Effective date: April 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Scanqy ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use the App. We are committed to transparency about what data is collected, by whom, and why.
Summary: Scanqy does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Your scanned documents, ID cards, and extracted text never leave your device. There are no third-party analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind.
The following stay entirely on your device and are never transmitted to us or any third party:
Scanqy has no user accounts, no login system, and no cloud sync. All OCR processing runs on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
Scanqy does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. The App communicates with Apple services to load App Store purchase options, process purchases, restore purchases, check subscription entitlements, and perform an anonymous lookup against Apple's iTunes Search API (itunes.apple.com) to check whether a newer version of Scanqy is available on the App Store. The version-check request contains only the App's bundle identifier and your device's standard User-Agent — no user-identifiable information.
The App requests camera access to scan documents and ID cards. Images captured in the App are stored only in the App's sandboxed local storage. They are never uploaded to our servers or shared with any third party.
All scanned documents, ID cards, extracted text, and app preferences are stored locally on your device in the App's sandboxed storage. ID card images are stored with full iOS data protection (.complete) so they are encrypted while your device is locked.
Scanqy Pro offers the ability to lock documents and ID cards using Face ID or Touch ID. Biometric matching is performed entirely by iOS via the LocalAuthentication framework. Scanqy never accesses, stores, or transmits your biometric information.
Scanqy Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit. Apple handles all payment information; Scanqy never sees your payment method, billing address, or Apple ID. Subscription status is checked locally via Apple's Transaction API. Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID settings.
Local data is retained until you delete it or uninstall the App. There is no off-device retention because no personal data is ever transmitted off the device.
Scanqy is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the App, contact us and we will work with you to address the issue.
If you are located in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data. Because Scanqy stores personal data only on your device and does not maintain servers or share data with third parties, you can exercise these rights directly by managing or deleting content within the App.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in an updated effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
