Last updated: 18 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ScanX (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) handles information when you use ScanX to scan documents, recognize text, work with PDF files, or use available summarization features.
Please note: This policy must accurately reflect the app’s actual implementation and the behavior of any included SDKs. Before publishing, replace the contact placeholder below and verify whether any feature or SDK sends data off the device.
1. Information and documents you use
ScanX may process documents, images, scanned pages, extracted text, and PDF files that you choose to capture, import, create, edit, or summarize. These files may contain personal or sensitive information depending on what you choose to scan.
We do not ask you to submit document contents to us as part of this policy. However, the way document contents are processed depends on the feature you use and the underlying Android or third-party service. Review the relevant feature disclosures in the app before using a feature with sensitive documents.
2. Document scanning and text recognition
ScanX integrates Google ML Kit Document Scanner and text-recognition libraries. Document scanning and OCR may process images or text to provide scanning and recognition features. Processing may occur on your device or through a service provided by Google, depending on the specific API, model, and feature implementation. Please consult Google’s applicable privacy information and verify the behavior of the version used by the app.
3. PDF processing and local storage
ScanX uses PDF processing software and the Android Room persistence library. Files or app data may be stored on your device, depending on the feature and your actions. You control which documents you select or create. Be mindful when sharing, exporting, or saving documents to other apps or locations, which may be governed by those services’ own privacy practices.
4. AI summarization
ScanX includes an AI summarization library. If you use a summarization feature, text or other input may be processed by the relevant AI service or model. Whether processing happens on-device or involves transmission to Google or another provider depends on the implementation, device support, and service configuration. Do not use this feature with confidential or sensitive documents unless you are comfortable with the applicable processing. We will update this policy if the feature’s data handling changes.
5. Information collected automatically
The app’s platform, libraries, or service providers may process technical information needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, or improve their services. Whether ScanX itself collects analytics, diagnostics, device identifiers, or crash reports depends on the SDKs and configuration included in the released build. This policy should be updated to list any such collection before release.
6. How information is used
Information processed by ScanX and its integrated services may be used to provide document scanning, text recognition, PDF operations, summarization, saving and exporting features, and to maintain the reliability and security of those features.
7. Sharing and third-party services
ScanX may rely on third-party components or services, including Google-provided scanning, OCR, or AI functionality. Those providers may process information as needed to deliver their features under their own terms and privacy policies. ScanX does not sell your personal information. The app may also pass a file to another app or service when you explicitly choose to share or export it.
Relevant provider information: Google Privacy Policy and Google ML Kit documentation.
8. Data retention and deletion
Documents and other files saved on your device generally remain there until you delete them or remove the app, subject to Android storage behavior and any location you chose for export or backup. Files shared with other apps, saved to cloud storage, or handled by third-party services may be retained according to those services’ settings and policies. Verify these details against the app’s actual storage and deletion behavior before publication.
9. Security
We aim to handle information responsibly. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. Keep your device protected and avoid sharing sensitive documents unless you intend to do so.
10. Children’s privacy
ScanX is a general-purpose document utility and is not specifically designed to target children. If the app is intended for children or is configured to target children in Google Play, this section and the app’s data practices must be reviewed and updated to meet applicable legal and Google Play requirements.
11. Your choices
You choose the documents you scan or import and whether to save, export, or share them. You can manage app permissions through Android settings. You can stop using a feature if you do not agree with its processing practices.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app’s features, data practices, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date above will be revised when changes are made.
