Privacy Policy — SnapCopy

Last updated: 22 August 2026 · Applies to the Android app com.hueshu.snapcopy

1. Information we collect

None. We do not collect, store, transmit, sell or share any personal information. Specifically, SnapCopy does not collect:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers or any account information (the app has no accounts and no sign-in)
• Photos, documents, scans or generated PDF files
• Location data
• Device identifiers, advertising IDs or usage analytics
• Crash reports or diagnostic data

2. Why we can make that claim

SnapCopy is built so that transmitting data is technically impossible rather than merely prohibited by policy:

• The app does not request the android.permission.INTERNET permission. Without it, Android blocks the app from opening any network connection at the operating system level.
• The app contains no third-party SDKs — no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no push notifications.
• All image processing and PDF generation runs entirely on your device's processor.

You can verify the permission list yourself on the Google Play store listing, under “App permissions → See more”.

3. Permissions we do request, and why

Permission	Purpose
CAMERA	To photograph the document you want to print. Requested only at the moment you open the camera. Captured images are written to the app's private storage on your device and are never uploaded.
VIBRATE	A short haptic tap to confirm a page was captured during continuous shooting.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 9 and older only)	To save the generated PDF to your Downloads folder on older Android versions. On Android 10 and newer these permissions are not requested at all, because saving uses the system file picker instead.

If you decline the camera permission, the app remains usable: you can still import images from your photo library or receive them from other apps.

4. Images you import or share into the app

You can bring images into SnapCopy from your photo library, or by sharing them from another app. When you do, the image is copied into SnapCopy's private storage on your device so it can be processed. It is not uploaded anywhere. You can delete it at any time from within the app.

5. Where your files live, and how to delete them

Original photos, processed pages and generated PDFs are stored in the app's private directory on your device, which other apps cannot read. You control them entirely:

• Delete individual pages, or clear all pages, from inside the app.
• Exported PDFs older than 24 hours are removed automatically on the next app start.
• Uninstalling SnapCopy deletes all of its data from your device.

The app also opts out of Android's automatic cloud backup (allowBackup="false" plus explicit data-extraction rules), so your scanned pages are not copied into your Google account backup or transferred during device-to-device migration.

6. Printing

When you print, SnapCopy hands the generated PDF to the Android system print framework. From that point the print job is handled by Android and by whichever print service your printer manufacturer provides — SnapCopy is not involved in, and has no visibility into, that transfer. Please refer to your printer manufacturer's privacy policy for how they handle print jobs.

7. Children's privacy

SnapCopy is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. Because it collects no data of any kind, it collects no data from children either.

8. Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app changes what data it handles, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the “Last updated” date above will change. Since the app currently has no network access, any such change would be substantial and clearly disclosed in the release notes.
