Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-09-23
This Privacy Policy explains how PocketScan Pro, provided by @Shen YuTao, handles information related to your use of the app and website.
1. Information we process
PocketScan Pro processes photos and information you choose to use in the app, including document photos, ID photos, crop corners, corner radius settings, paper size, layout position, and export options. This information is used to scan, correct, lay out, save history, and export documents on your device.
If you use camera capture, save-to-Photos, or iCloud sync, iOS may request camera, photo library, or iCloud permissions. These permissions are managed by iOS and can be changed in the Settings app.
2. Local processing and sync
Document detection, corner editing, and layout are designed to run primarily on your device. History may be stored locally. If you enable iCloud sync, compressed image data, history data, and layout information may sync through your private iCloud database across your devices.
3. Purchases and subscriptions
Purchases, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Apple. The app may read subscription or lifetime purchase status to unlock Pro benefits. Free version save and export usage is recorded in the device Keychain so the app can determine the free allowance on that device. We do not receive your full payment card number or Apple ID password.
4. Advertising and the ad SDK
In the free version, once your free exports run out, you can either upgrade to Pro or choose to watch a rewarded ad to earn one extra export. Rewarded ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Pro users do not see ads.
To serve and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process device identifiers (such as the advertising identifier, IDFA, or other device- or app-level identifiers), advertising data (such as ad impressions, clicks, and video views), approximate location estimated from IP address, and advertising-related diagnostics and performance data (such as crash logs or app launch time). The photos and scanned content you process in the app are not provided to the ad SDK.
On iOS, the app asks for your permission through App Tracking Transparency before it requests ads. You can change this choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. If you do not allow tracking, ads may still be shown, but they will be less personalized and their association with your device identifier is limited.
Google’s handling of this information is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. See the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
5. What we do not do
- We do not sell your document photos or scanned content.
- We do not use your scanned content for advertising profiles, and we do not provide your scanned images or document photos to the ad SDK.
- We do not publicly disclose your scan history without explanation and consent.
6. Retention and deletion
You can delete history records in the app. Local data is removed after deletion. If iCloud sync is enabled, synchronized deletion may take time to complete depending on iCloud status and Apple service processing.
7. Third-party services
PocketScan Pro may use Apple services such as StoreKit, iCloud, Camera, Photos, and sharing features. Those services are governed by Apple terms and privacy policies.
PocketScan Pro uses Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to serve rewarded ads. That processing is governed by the Google Privacy Policy; see section 4 for details.
8. Children’s privacy
PocketScan Pro is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us to request deletion.
