QuickScan is a 100% on-device document scanning app: PikScan does not receive scan content and does not require an account. This policy explains data processed on the device and how ads work.
1. Controller
PikScan (publisher of QuickScan). Contact: support@pikscan.com. Website: quickscan.pikscan.com.
2. No account, no PikScan cloud
- QuickScan does not create a PikScan user account.
- Your scans, images, PDFs and OCR text are stored on your phone (app local storage).
- PikScan does not receive the content of your documents and does not run a sync cloud for QuickScan.
3. Data processed on device
On your device only, the app may store:
- scanned or imported images and files;
- metadata you enter (title, category, notes, dates);
- text from on-device OCR;
- preferences (language, biometric lock if enabled).
OCR uses on-device engines (including Google ML Kit). Image processing for text recognition runs locally.
4. Permissions
- Camera: to scan documents.
- Storage / files: to import or export files as allowed by the OS.
- Biometrics (optional): if you enable the app lock.
- Internet: for AdMob ads and optional app version checks.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob) and Premium
QuickScan is free and funded by ads via Google AdMob (banners, interstitials, occasional rewarded video, e.g. after 3 free offline scans, then every 3 OCR or compressed PDF exports).
Optional Premium (one-time purchase via the App Store or Google Play) removes ads. PikScan does not receive your document contents as part of that purchase.
For users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, QuickScan uses the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP), an IAB TCF-certified consent management platform (CMP). The UMP form is shown before personalized ads. You can change or withdraw that consent in the app (Settings / About → Ad consent) and in Android or iOS settings (privacy / ads / tracking).
Google may process advertising IDs and technical data under Google’s policies, only to the extent allowed by your TCF choice.
Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
6. App updates
The app may request a public version JSON on quickscan.pikscan.com to suggest updates. That request does not include your document contents.
7. Sharing you initiate
When you export or share a PDF, image or text, the file leaves the app through the system share sheet. That is under your control.
8. Retention and deletion
Local data remains until you delete it in-app or uninstall. Uninstalling QuickScan typically removes app data from the device.
9. Children
The app is not directed to children under 16 (or the applicable digital age of consent).
10. Your rights
Because PikScan does not hold your documents, access/erasure mainly concerns data on your device and ad processing by Google. Questions: support@pikscan.com.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The date above is authoritative. Continued use after posting means you acknowledge material changes described here.
