Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Card Scanner Pro ("the app"), published by AR Solutions, collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers the Android app and this website.

What the app collects

Card data you create

When you scan a visiting card, the app stores the text read from it - name, company, phone numbers, email address, postal address and website - along with the photographs you took of the card. This is your data about other people, entered by you.

Account details

If you create an account for cloud sync, we store your email address, an optional display name, and a one-way cryptographic hash of your password. We never store your password itself and cannot read it.

Subscription status

If you subscribe, Google Play gives us a purchase token that we send to Google to confirm the subscription is genuine, plus the product you bought and its expiry date. We never receive your card number, bank details or billing address - Google Play handles all payment and we have no access to it.

Technical information

Our server records the usual web server logs (IP address, time, and which request was made) and, when you sign in, whether the request came from the app or a browser. We do not use analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or tracking of any kind.

Scanning happens on your phone

Text recognition runs entirely on your device using Google ML Kit's on-device model. Card photographs are not sent anywhere to be read. If you do not create an account, nothing ever leaves your phone - the app works fully offline and stores everything locally.

What we do with it

• Store your cards so you can reach them from your phone and this website.
• Sync changes between your devices.
• Confirm your subscription with Google so paid features unlock.
• Keep the service secure - for example, limiting repeated failed logins.
• Support you when you contact us, which can mean an administrator viewing your account and cards - see below.

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to build a profile of you. We do not share it with anyone except as described in the next section.

Who else is involved

• Google Play - processes payments and tells us whether your subscription is valid. Google's privacy policy.
• Google ML Kit - performs text recognition on your device. The on-device model does not upload your images.
• Our web host - stores the database and card images if you use cloud sync, on servers in India or wherever our hosting provider operates.

Who at AR Solutions can see your data

Staff with an administrator account can view your account details and the visiting cards you have synced, including the card photographs. This is used to support you - answering questions about your subscription, investigating a fault, or acting on a request from you.

Every such access is recorded - who looked, at which account, and when. We do not browse your cards for any other purpose, and we do not use their contents for marketing, analytics, training, or anything unrelated to running the service.

If you would rather no card data reached our servers at all, do not create an account: without one the app never uploads anything and works entirely on your phone.

How long we keep it

Synced cards are kept until you delete them or delete your account. A deleted card is retained briefly as a deletion marker so the deletion can reach your other devices, then removed permanently. Deleting your account removes your cards and card photos from our servers immediately.

Deleting your account and data

You can delete everything at any time, in either of two ways:

• In the app - Home → your account → Delete my account.
• On this website - use the account deletion page.

Deleting removes your account, every synced card and every card photo from our servers. It cannot be undone. Cards saved on your phone are not affected, and an active Google Play subscription must be cancelled separately in Google Play.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to erase it. Cards can be exported to Excel at any time from the app or this website. For anything else, email support@example.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will remove it.

Security

Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Sign-in tokens are stored as hashes, so a copy of our database would not let anyone into your account. Card images can only be fetched by the account that uploaded them. No system is perfectly secure, but we do not keep anything we do not need.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top and, where the change affects how your data is used, notify you in the app.
