ScanSharp ("we", "our", or "us") is a QR and OCR recognition application that enables users to scan QR codes and extract text from images using the device's camera or photo library, as well as generate and save QR codes to their photo album. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a transparent explanation of how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data.
1. Permissions Required
To perform its core functions, ScanSharp requires the following permissions:
- Camera Access – to scan QR codes in real-time.
- Photo Library Access – to allow users to choose images for OCR or QR scanning and to save generated QR code images.
All processing is conducted locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal images, scanned content, or QR code data to our servers.
2. Use of Third-Party Platforms
Although we do not collect or share content scanned by users, we do integrate with third-party platforms to help improve app performance and user experience:
- Firebase (by Google) – for crash reporting, analytics, and cloud messaging.
- Attribution Platforms (e.g., AppsFlyer) – to measure app install campaigns and performance.
- Analytics Providers – to understand aggregated user behavior for app improvement.
These platforms may collect non-personal, aggregated data, such as app usage statistics or device type. We do not sell or share your personal content (e.g., scan results, images) with any third party.
