Text Scanner is made by Solidary Solutions AB, Sweden. This page describes what the app does with data. The short version: nothing you scan leaves your phone.
Nothing, by us. The app has no account, no sign-up, and no analytics run by us.
Camera and your text. The camera photographs the text you point it at, and the text is recognized entirely on your device using Google's on-device ML Kit. The photo is discarded after recognition; it is never saved to your photo library and never uploaded. Your scan history (text only, last 10 scans) is stored only on your phone and you can clear it at any time. Nothing you scan leaves the phone.
Advertising. The free version shows one banner ad served by Google AdMob. AdMob may process device information (such as advertising ID and IP address) to serve and measure ads, as in any ad-supported app. In the EU/EEA and UK you will be asked for consent first, and you can choose non-personalized ads. See Google's privacy policy. If you purchase "Remove ads", no ads are shown.
Purchases. The "Remove ads" purchase is handled entirely by Google Play. We receive no payment details.
We run no servers for this app, so there is nothing for us to retain, sell, or share. The only third party involved is Google (AdMob for ads, Google Play for purchases), under their own policies.
The app is not directed at children.
