Privacy Policy

Data We Collect

SnapDoc does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers. The only data collection that occurs is through our third-party advertising partner, Google AdMob, as described below.

Specifically, we do not collect:

• Your scanned documents or their contents
• Your name, email address, or account information
• Your location
• Your contacts or calendar data
• Any biometric data from Face ID

Camera Access Local Only

We request access to your device camera solely to allow you to capture documents for scanning within the app.

• Camera images are processed entirely on your device
• No photos are uploaded, transmitted, or shared
• Camera access is only active when you are actively using the scan feature

Photo Library Access Local Only

We request access to your photo library so you can import existing images into the app for scanning and editing.

• Images are read locally from your device only
• No images from your library are uploaded or stored on any server
• We only access the specific photos you manually select

File Access Local Only

SnapDoc supports importing files (such as PDFs) directly from the Files app or other document providers on your device.

• File access is initiated only when you explicitly choose to import a file
• Imported files are processed and stored locally on your device only
• No file contents are sent to external servers

Face ID / Secure Lock On-Device

SnapDoc offers an optional Secure Lock feature powered by Face ID (or Touch ID/Passcode as a fallback). This is used to protect access to the app and your documents.

• Face ID authentication is handled entirely by iOS via the Local Authentication framework
• We never access, store, or transmit your biometric data
• Your Face ID data is stored in Apple's Secure Enclave on your device and is never accessible to us
• This feature is fully optional and can be disabled in the app's settings

Advertising — Google AdMob Third Party

SnapDoc displays ads provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect certain data to serve relevant advertisements. This is the only instance of data leaving your device.

AdMob may collect or use:

• Advertising identifier (IDFA) — only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission
• Approximate location (country/region level) for ad targeting
• Device type, OS version, and app interaction data
• IP address (used for general geographic targeting)

For full details on how Google handles data, please review Google's Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy

You can also opt out of personalized ads via: adssettings.google.com

EEA, UK & Switzerland — GDPR Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent local laws.

Legal Basis for Processing

The only data processing that occurs through this app involving third parties is advertising via Google AdMob. The legal basis for this processing is:

• Consent — personalized advertising only occurs if you explicitly consent via the Google Consent Management Platform (CMP) prompt shown on first launch in the EEA
• Legitimate Interests — non-personalized ads may be shown to support the free availability of the app, without requiring consent

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of any personal data held about you
• Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction — request that processing of your data be limited
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw Consent — withdraw advertising consent at any time via app Settings → Ad Preferences

Since SnapDoc itself does not collect personal data, most GDPR requests relate to data held by Google AdMob. For those, please use Google's data controls at myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.

For any other GDPR requests, contact us at codetosmh@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days as required by law.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA). A list of EEA DPAs can be found at edpb.europa.eu.

International Data Transfers

SnapDoc itself does not transfer your data internationally. However, Google AdMob may transfer advertising-related data to servers located outside the EEA, including the United States.

Google relies on the following safeguards for such transfers:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
• Google's participation in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework

Details are available in Google's Privacy Policy.

Local Data Storage Local Only

All documents, annotations, and settings you create in SnapDoc are stored using Core Data on your device only.

• Data is stored in your app's sandboxed local storage
• No data is synced to iCloud unless you separately enable iCloud Drive for this app in iOS Settings
• Deleting the app removes all locally stored data permanently

Children's Privacy

SnapDoc is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our app, please contact us and we will address it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
