ScanCamy Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 4, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how ScanCamy (“ScanCamy”, “we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the ScanCamy mobile application and the website at https://scancamy.com. ScanCamy is a document scanner that helps you capture, organize, and create documents. This policy describes what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at support@scancamy.com.
2. Information We Collect
The information involved in ScanCamy falls into two categories:
- Account & profile information — processed by our backend (Supabase) to provide sign-in and your account, as described in Section 3.
- Your documents and scans — stored locally on your device and not uploaded to our servers in the current version, as described in Section 4.
3. Account and Profile Information
To create and use a ScanCamy account, we process the following through our authentication and profile backend:
- Authentication: your email address, a password you choose (processed by Supabase Auth; ScanCamy does not store your plaintext password in the app), email-verification status, and session information used to keep you signed in. We also support password reset by email.
- Profile (optional fields you choose to provide): full name, contact phone number, and address details (street, city, state/region, postal code, country), an optional avatar reference, and timestamps. These fields are optional; you may leave them blank. Any phone number you enter is stored as profile information only and is not verified.
We do not collect payment-card numbers, government identifiers, or similar sensitive identifiers.
4. Documents and Local File Storage
Your scanned images, imported images and files, generated PDFs, signatures, and edited, cleaned, or restored images are stored locally on your device (in the app’s local database and storage). In the current version of ScanCamy, the contents of your documents are not uploaded to our servers and are not transmitted off your device unless you explicitly choose to share or export them using your device’s sharing or printing features (see Section 7).
5. Camera and File Access
- Camera: used only to capture documents when you take a scan. ScanCamy does not record in the background.
- Imported images/files: accessed only for the specific items you select through your device’s file/photo picker when you choose to import. ScanCamy does not scan or index your broader photo library or files.
- Internet access: used to sign in and sync your account and profile information with our backend. Document contents are not sent over the network in the current version.
6. How We Use Information
- To create your account and sign you in securely.
- To store and display your optional profile information.
- To provide and maintain the app’s features.
- To respond to your support requests.
- To protect the security and integrity of the service.
7. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. When you choose to share or export a document, your device’s native share sheet (or print dialog) lets you pick the destination app or service. ScanCamy has no direct integrations with messaging, email, or social services and does not control how the destination you select handles your content.
8. Third-Party Services
The current release relies on:
- Supabase — our backend provider for authentication and account/profile data storage.
- Google Play — the distribution platform for the Android app.
The current release does not include third-party advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs.
9. Data Retention
Account and profile information is retained for as long as your account exists. Documents and files you create remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Support emails are retained as needed to assist you.
10. Account and Data Deletion
- Sign out: ends your session on the device. Your local documents are preserved.
- Delete account (in the app, under Account): your ScanCamy account and associated account/profile records are deleted from our backend. This action cannot be undone. Your local documents on the device are preserved and are not removed by account deletion; you can remove them by deleting them in the app or by uninstalling.
- Uninstall: removing the app from your device removes the app’s locally stored data, including your local documents.
Because the current version does not store your documents in the cloud, account deletion does not involve deleting cloud-stored document content. For deletion help, contact support@scancamy.com or see Account deletion.
11. Data Security
- Account data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.
- Authentication credentials are processed by Supabase Auth. ScanCamy does not store your plaintext password in the app and does not expose backend service-role credentials to the mobile client.
- Account isolation is enforced by database row-level security, so your records are accessible only to your account.
- We do not store payment-card data.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using reasonable safeguards.
12. Children’s Privacy
ScanCamy is intended for adults (18 and over) and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
13. International Users
ScanCamy is offered globally. By using the app, you understand that your account and profile information may be processed by our backend provider in the regions where it operates, using appropriate safeguards.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves — for example, if we introduce optional cloud backup or paid features in the future. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. We will update this policy before releasing features that change how your data is handled.
