Privacy Policy

Last updated: July, 2026

Scanaro does not collect, upload, or share any of your data. Everything you scan stays on your device. The app has no servers, no backend, and requests no internet permission at all, which you can verify yourself in your phone's app settings.

Introduction

Scanaro is a fully offline document scanner for Android. It lets you capture documents with your camera, recognise text using on-device OCR, and save everything as searchable PDFs, entirely on your phone, with no internet connection required. Our core promise: everything you scan stays on your device. We do not collect it, we do not see it, and we have no way to access it, because it never leaves your phone.

Information we collect

We collect nothing. Scanaro does not collect, store on any server, transmit, or share any personal information, usage data, analytics, crash reports, or any other data of any kind. The app has no servers, no backend, and makes no network requests whatsoever.

Camera permission

Scanaro requests access to your device camera for one purpose only: to let you photograph documents you choose to scan. The camera is activated only when you explicitly initiate a scan, never in the background, never automatically. All image processing, edge detection, perspective correction, and text recognition happens entirely on your device. No image is ever uploaded, transmitted, or stored anywhere outside your phone.

Your documents and data

Scanned images, generated PDFs, and extracted text are stored only in the app's private storage on your device. You can view, export, or delete your documents at any time. Deleting a document permanently removes it from your device, and uninstalling Scanaro removes all app data including every document you have scanned.

No data sharing or third parties

We share nothing with anyone, because we have nothing to share. Scanaro contains no advertising SDKs, no analytics libraries, no crash-reporting tools, and no third-party data services of any kind. Your data is yours, entirely.

Network and internet

Scanaro works entirely offline and does not require an internet connection. The app does not declare the internet permission and makes no network requests. Your device's internet connection is never used by Scanaro.

Data security

Because your data never leaves your device, its security is as strong as your device's own security. Scanned documents live in app-private storage, which is not accessible to other apps on your device.

Children's privacy

Scanaro is not directed at children under the age of 13. Because we collect no data from anyone at all, we collect no data from children either.

Your rights

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete. You already have direct and complete control over all of your data through your device. If you are covered by GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations, those rights are inherently satisfied, no personal data is collected, processed, or stored by us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
