Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 5, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to “AI Business Card Scanner.” This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app. By using the app, you agree to the terms outlined here.
2. Information We Collect
- User-Provided Content:When you scan a business card, the app captures images and extracts text (e.g., name, phone number, email, address). That raw text is sent to OpenAI’s API for processing. We do not collect any personal data from you beyond what is on the card you scan.
- Device Data:We may access your device’s camera (to scan cards) and file storage (to save scanned images). No other device identifiers or analytics data are collected.
- Third-Party Processing:The raw text you provide is processed by OpenAI’s servers. We have no control over (and no claim to) any data retained by OpenAI; for details on how they use or store your information, please refer to OpenAI’s privacy policy.
3. Data Storage and Usage
- Local Storage:Scanned images and extracted text are stored locally on your device (in an app-specific database or application documents folder). This data is not transmitted to any remote servers under our control except when you explicitly trigger a “Share” action.
- OpenAI API:When you scan a card, the app sends only the raw, user-provided text to OpenAI. We rely on OpenAI’s API to identify and parse contact information; we do not retain any of that information on our servers. Any data OpenAI retains or collects is governed by their policies.
- No Unsolicited Collection:We do not collect or store personal data unless you initiate a scan. We do not use analytics services, track usage patterns, or share data with advertisers.
4. Children's Privacy
Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from anyone under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child under 13 has provided personal data should contact us to request deletion.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to safeguard your data on your device. However, please note that no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for securing your device (e.g., using lock screens, encryption) to prevent unauthorized access to scanned cards.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
