Privacy Policy

1. Summary

This Privacy Policy explains how ScanlyGo ("ScanlyGo," "we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use our iOS application (the "App").

ScanlyGo is designed to process your documents primarily on your device. When you scan, import, convert, merge, split, compress, protect, unlock, view, or share PDF files, your documents are processed locally on your iPhone or iPad unless you explicitly choose to export or share them.

We do, however, use Firebase Analytics to collect limited app usage and device-related information to help us understand how the App is used, improve performance, and monitor product decisions. If you purchase premium features, Apple processes your payment and we receive limited purchase status information needed to unlock and restore access.

2. Information We Process Locally On Your Device

The App may process the following content locally on your device:

• scanned document images
• photos you choose to import
• PDF files you import, create, edit, merge, split, compress, protect, or unlock
• document metadata needed for the App to organize your files within the App

This content is stored locally in the App’s sandboxed storage on your device unless you choose to export, share, or otherwise move it outside the App.

We do not upload your documents to our own servers for processing.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

We use Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google, to collect limited analytics information about how the App is used.

This information may include:

• app-instance or installation-level identifiers used by the analytics service
• device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, app version, and preferred language
• usage information, such as screens viewed, features used, buttons tapped, session duration, first opens, app updates, and general interaction events
• approximate geographic information such as country or region derived from IP-based signals
• premium and purchase-related app events, such as paywall opens, restore attempts, and purchase state events
• diagnostic or error-related event information that we log through analytics

We do not intentionally use Firebase Analytics to directly identify you by name, email address, or the contents of your documents. However, analytics data may still be considered personal data under some laws.

4. Camera, Photo Library, and Files Access

The App may request permission to access:

• your camera, so you can scan documents
• your photo library, so you can select images for PDF creation or editing
• files you choose through the iOS file picker, so you can import PDFs and images

We only access this content when you choose to use these features.

5. Purchases and Subscriptions

If you buy premium features or subscriptions, Apple processes the payment transaction. We do not receive your payment card details.

We may receive limited information necessary to provide premium access, such as:

• whether a purchase or subscription is active
• product identifiers
• transaction or restore status

This information is used only to unlock, restore, and manage premium features in the App.

6. How We Use Information

We use information described in this Privacy Policy to:

• provide the App’s core PDF and document features
• save and manage files locally on your device
• measure app usage and feature adoption
• improve app performance, usability, and reliability
• understand purchase flows and restore behavior
• respond to support requests you send us

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your document contents for advertising.

We do not use analytics data to track you across third-party apps or websites for targeted advertising.

7. Sharing of Information

We share information only in the following limited situations:

• with service providers that help us operate the App, such as Google Firebase for analytics
• with Apple for in-app purchase and subscription processing
• when you explicitly choose to export or share a document
• when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security

8. Third-Party Services

The App currently uses the following third-party services:

9. Data Retention

Documents and PDFs you create or import are retained on your device until you delete them, uninstall the App, or remove them from your device.

Analytics data is retained according to our Firebase / Google Analytics configuration and business needs. Retention periods may vary based on the settings applied to our analytics property.

If you contact us by email, we may retain your message and contact details for as long as needed to respond and handle follow-up support.

10. International Transfers

Our service providers, including Google, may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information we handle. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal data, including the right to request access, deletion, correction, restriction, or objection to certain processing.

Because most document processing happens locally on your device, many data controls are available directly to you in the App or on your device, including:

• deleting documents from the App
• removing photos or files from your device
• uninstalling the App

If you want to make a privacy-related request concerning analytics data or support communications, contact us using the details below.

At this time, the App may not provide a separate in-app control to disable Firebase Analytics. If that changes, we will update this Privacy Policy.

13. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will review the request.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above and post the updated version within the App or through another appropriate method.
