Privacy Policy
Privacy summary. Scanora PDF Scanner has no advertising tracker and no Scanora document server. Your documents stay on your device unless you choose a system import/export destination or enable Apple iCloud synchronization.
Camera, Photos, and Files
Scanora requests camera access when you scan. It accesses Photos, Files, or iCloud Drive only when you choose an import action or select a file in an Apple system picker. Scanora does not scan your library in the background.
On-device processing
Page cropping, filters, rotation, and on-device OCR are processed locally. Recognized text is stored with the local document package so you can search or copy it. Scanora does not send page images or OCR text to a Scanora server.
Local storage and deletion
Documents, unfinished scans, edits, thumbnails, OCR indexes, signatures, stamps, and settings are stored in the app’s local container. The current scan is backed up locally for recovery after an interruption; saving or explicitly discarding the scan clears that draft. Unfinished scans are not included in Scanora iCloud synchronization. Documents moved to Recently Deleted remain recoverable until you permanently delete them. Operating-system backup and deletion behavior may retain other copies.
Optional iCloud synchronization
Scanora can synchronize the document library, including collection names, tag definitions, and their change records, through your Apple iCloud container. This is user-controlled and can be stopped from Settings. Signature and stamp synchronization requires separate consent. Apple controls iCloud storage and account access. Sync is included with the app purchase and has no subscription requirement. Read-only cloud recovery downloads documents without uploading edits or propagating deletions.
App Store purchase
Scanora is a paid download with all features included. Apple handles the app purchase, payment, billing, and refund requests through your Apple Account. Scanora does not collect payment-card data or require subscription-status verification to unlock features.
Face ID and App Lock
When you enable App Lock, Scanora uses Apple LocalAuthentication. Scanora receives only the authentication result and does not collect or store biometric data.
Diagnostics and support
Scanora has no hidden analytics claim. If you contact support, you choose what diagnostic details to provide. Please do not send confidential document contents; app version, iOS version, device model, operation, and exact error text are usually enough.
Children and policy updates
Scanora is not directed to children. We may update this policy when the product or law changes. The effective date above identifies the current version.
