We care deeply about your privacy. This policy explains clearly and transparently how Cam Scanner handles your data.
Welcome to Cam Scanner ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy describes how Cam Scanner (the "App") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal information when you use our Android mobile application.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the App.
We use the information we collect to:
Cam Scanner is designed with a privacy-first, local-first architecture. All document processing — including scanning, OCR text recognition (powered by Google ML Kit), PDF creation, and signature drawing — happens entirely on your device.
Your documents are stored in your device's local storage using Android's Room database and the standard file system. They are never transmitted to Cam Scanner's servers.
Files shared from the App use Android's FileProvider mechanism, which grants temporary, limited access to specific files only when you explicitly choose to share them.
Cam Scanner requests access to your device's camera solely for the purpose of capturing document images. The App does not record video, stream camera feeds to any server, or access your camera in the background.
Camera access is declared as optional hardware — the App can still be installed on devices without a camera, though scanning functionality will be unavailable.
The App integrates the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
Premium features are available through a subscription managed via Google Play Billing. We do not process payment card information directly — all payment transactions are handled securely by Google.
Subscription status is verified through Google Play's Billing API. We do not receive your full payment details; only a subscription entitlement status is communicated to the App.
Since all your personal data (documents, signatures, invoices, preferences) is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over it at all times.
You can delete your data at any time by:
If you contact our support team, any correspondence we hold will be retained for up to 2 years for record-keeping purposes and then deleted.
Cam Scanner is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at the email address below and we will take steps to delete such information.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process. This includes:
No method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address provided below. Because most data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly through the App or your device settings.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us:
