Effective date: May 3, 2026

1. Information We Collect
PrivateScan PDF Scanner is designed to scan paper documents, create PDF files, and recognize text locally on your device. Gobling Company does not collect scanned documents, PDF files, recognized OCR text, imported images, usage history, analytics data, advertising identifiers, or account information from this app.
PDF files, OCR text, local usage counters, and purchase entitlement state are stored or processed inside the app's local container on your iPhone or iPad.
The app does not require a Gobling Company account and does not operate a backend server for document processing or text recognition.
2. How Information Is Used
Documents and recognized text are used only inside the app to provide scanning, PDF creation, local OCR, editing, search, copy, sharing, export, and deletion features.
Free usage limits, such as daily scan count and saved document count, are tracked locally on your device.
PrivateScan PDF Scanner uses StoreKit for Pro subscription and purchase entitlement checks. Apple may process purchase-related information under Apple's own policies.
3. Local Storage
Scanned PDFs and recognized OCR text are stored locally on the device unless you choose to share or export them using iOS system sharing features.
You can delete individual documents in the app. You can also delete all local app data from Settings.
If you delete the app from your device, iOS removes the app's local container and the locally stored files associated with the app.
4. Sharing And Export
When you tap copy, share, or export, the selected PDF or text is handed to iOS system features or to the destination app that you choose.
Gobling Company does not control third-party apps or services that you choose from the iOS share sheet.
You should review the privacy practices of any destination service before sharing sensitive documents or OCR text.
5. Third-Party Services
PrivateScan PDF Scanner uses Apple's system frameworks for camera scanning, image import, PDF creation, local text recognition, sharing, local storage, and purchases.
The app does not include advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, tracking SDKs, or cross-app tracking behavior.
The app does not upload documents or OCR text to a Gobling Company server.
6. App Tracking Transparency
PrivateScan PDF Scanner does not track users across apps or websites owned by other companies.
Because the app does not perform tracking, it does not request App Tracking Transparency permission.
7. Children's Privacy
PrivateScan PDF Scanner is a productivity utility and is not directed to children.
Gobling Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children through PrivateScan PDF Scanner.

9. Changes To This Policy
This privacy policy may be updated if the app's features, data practices, or legal requirements change.
If a future version adds accounts, analytics, cloud sync, server OCR, support forms, crash reporting, or other data collection, this policy and the App Store privacy answers will be updated before release.
