Scan turns pages into PDFs. You scan or import a page, crop and straighten it, put the pages in order, and save a PDF. All of that happens on your phone.
There is no account, no sign-up, no cloud and no server of ours anywhere. Your documents are never uploaded, and there is nowhere for them to go.
The app itself holds no camera permission. Scanning is handed to Google Play services’ own document scanner, which runs in its own screen and returns the finished images to this app. So the permission list you see on Google Play has no camera, no photos and no storage in it — you can check that before you install.
The only data that leaves your device is what Google AdMob needs to show ads, and none of it is anything you scanned.
com.dashfusion.listscan)Everything is written to this app’s private storage, which no other app on your phone can read:
That is the whole list. There is no name, no email, no location and no contact anywhere in it, because the app never asks for any of them.
We hold no copy of any of it. There is no analytics SDK in this app, no crash reporter of our own, and no telemetry. Nothing you scan is read, uploaded, indexed or looked at by us or by anyone else.
The app opts out of Android’s cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so your scans are never copied into Google’s backup service. The honest cost: uninstalling the app, or losing the phone, loses them. Export the PDFs you want to keep.
Worth stating plainly, because apps in this category commonly do these things:
Exporting a PDF or an image goes through Android’s own document picker: you choose where the file goes, and the app is granted that one location and nothing else. Sharing uses the standard share sheet, so the file goes wherever you send it — once it leaves the app it is outside this policy, and where it ends up is your choice.
The app holds no storage permission.
The app is supported by ads served by Google AdMob. Ads are the only reason the app needs an internet connection at all; scanning, cropping, building the PDF and exporting it all work fully offline.
The app shows no banner ads, no native ads and no ads on launch. A full-screen ad can appear at one moment only: after a PDF has been written, once the file exists and the screen still shows that it succeeded. It never appears before a scan, between pages, or when something failed.
To serve ads, Google receives data from your device, which may include your
device’s advertising identifier (AD_ID), coarse location inferred from your IP
address, device and app information, and ad-interaction data. It does not
receive any page, any document, any file name or anything else from inside the
app. Google’s processing is done as an independent controller under its own
policies:
The document scanner screen is provided by Google Play services and delivered by it at runtime. While it is open you are in Google’s component, under Google’s own privacy policy above; it returns the captured pages to this app and this app stores them privately as described.
Where required by law, the app shows Google’s User Messaging Platform consent form before ads are initialised, and records your choice. In the EEA and the UK you are asked about personalised advertising; in covered US states you are offered the opt-out required there. You can change your decision at any time from Settings → Ad privacy options, and if you decline, every feature of the app continues to work exactly as before.
None. We operate no servers, no accounts and no analytics. We have no database with your name in it and no way to identify you or your device. We do not sell or share personal information, because we do not have any.
AD_ID) — required by Google Play for apps that serve
ads; used by AdMob as described above.That is all of them. The app requests no camera, no photo or media access, no storage permission, no location, no microphone, no contacts and no calendar.
A few more permissions are merged into the final app package by the libraries the app is built on, so the list Google Play shows you is longer than the two above. They are the Android Ad Services permissions plus wake-lock and foreground-service, all from the Google Mobile Ads SDK. None is a permission Android stops to ask you about, and none is used by any code we wrote.
This app is not directed at children under 13 and is not designed for use under the COPPA framework. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — as described above, we hold no personal data at all.
If we change this policy we will update the Last updated date above and publish the new version at this URL. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes on Google Play. This policy is versioned publicly in the Dash Fusion privacy repository, so any change is visible in its history.
