-
Authorization data. Your email address is
recorded if you already have an account or if you choose to create
a new account within the App (Sign Up for a new account). Having
an account within the App (“iScanner account”)
allows you to be registered within the App to use the full scope
of its functions, inter alia, to use the cloud storage
functionality, to store and manage documents associated with your
iScanner account, sync and access them anytime from any device.

You are also responsible for all activities that occur under your iScanner account. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any damages and/or losses that may occur as a result of someone else using your credentials to access your iScanner account (and/or data, files associated with your iScanner account) without your knowledge and express consent. You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your iScanner account credentials, any other breach of security relating to your iScanner account or if you suspect any unauthorized access and/or breach of security.
Please note that we DO NOT access, use, store, or share your Google user data. Authorization is performed via OAuth 2.0 which is a safe protocol implemented by Google to access Google API and obtain access tokens for users. Google API allows you to sign in to our App using your Google Account. If you have any inquiries regarding how your user data is used via Google API, you should address Google directly (please check Section IV for contact details). - Your email address may also be recorded and processed if you choose to directly provide it in the App’s Settings (“My Email” section) in order to use the “Email to Myself” functionality option.

stored and associated with your iScanner account. If you have an
active iScanner account and use cloud storage functionality you’ll
be able to store and manage scanned files and documents you
received using the App and/or other files you choose to upload
(hereinafter, ”user files”). All user files are stored using the
server of our cloud storage provider. User files associated with
your iScanner account will be synchronized on any device you might
use for accessing such iScanner account (regardless of how you

Information That Is Processed Automatically
On the basis of your permission we use third-party automatic data processing technologies (advertising or analytics tools) to analyze certain information sent by your device via our App (Identity For Advertisers for iOS devices/ Advertising ID or Android ID for Android devices). Some integrated advertising or analytics tools (check Section IV to see the list of them) launch automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which means any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning your personal preferences, interests, behavior, location or movements (see the list of data described below). Processing information through automatic data processing technologies starts automatically once you allow our App to track your activity. You can withdraw your permission at any time - please check opt-out options in Section VIII below.
We may process some information about your device and your user behaviour on the ground of our legitimate interests. This information falls within categories of data described above in Subsection “Information That Is Processed Automatically”, it is generally non-personal, i.e. it does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual, and we may access it only in aggregated form. We use this information for improving our App and giving our users the best experience.
-
Device Details. When you use a mobile device
(tablet / phone / smartwatch) to access our App, some details
about your device are reported, including “device identifiers”.
Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures
stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely
identify your mobile device (but not your personality). Device
identifier enables generalized reporting or personalized content
and ads by the third parties.
What data can be processed:
- Information about the device itself: type of your device, type of operating system and its version, model and manufacturer, screen size, screen density, orientation, audio volume and battery, device memory usage.
- Information about the internet connection: mobile carrier, network provider, network type, IP address, timestamp and duration of sessions, speed, browser.
- Location-related information: IP address, the country code/ region/ state/ city associated with your SIM card or your device, language setting, time zone, neighboring commercial points of interest (eg. “coffee shop”).
- Other device identifiers: e.g. user identifiers (if they are set up by the App's developer).
- Information about the applications. Name, API key (identifier for application), version, properties of our App can be reported for automated processing and analysis. Some services also record the list of applications and/or processes which are installed or run on your device.
- Cookies and similar technologies. When you use the App, cookies and similar technologies may be used (pixels, web beacons, scripts). A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your device when you access the App. The text file is then sent back to the server each time you use the App. This enables us to operate the App more effectively. For example, we will know how many users access specific areas or features within our App and which links or ads they clicked on. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our App is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to the App, which may use cookies or similar technologies.
- Log file information. Log file information is automatically reported each time you make a request to access the App. It can also be provided when the App is installed on your device. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record certain log file information, including time and date when you start and stop using the App, and how you interact with the App.
- Ad-related information. The following data might be reported about the ads you can view: the date and time a particular ad is served; a record if that ad was “clicked” or if it was shown as a “conversion” event; what the ad offer is about; what type of ad it is (e.g., text, image, or video); which ad placement is involved (where the ad offer is displayed within the App); whether you respond to the ad.
- In-app events. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record your activity information (taps, scrolls, screens you visited in the App, tutorial steps, leveling up, payments, in-app purchases, custom events, progression events, method of limiting the processing of user data).
- Subscription details: information about all your subscriptions in the App (subscription start date, its duration, payment receipts); information about the accounts that you create when you get registered (email, date of registration, etc.); login history (sorted by dates and devices) and the number of currently connected devices; information about outdated promo codes that you used for accessing the Pro version of the App.
Information provided automatically to advertising or analytics tools does not generally come to our control, therefore we cannot be responsible for processing such information. Please mind that some services are engaged in personal data profiling and may obtain information related to your personality and/or your device by using technologies that do not belong to our scope of responsibility. In case when your user ID is linked to your Facebook / Google / Apple account, Facebook / Google / Apple may use your device information in association with categorized data that were already recorded in its databases (eg. your age, gender or other demographic indication). We do not control, supervise or stand surety for how the third parties process your personal data, that might be collected by their own means (not through our App). Any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information should be directed to such third parties (see Section IV).
Payment Information
Our e-commerce provider (Apple / Google) is responsible for billing,
processing and charging for in-app purchases, handles your personal
information and keeps it absolutely safe and secure. This
information is processed as part of the performance of the contract
between you and us. We cannot access or use your credit or debit
card information.
You may access the applicable “in-app” purchase rules and policies
directly from the app stores.
Additionally, if you choose to purchase a subscription on
App’s Website the following
methods of payment may be available to you:
- Apple Pay;
- Payment by card. If you pay with a card, you’ll be required to
enter your email address, as well as your card information, country
or region. In this case, the payment transaction will be processed
via Stripe payment system. Hence, some categories of your personal
data (including transaction data) are collected, retained and
processed by Stripe payment service provider in accordance with its
privacy policy.
- PayPal. If you pay with your PayPal account you share your
information with the PayPal payment system, please see PayPal’s
privacy policy for more details. This information circulates between
you and PayPal and remains inaccessible to us.
Information That You Submit for Improving the Algorithms of the App
- Photos for improving machine learning (ML) algorithms. For the purpose of analyzing the scope of certain technical parameters we suggest you help us with the reference material so that the processing technologies of our App could be reformed, smartened and smoothed. Your collaboration is crucial for us when we aspire to enhance our methods and improve the services. In this regard you have an option to allow us to use your photos to improve our border detection algorithm, signature recognition or count mode. To grant us the relevant permission, set the “Improve Border Detection” and/or “Improve Signature Recognition” and/or “Improve Count Mode” switch in the App’s Settings to the “on” position. Once the relevant permission is granted, the protos that you send us for improving ML algorithms will be stored on the server maintained by our cloud storage provider. These photos are deleted after the purpose of processing (improving ML algorithms) is fulfilled. You can always enable or disable the collection and processing of your photos for improving ML algorithms in the App’s Settings.
- Documents for adjustment of content. You may choose to adjust the content of the scanned document with the help of additional text recognition function (“Correct” button). All documents that you send us for adjustment of content are stored on the server maintained by our cloud storage provider. These documents are deleted after the purpose of processing is fulfilled.
Email communications
When you Sign In or create an account within the App (Sign Up for a new account) we may use your email address that you provide us in “Enter email” section or information about your email address related to your Apple ID, Google account or Facebook to send you communications (newsletters) regarding special subscription offers, new features and functionalities and other news related to the App on the grounds of our legitimate interests. To receive newsletters about the App, you may also leave information about your email address in the App Settings (if available) or we may request your email address in a separate popup window within the App (if available). Sending you newsletters will allow you to stay up to date and receive the latest news about our App, including about the best price offers. You also hereby acknowledge and accept the treatment of some categories of your personal data (i. e. the information about your name that you provide us, date of registration within the App, subscription purchase date, geolocation data, activity information, etc.) for market analysis activities, particularly for the purpose of delivering you targeted communications (newsletters) that most align with your needs and interests. The information about your email address that we’ve received may be transferred to the email marketing tool for the purposes of optimization and automation of the email delivery process (please check Section IV to learn more about the tool’s privacy policies and practices). You may unsubscribe, opt-out of receiving communications to your email address at any time by using the resignation link provided in each email you receive from us. Your unsubscribe request shall be honored within a reasonable period of time. You will also have the opportunity to opt out of receiving our newsletters in advance when you Sign Up for a new account by choosing the relevant option on the Sign Up screen (“I don’t want to receive emails about iScanner updates and features” option).

Tracking, then tap to turn off or turn on permission to track for
a specific app.
You can also control whether apps can ask for permission to track your activity.

If you turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track", you won't get prompts from apps that want to track your activity.

Please find additional information here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212025 or in the Settings > Privacy > Tracking section on your device.
If you want to disable Apple’s ad targeting, go to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising, then set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position. Please find additional information here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074 - For Android devices: go to Settings > Privacy > Ads, then you can choose either to “Reset advertising ID” or to ”Delete advertising ID”. If you choose to “Reset advertising ID”, your current ID will be replaced with a new one. Apps can still show you personalized ads, but for a while they may not be as relevant or interesting to you. If you choose to ”Delete advertising ID”, your advertising ID will be deleted and a new one will not be assigned. You won't see ads based on this advertising ID. Apps can still show you ads, but they may not be as relevant or interesting to you. The relevant instructions for some older versions of Android and other additional information can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en-US (see subsection “Advertising identifiers for mobile apps”).

IX. SECURITY
The security of your personal information is highly important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimization, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing.
