Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Paperforge:Scanning and Edit ("Paperforge" or "the app") handles information in its document scanning and PDF workflow. It also describes service data that may be processed if the third-party services below are enabled.
1. Your documents and images
Paperforge uses camera captures and files you choose to scan documents, adjust images, arrange pages, add signatures and watermarks, and create or process PDFs. These files can contain personal or sensitive information, depending on what you choose to scan.
The product's intended document workflow stores scans, imported images, saved signatures, folders, and processed PDFs on your device. It does not require a Paperforge account or provide an application-operated cloud synchronization service.
When you choose to export or share a file, the destination you select receives it. That destination may be a local folder, another app, or a storage provider. Its own policies and your chosen settings govern any subsequent processing.
2. Camera and file access
The camera is used when you choose document or ID scanning. Access to selected images or files is used for importing pages, adding image watermarks, and saving or sharing your work. You can manage permissions in your device's app settings; denying access may affect the relevant feature.
3. Third-party services
The app may use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics for Firebase may process app usage events, device or app identifiers, and related technical information to understand feature usage and improve the app.
- Firebase Crashlytics may process crash logs, stack traces, installation identifiers, and device or app information to investigate reliability problems.
- Google AdMob may process advertising identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, device information, and ad interactions for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalization where permitted.
Technical service requests may expose an IP address, device model, operating-system version, app version, and diagnostic information. See the Google Privacy Policy and Firebase privacy information for provider details.
4. Purposes and sharing
Document content is processed to carry out your requested document operations. Where enabled, service data is processed for the analytics, diagnostics, and advertising purposes described above. Information may also be processed to respond to support messages or comply with a legal obligation.
Your chosen export or share destination receives the selected file. Enabled service providers receive the service data needed for their configured functions. Requests from authorities are handled according to applicable law.
5. Retention and deletion
Local app data remains available until you delete it, clear app storage, or uninstall the app, subject to device backup and restore behavior. Files exported outside the app are separate copies: deleting a document in Paperforge or uninstalling it may not remove those copies. Delete them at their destination.
Third-party service data follows the provider's applicable rules and the retention settings configured for the released app. Contact us with requests concerning information we hold directly; applicable legal requirements may affect our response.
6. Security and PDF passwords
Access to documents depends partly on your device security and the destinations you choose. A PDF opening password protects that exported file's opening process; it does not automatically encrypt every app file or exported copy. Keep the password safe, as Paperforge has no account-based password recovery service.
No storage or transfer method can be guaranteed completely secure.
7. Choices and privacy requests
You can manage app permissions in Android settings and control where you export documents. Android versions and device manufacturers provide different advertising-ID and ad-privacy controls. Any consent options offered by the app should be available through its actual consent interface.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. Use the contact address below to make a request. Google and other recipients may provide their own request mechanisms for information they control.
8. International processing
If international service providers are enabled, service data may be processed outside your country under their applicable safeguards.
9. Updates and contact
We may revise this policy to reflect product changes and actual data practices. Material changes should be communicated as required by applicable law.
