- Device Storage: We request permission to access local device storage strictly to allow you to select, open, and process document files or save audit reports generated within the app.
- No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store on external servers, or transmit personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or contact list.
- Third-Party Services
Our application utilizes trusted third-party software development kits (SDKs) to provide core features:
- Google ML Kit: Used for local optical character recognition (OCR) and text recognition. Processing occurs locally on your device. For more details, refer to Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Data Security
Because document scanning and processing are conducted locally on your device, your data remains in your control. We do not transmit your documents or extraction logs to external cloud databases. - Children’s Privacy
Our application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. - Changes to This Privacy Policy
