Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 7, 2026

PaperSnap ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Privacy First: Your document images are never stored on our servers. We process images only to extract event information, then immediately discard them. We believe your personal documents should stay personal.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Account Information: When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address and display name from the authentication provider.
Calendar Access: With your permission, we access your device's calendar to add events you choose to save.

Information Collected Automatically

Event Data: When you scan documents, our AI extracts event information (titles, dates, locations, keywords). This extracted text data may be aggregated and anonymized for analytics purposes and is not used to identify individual users.
Usage Analytics: We collect anonymized data about app usage, including scan frequency, document categories, feature usage, and error logs.
Device Information: Basic device information such as device type, operating system version, and app version for troubleshooting purposes.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Your Document Images: We do not store, retain, or use your scanned document images for any purpose including AI training or service improvement. Images are processed temporarily and discarded after event extraction.
Calendar Contents: We do not read or store your existing calendar events. We only write new events that you explicitly choose to add.
Your Device Location: We do not access your device's GPS or precise location data. Any location information displayed in the app is extracted solely from the text within the documents you scan.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

Provide and maintain the PaperSnap service
Extract events from your scanned documents
Add events to your calendar upon your request
Improve our AI accuracy and service quality through anonymized analytics
Understand usage patterns (e.g., common document types, scan success rates)
Identify and fix technical issues
Communicate important service updates

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: Your scanned document images are stored only on your device
Cloud Sync: If you enable cloud sync, scan metadata (not images) may be synced across your devices. This metadata includes extracted event information only and does not include document images or full document text.
Authentication: We use industry-standard OAuth 2.0 for secure sign-in
Encryption: All data transmitted to our servers is encrypted using TLS

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Google Sign-In / Apple Sign-In: For authentication
Supabase: For backend services and data storage
AI Service Providers: For document analysis (images are processed transiently and are not stored or used for training, according to their published terms of service)

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

Access: Request a copy of your data
Delete: Delete your account and associated data
Opt-out: Disable analytics collection in app settings (where available)
Revoke Permissions: Revoke calendar or camera permissions through your device settings

Data Retention

Account Data: Retained until you delete your account
Analytics Data: Anonymized analytics are retained for up to 24 months
Document Images: Never stored on our servers; local copies remain on your device until you delete them
