Permissions

• Camera: to scan documents. Asked when you first open the scanner; you can still import photos without it.
• Internet: only to sign in and keep your account details.
• Photos and files are chosen with the system picker, so the App gets access only to the items you pick.
• Saving to Downloads needs no storage permission.

Sharing

When you tap Share, Android passes the PDF to the app you choose (for example WhatsApp or Gmail). The App gives that app temporary access to that one file only.

Your choices

• Change your name or usage in Settings → Account.
• Delete your account in Settings → Account → Delete account.
• Delete documents in the App at any time; uninstalling the App deletes all of them.
