QuickScan - Privacy policy & Terms of Use

Definitions

Personal Information is data which relate to a specific identifiable person.
Nonpersonal Information is data which does not relate to a specific person.

QuickScan app & Privacy

QuickScan respects your privacy: no personal data is collected in QuickScan app.

  • The scan process happens on your device and the scanned content stays on your device, until - obviously - the user decides to share it (for example: by saving the document to a cloud drive or by sending it by E-mail).
  • OCR (text recognition) happens on your device, no server is used
  • QuickScan is GDPR compliant
  • Your documents and signatures are safe within QuickScan
  • QuickScan does not shows ads, and is very privacy-focused

Cloud upload (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive,...)

Should the user configure access to a Cloud file provider for automatic upload, then QuickScan would require access in order to be able:

  • to present the list of folders for the user to choose the destination path for automatic upload
  • to write the files in the selected folder
Nothing else is used and no data is collected. QuickScan only stores, on the user's device, the path to the selected folder, in order to provide the 'Export Favorite' (bookmark) functionality.

Google Drive specifics

QuickScan complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy: QuickScan only uses what is stricly necessary to provide the Export Favorite feature. In other words, access to Google Drive is necessary should the user need to configure his Google Drive as Export Favorite (bookmark) in QuickScan. The use of data is stricly limited to providing this feature.

  • Drive Read access: only used upon user demand, for the user to browse through the folders and to pick one as favorite save location (= bookmark)
  • Drive Write access: for the app to save (upload) files (typiclly scanned documents) to the user-configured favorite save location (= bookmark)
  • User data: Nothing is used/stored by the app, strictly respecting user's privacy
The only thing the app will store, is the path to the save location (= bookmark) within the user Google Drive. Otherwise, absolutely no data is stored nor collected.

Google Drive: data protection mechanisms

Upon user's demand, the hierarchy (folders only) of his Google Drive is presented to the user to allow him to select a folder as favorite (= bookmark). Once the folder (bookmark) has been chosen by the user, all data (the hierarchy, i.e. the folders list) is immediately erased from the user's device memory. The only data (which is non-sensitive) that is persisted (encrypted on the user's device), is the path to the selected folder. Example of such path: 'Google Drive/My Admin/My Scans/'

Google Drive: data sharing disclosure

Since QuickScan does not use any server (everything works on device) to provide its functionalities, QuickScan does NOT transfer or disclose any user's information to third parties.
