InkScan Privacy Policy
Effective date: 22 October 2026
Publisher: TechPilot Solution
Privacy and support contact: techpilot.solution@gmail.com
This policy describes the Android app InkScan: PDF Scanner & OCR, package com.inkscan.inkscan, published by the entity identified above.
Documents and information on your device
InkScan uses camera access to capture document pages. It processes images and recognizes text on your device. Saved images, recognized text, detected document details, checklist client names and reference numbers, and document activity records are stored in local app storage.
This version has no InkScan account, login, subscription, or cloud document-upload service. The app does not upload your scan images or recognized text to a publisher-operated server, and does not pass document contents to advertising requests.
Android's scanner components may need to be downloaded through Google Play services before first use. This setup connection is separate from local document processing. Google's scanner documentation explains this download.
Advertising and SDK information
InkScan displays banner ads using Google Mobile Ads. It does not display rewarded or interstitial ads. Google's SDK can process IP-derived approximate location, advertising or other identifiers, interactions, and diagnostic information for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. See Google Mobile Ads data disclosures and Google's privacy policy.
The Google ML Kit components used for scanning and text recognition can send technical device/app information, installation identifiers, feature events, and performance/error metrics for diagnostics and usage analytics. These disclosures concern SDK telemetry, rather than a publisher document-upload feature. See ML Kit's data disclosure.
Google documents encrypted network transport for these SDK data flows. Their retention and controls are governed by Google's applicable policies. InkScan's local-data deletion action does not erase information already retained by Google.
Your choices
Where required by the advertising consent service, InkScan presents consent choices and a Settings entry called Ad privacy options. You can revisit that entry when available. Android also provides advertising-ID controls. These choices do not create an InkScan account. The app's document features remain accessible when a banner cannot load.
You can refuse or revoke camera access through Android settings; capturing new pages requires camera access. Reading existing local documents does not require an InkScan login.
Sharing, printing, and copying
When you choose Share, Export, Print, or Copy, InkScan hands the selected file or text to the system interface, clipboard, or destination you select. A chosen email, messaging, storage, or print service may receive that content under its own policies. InkScan cannot retract copies you send to other people or apps.
Storage and protection
The app uses local files and a local database. It does not provide an additional encrypted vault or a biometric app lock. Exported PDFs are image-based and not password-protected. A masked identifier in an extracted-details view does not redact the original image or raw recognized text. Use your device's security features and check document contents before sharing.
Android backup and device-transfer exclusions are configured for app data in this version. This does not control copies that you export or share yourself.
Retention and deletion
Local scans and associated records remain until you remove them or clear the app's local data. Moving a document to Trash hides it from the library; the app attempts permanent cleanup after it has been in Trash for more than 30 days, when the app next runs. This is not immediate deletion.
For immediate removal of app-managed local data, use Settings → Delete All Local Data and confirm. The action deletes database records and attempts to remove app-created scan and export files. If a file cannot be removed, the app reports incomplete deletion so you can retry. Uninstalling or clearing Android app storage also removes app-private data. Copies already shared, printed, saved outside app storage, or held by third parties are outside this local wipe.
Contacting the publisher
If you contact techpilot.solution@gmail.com, the publisher receives the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message, to respond to your request. Please avoid sending identity documents or other sensitive scans. You can request deletion of support correspondence by emailing the same address. This request concerns messages sent to support; local documents can be deleted using the app controls described above.
Changes and questions
The publisher may update this policy as the app or its data practices change. The effective date above will identify the current policy. Contact techpilot.solution@gmail.com with privacy questions.
