Privacy
Policy

What PixScan accesses

With your permission, PixScan reads your device's photo library so it can show you your photos, recognise text in them, and delete the ones you choose. This permission is requested by iOS and can be changed or revoked at any time in Settings.

What PixScan stores

The following is written to local storage on your device only:

• Text extracted from photos you selected, and the date it was extracted
• A reference to the photo each extraction came from
• Which photos you have already reviewed, so you can resume where you stopped
• Your preferences, such as sort order and swipe action settings

This information never leaves your device. Deleting the app removes all of it.

What PixScan does not do

• It does not upload your photos or extracted text anywhere
• It does not use analytics, tracking, advertising or crash reporting services
• It does not create an account or ask for personal information
• It does not share anything with third parties, because it has nothing to share
• It makes no network requests of its own

Text recognition

Text is recognised using Apple's Vision framework, which runs entirely on your device. Images are never sent to a server for processing, not ours and not anyone else's.

iCloud Photos

If your photo library uses iCloud Photos, iOS may download a full-resolution photo from your own iCloud account when PixScan asks to display or read it. That transfer happens between your device and Apple, under Apple's privacy policy. PixScan is not a party to it and receives nothing from it beyond the image itself.

Deleting photos

PixScan never deletes a photo without your confirmation. Photos you swipe away are marked for removal inside the app. Deletion happens only when you explicitly confirm it, and is carried out by iOS, which shows its own confirmation dialog first. Deleted photos go to your Recently Deleted album and can be recovered there for 30 days.

Sharing and exporting

When you choose to share or export extracted text, iOS's own share sheet hands it to the destination you pick. What happens to it after that is governed by whichever app or service you chose. PixScan is not involved in that transfer.

Children's privacy

PixScan is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a revised date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
