the App to disable advertising.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
