Privacy Policy — Scanivo

This Privacy Policy explains how Scanivo (the "App", "we", "us", "our") handles information when you install or use our Android application available on Google Play (package name com.srtech.scanivo). By installing or using Scanivo, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information stored locally on your device (we do not see this)

• Documents and scans you create — photos, multi-page documents, PDFs, signature drawings, edited annotations, OCR-extracted text, tags, and folders. These are stored only in your device's app-private storage and never transmitted to us.
• App preferences — your dark/light theme choice, biometric-unlock toggle for the in-app Locker, and a locally-stored Locker PIN hash (the PIN itself is not transmitted off the device).

1.2 Information automatically collected by third parties

When the App displays advertisements, our advertising partner (Google AdMob) automatically receives the following from your device:

• Android Advertising ID (a resettable identifier you control in Settings → Privacy → Ads).
• Standard device and network signals — IP address, device model, operating system version, language, mobile country code, screen size, and approximate (city-level, IP-based) location.
• Ad interaction data — whether an ad was shown, viewed, or tapped.

This information is collected directly by Google under their privacy policy. We do not receive a copy. See the Google Ads Privacy Policy for details.

1.3 Information we do NOT collect

• We do not require an account, login, email, or phone number.
• We do not collect your name, contacts, calendar, SMS, call logs, precise GPS location, microphone audio, or health data.
• We do not transmit the contents of your scans, photos, OCR text, signatures, or PDFs off the device.
• We do not track which documents you create or how you use individual features.

2. How we use information

• To provide the App's features — scanning, editing, OCR, PDF generation, QR codes, biometric Locker, and so on. Everything you create stays on your device.
• To display advertising through Google AdMob so we can offer Scanivo for free. Ads are not personalized to your scan content and we do not pass any document data to ad networks.
• To improve stability — non-fatal errors and crash signals reported by the operating system / Google Play Services may be aggregated by Google. We do not attach personal identifiers to these.

3. Permissions we request

Scanivo only requests permissions that are required for the feature you are actively using. Each permission can be denied or revoked from your system Settings → Apps → Scanivo → Permissions, after which the related feature will simply be disabled until you grant it again.

4. Third-party services

Scanivo uses the following third-party SDKs. Each is governed by its provider's own privacy policy:

5. Subscriptions & in-app purchases

Scanivo offers optional paid plans to remove advertising and unlock premium features:

• Monthly Premium — auto-renewing monthly subscription.
• Yearly Premium — auto-renewing annual subscription.
• Lifetime Premium — a single one-time purchase that grants premium access for as long as you own the Google account.

All payments are processed by Google Play Billing. We never see your payment card details. We receive only a purchase token, the product ID, and your Google-account-level entitlement state — enough to know whether to enable premium features and hide advertising on your device.

Premium entitlement is restored automatically when you sign into the same Google account on a new device, after a reinstall, or after clearing app data. You can also tap Restore Purchases in Profile or the Premium screen to trigger the check manually.

Cancellation, refund, and subscription management are handled entirely by Google Play. The Manage Subscription button in the App opens the standard Google Play subscription page for your account.

6. Data sharing & disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information only when required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of users or the public.

Because Scanivo does not collect documents or personal account data, there is generally nothing for us to disclose in response to such requests.

7. Data retention

• Documents, PDFs, signatures, annotations, and OCR text remain on your device until you delete them in the App or uninstall the App. Uninstalling Scanivo removes everything stored in app-private storage.
• Text notes saved from the Text Scanner are written to Android/data/com.srtech.scanivo/files/text_notes/. Uninstalling the App removes this folder.
• Files you exported to public folders (e.g. Documents/Scanivo, Pictures/Scanivo, or Downloads/Scanivo) remain on your device until you delete them with a file manager — uninstalling the App will not remove these.
• AdMob data is retained by Google according to their policies.
• Subscription / Lifetime entitlement is retained by Google in your Google account until you cancel and the subscription expires (or, for Lifetime, indefinitely).

8. Security

Scanivo stores documents in app-private storage, which is sandboxed by Android so other apps cannot read them. The optional Locker further restricts access to selected files behind a PIN and biometric authentication.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We follow industry-standard practices, but you remain responsible for the security of your device (lock screen, OS updates, etc.).

9. Children's privacy

Scanivo is intended for general audiences. The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

The App displays Google AdMob ads. If your account is configured for child-directed treatment in Play Store, ad serving is automatically adjusted by Google.

10. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA / similar)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete the personal information held about you.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Opt out of personalized advertising — change your Advertising ID setting in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads ("Opt out of Ads Personalization" / "Delete advertising ID").
• Request a copy of any data we hold (in our case: none beyond what is on your device).
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because the App does not maintain accounts or upload your scans, requests to delete personal data can usually be satisfied by uninstalling the App or clearing it from Settings → Apps → Scanivo → Storage → Clear data.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated via the Google Play listing or an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the revised policy.
