Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2025

Introduction

LilScan ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our document scanning application.

LilScan is designed with privacy first principles - all document processing happens locally on your device, and we do not collect or store your personal documents or data.

Information We Collect

Information We DO NOT Collect

  • Documents you scan or images you capture
  • Text content extracted from your documents
  • PDF files generated by the app
  • Personal information or contacts
  • Location data
  • Account information (no accounts required)

Technical Information

We may collect limited technical information for app functionality and improvement:

  • Device model and Android version (for compatibility)
  • App version and crash reports (for debugging)
  • Performance metrics (processing time, memory usage)

How We Use Information

The limited technical information we collect is used solely to:

  • Improve app performance and stability
  • Fix bugs and technical issues
  • Ensure compatibility across Android devices
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience

Data Storage and Security

Local Processing: All document scanning, text recognition (OCR), and PDF generation happens entirely on your device. Your documents never leave your phone.

No Cloud Storage: We do not upload, store, or process your documents on our servers or any cloud service.

Device Storage: Scanned documents and PDFs are stored locally on your device in the Downloads folder or a location you specify.

Permissions

LilScan requires the following permissions to function:

  • Camera: To capture document images
  • Storage: To save scanned PDFs to your device
  • Network (optional): Only for app updates and crash reporting

These permissions are used solely for the app's core functionality and are never used to collect personal information.

Third-Party Services

LilScan uses the following third-party services:

  • Google ML Kit: For text recognition (OCR). Processing happens locally on your device.
  • Android System APIs: For camera access and file storage.

These services operate locally on your device and do not transmit your document data to external servers.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Since we don't collect your documents or personal data, there is nothing to share.

Anonymous technical data may be shared with crash reporting services to improve app stability.

Your Rights

Since all your documents are processed and stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your scanned documents are accessible in your device's Downloads folder
  • Delete: You can delete any scanned documents directly from your device
  • Export: You can share or export your documents at any time
  • Uninstall: Uninstalling the app removes all associated data

Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data from users of any age, this includes children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
