1. Introduction

Welcome to ScanHub - Web Scanner ("App", "we", "our", or "us"), developed by ScanHub. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our mobile application available on Android and iOS.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

3. App Features & Data Practices

QR Code Scanner & Generator

Camera data is processed entirely on-device. Scanned content and created QR codes are saved locally in a SQLite database. No QR data is sent to our servers.

Status Saver (Android Only)

This feature reads status media files from specific folders on your Android device's storage. Files are only copied to your gallery when you explicitly tap "Save". No status media is uploaded or transmitted externally.

Direct Chat

Lets you open a conversation with any number without saving it as a contact. The App makes a one-time request to ipinfo.io to detect your country. No message content is stored by us — the conversation happens entirely in the messaging app.

Web Scanner

Opens the web messaging interface inside an in-app browser. Your session, messages, and media are handled solely by the respective web service. We do not access or intercept any of this data.

Speech to Text

Uses the Web Speech API inside an in-app WebView. Voice is processed by your device's OS speech engine (Google on Android, Apple on iOS). The resulting text is returned to the App and shown on-screen. We do not record or store your voice.

AI Assistant (ChatGPT)

Opens OpenAI's ChatGPT website (chat.openai.com) inside an in-app browser. This is a browser wrapper — we do not integrate OpenAI's API directly and have no access to your conversations. All data is governed by OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

Schedule Message

Allows you to schedule a message for a future time. The phone number, message, and scheduled time are stored locally on your device and used only to trigger a local notification. At the scheduled time, a notification prompts you to open your messaging app — the App does not send the message automatically.

App Lock

Protects the App with a 4-digit PIN stored in your device's secure keychain (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). The PIN is never transmitted outside your device.

Document Scanner

Uses the camera to scan and digitize documents. Processed entirely on-device. No document images are uploaded or stored externally.

Games, News & Quiz

These features open third-party websites (GameZop, Newszop, Quizzop) inside an in-app browser. We do not collect any data from these sessions. Data practices are governed by the respective third-party sites.

4. How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used to:

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

5. Data Storage & Retention

All locally stored data is permanently deleted when you uninstall the App.

Analytics data retained by Firebase follows Google's standard retention periods (up to 14 months). You can request deletion by contacting us.

6. Third-Party Services & SDKs

6.1 Google AdMob (Advertising)

Displays banner, interstitial, app-open, and native ads. May collect advertising ID and usage data.

6.2 GameZop, Newszop & Quizzop (Web Content)

The App provides access to Games (GameZop), News (Newszop), and Quiz (Quizzop) features by opening their respective websites inside an in-app browser — similar to how ChatGPT is accessed. We do not integrate their SDKs directly. Any data collected while you use these services is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

6.3 Firebase Analytics (Google)

Collects anonymous usage events (screens viewed, features opened, QR counts). No personally identifiable information is included.

6.4 RevenueCat (In-App Purchases)

Manages the Remove Ads in-app purchase. Collects a pseudonymous app user ID and purchase receipt. All payment processing is handled by the App Store / Google Play.

6.5 OpenAI / ChatGPT (AI Assistant)

The AI Assistant feature opens chat.openai.com in an in-app browser. We do not use OpenAI's API — your interactions go directly to OpenAI's website and are governed entirely by OpenAI's policies.

6.6 ipinfo.io (Country Detection)

Used once when you open the Direct Chat feature to auto-detect your country from your IP address. Only your IP is sent; no other data.

6.7 Third-Party Messaging Services

Web Scanner and Direct Chat features interact with third-party messaging services. We do not access, read, or store your messages or contacts.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. Data may be shared only in the following situations:

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

Ad content is restricted to General Audience (G) rating with child-directed treatment disabled.

9. Your Rights & Choices

All Users

Opt Out of Personalized Ads

EEA / UK Users (GDPR)

California Residents (CCPA)

You have the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information. Contact us at the address below to exercise your rights.

10. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational security measures. The App Lock PIN is stored in the device's hardware-backed secure enclave. Most user data never leaves your device.

No electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but will notify users of any breaches as required by applicable law.

11. International Data Transfers

Data processed by third-party services (Google, RevenueCat, GameZop, OpenAI, ipinfo.io) may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ. We ensure all third-party partners we use maintain adequate data protection standards.

12. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
