CamScanner- scanner, PDF maker

"We collect certain information about the device you use to access Our Services, such as your IP address, mobile carrier, time zone settings, model of your device, the device system, network type, Android ID, identifiers for advertising(such as IDFA for iOS, GAID for Android device), your screen resolution and operating system."

CamScanner collects a wide range of device data including Android ID and advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID), which goes beyond what a document scanning app needs for core functionality.

"When you use our Services, we may infer the generic physical location and geographic regions of your device from your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other device settings. For example, your IP address may indicate your general geographic region. Upon your permission, we may collect your mobile device's location."

CamScanner infers location from WiFi, Bluetooth, and other device settings in addition to IP-based geolocation and optional precise GPS — none of which is necessary for a document scanning app.

"We share your information with software development kit(SDK) providers to operate, develop, and improve the features and functionality of Our Services. For example: Firebase(analytics and reporting services provided by Google)to assist us in analyzing how Our Services are used. We share Non-Identifying Information(including the advertising identifier currently associated with your device) and other aggregated information that does not include personal information with advertisement providers."

CamScanner shares data with SDK providers like Firebase and shares advertising identifiers with ad providers, enabling third-party tracking and targeted advertising.

"We may link your subscription information with the data information we receive from our partners or other third parties (such as Firebase provided by Google) to help smoothly facilitate Our Services for you, to better understand your needs and to provide you with better Services experience."

CamScanner links user subscription data with information received from third-party partners, and collects advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID) that enable cross-service tracking and profiling.

"We retain your data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Once the retention period expires, we will delete or anonymize your data, unless otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations."

CamScanner provides no specific retention period or timeline for data deletion, using only the vague standard of 'no longer than is necessary' with a broad legal exception.

"We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Under certain circumstances (for example with certain material changes or where it is required by applicable privacy laws) we will provide notice to you of these changes and, where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent. Sometimes, we'll let you know by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy that's available in CamScanner."

CamScanner reserves the right to change the privacy policy at any time, with notice only provided 'under certain circumstances' and sometimes limited to just updating the date at the top of the policy.

"If for some reason you ever want to delete your account, you can contact us. You may request that we delete the data we hold about you where:(i) you believe that it is no longer necessary for us to hold your data;(ii) we obtained your consent to process the data and you withdraw that consent (and we have no other valid legal grounds for processing the data);(iii) you believe we are unlawfully processing your data; or(iv) you are or were under the age of 16."

Account deletion requires contacting CamScanner rather than offering a self-service option, and deletion is conditional on meeting specific criteria rather than being available on demand.
