Overview
Smart Scanner AI helps you capture or import document images, align page boundaries, create compressed PDFs, run OCR, translate extracted text, summarize documents, and place a signature on a PDF.
The app does not create a Smart Scanner AI account. Most document files and scan metadata are kept in the app's private storage on your device unless you choose to share a generated PDF or run an AI feature that sends content to the Gemini API.
Information Stored on Your Device
The app stores the following information locally in app-private storage and the local database:
- Captured or imported document images.
- Generated PDF files and compressed PDF files.
- Document titles, timestamps, page counts, file paths, and file-size information.
- OCR text, translations, and summaries that you create in the app.
- Signature images used for optional PDF signing.
- Your Gemini API key, if you enter one, stored locally in Android SharedPreferences.
Camera, Photos, and Files
Smart Scanner AI can open the device camera to capture document pages and can import images you select through Android's document picker. The app uses Android FileProvider to create temporary camera capture files and to share generated PDFs only when you choose the share action.
The app does not upload your full document library to a Smart Scanner AI server.
Gemini AI Features
OCR, translation, and summary features require a Gemini API key that you provide. When you run these features, the app sends the relevant document image or extracted text to Google's Gemini API endpoint for processing.
Google may process those API requests according to its own terms and privacy documentation. Do not use AI features with documents that you do not want sent to Google's API.
Advertising
The app includes the Google Mobile Ads Next-Gen SDK. The current debug build uses Google's official test banner ad IDs. Production AdMob app IDs and ad unit IDs are not configured in this build.
If production advertising is enabled later, ad-related data may be processed by Google Mobile Ads, and this policy should be reviewed before release.
Firebase
The app uses Firebase Analytics to measure app usage and feature interactions, such as scan starts, image imports, rotation, filter selection, PDF saving, document opening, sharing, deletion, and optional AI actions. These events are designed to avoid document titles, OCR text, translated text, summaries, Gemini API keys, or full file contents.
The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports and diagnostic information, such as device and app state around a crash, stack traces, and non-fatal errors. This helps Gagasoft find stability issues and improve the app.
Deleting Data
You can delete documents inside the app. Deleting a document removes its saved page files and generated PDF files when those files are still present in app storage.
You can also delete app data by uninstalling Smart Scanner AI or clearing the app's storage from Android system settings.
Security
The app stores its local files in Android app-private storage. Your Gemini API key is stored locally on the device. No method of local storage or network transmission is perfectly secure, so avoid scanning or sending documents that require a higher security standard than this app provides.
Children
Smart Scanner AI is a productivity tool and is not directed to children. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Policy Changes
This policy may be updated when app features, SDKs, advertising behavior, Firebase integration, support channels, or data handling practices change. The updated date at the top of this page will reflect the latest revision.
