Privacy Policy

The short version

Scanfone works without an account. Your scans, PDFs and the text read from them stay on your phone. We show no ads and use no tracking or analytics. Nothing leaves your phone unless you send it yourself, or you use Scanfone Pro sync.

Free version

• Scanning, text recognition (OCR) and PDF creation happen on your phone. On iPhone this uses Apple's on-device frameworks. On Android it uses Google's on-device ML Kit, and the document scanner is provided by Google Play services.
• We do not receive your documents, your photos or any information about you.
• The camera is used only to scan. Photos you import are only the ones you pick.

Scanfone Pro sync and backup

• When you buy Pro, your phone sends the signed purchase receipt from the App Store to our server, so we can confirm Pro. We store an account number made from that receipt, the expiry date, and how much cloud space you use. We do not get your name, email or Apple ID.
• With sync on, your documents (page images, PDFs, document names, folder names and the recognised text) are stored on our servers at Hetzner Online in the European Union, so they can reach your other phones.
• Other phones join with a one-time code that expires after 10 minutes.
• Your files are used only to sync and back them up for you. We never sell, share or analyse them.
• When you delete a document, it is deleted from the server too. "Unlink this phone" stops syncing on that phone.

Payments

Payments are handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never see your card details.

Under UK and EU data protection law, you can ask for a copy of your data, or ask us to delete it. Write to us at the address below. Include the code shown in Scanfone (Settings, Link another phone) so we can find your cloud data without knowing who you are.
