Your privacy, in plain language · Updated July 22, 2026

Your Data, Your Control.
Privacy First.

DocQR Tools is built privacy-first. Scanning, PDFs, notes, and timers run entirely on your device. Sign in with Google to optionally sync your coins and preferences across devices via encrypted cloud storage. When you use an AI feature, your text is sent over a secure encrypted connection, used once, then immediately deleted — never stored, never sold.

Quick Overview & Highlights

A condensed overview of our design values. Utility apps should never violate user privacy.

What We Never Do

No Tracking: We never log your searches, scan history, AI prompts, or converted text.
No Servers: We host no database for your files, PDFs, or scan history.
No Data Selling: Your inputs are never repackaged or sold to advertisers.

What We Guarantee

Secure Processing: Inputs go directly to official APIs via TLS-encrypted tunnels.
Local-First Storage: All tools work offline. Cloud sync is optional and only for signed-in users.
Offline Access: Calculators, timers, levels, and rulers work with no internet.

AI Tools Feature Privacy

DocQR Tools includes AI features: PDF Summarize, Smart Reply, Text Enhance, Grammar Fix, and Writing Assistant. Here is how we treat your AI interactions:

In-Flight Encrypted Processing

AI requests are sent over encrypted HTTPS directly to processing endpoints. No intermediate server stores the transmission.

Immediate Deletion Policy

Inputs are processed in-memory. Once the response returns to your device, the processing memory is fully purged.

Custom User API Keys

To bypass rate limits, you can add your own OpenRouter/Gemini API key. It is saved in your device's secured local storage, used strictly for direct API requests, and never transmitted to us or any other server.

Simple Terms Summary

Your text travels directly from your device to the secure AI engine and returns instantly. We do not inspect, retain, or back up any of it.

Local Features & App Permissions

All standard utilities (PDF generation, QR logs, notes, tasks, timers, converters) run entirely on-device. The app requests these permissions:

CAMERA

Enables QR and barcode scanning. Video is analyzed in-memory on-device and is never stored or shared.

STORAGE

Imports local images and documents for PDF creation and saves generated files to your device.

MICROPHONE

Used only for Speech-to-Text (STT) voice input. Audio is accessed only while you actively use the feature and is never recorded, stored, or shared by DocQR Tools. Voice is processed on-device when available to convert speech into text.

NOTIFICATIONS

Sends reminders for your tasks and schedules. Notifications are generated locally without external servers.

NETWORK ACCESS

Required for AI features, rewarded ads, optional cloud services, and checking internet connectivity. No network requests are made unless you use an online feature.

3

Cloud Sync & Data Storage

DocQR Tools operates in two modes: Local-Only (guest users) and Cloud Sync (signed-in users). You choose which mode to use:

Guest Mode (Default)

All data stays on your device in local storage. No account required. Deleting the app erases all history, notes, and coins. Export important files for safety.

Cloud Sync (Optional)

Sign in with Google to sync your coin balance and preferences across devices via Firebase Firestore. Your documents, PDFs, and personal files are never uploaded — only app state data syncs to enable cross-device continuity.

Encrypted Transport

All network traffic (AI features, cloud sync, ads) uses HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption, preventing eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Account Deletion

You can sign out at any time. Your cloud data remains until you request deletion by contacting support@bengalbytes.com. Local data is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Device Security

Enable a passcode, face unlock, or fingerprint on your device to protect local data from physical tampering.

Third-Party Service Integration

To fund updates, enable optional cloud sync, reward ads, and monitor stability, we use a few select SDKs. Expand each for details:

Used only if you choose to sign in with Google. We receive your Google display name and email address for account identification. This data is stored in Firebase Authentication and is never shared with third parties. You can sign out and request deletion at any time. Governed by the Firebase Privacy Terms.

Used only for signed-in users to sync coin balance and preferences across devices. Stores: user ID, coin balance, feature usage stats, and last active timestamp. Never stores documents, PDFs, personal files, or scan history. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Governed by the Firebase Privacy Terms.

Uses device identifiers and approximate location to serve ads and award coins. Restrict tracking via Google Ads settings on Android. Subject to the Google Privacy Policy.

Collects anonymous diagnostic and performance telemetry to debug faults. Contains no personal text, files, or notes. Only stack traces and device info for crash resolution. Governed by the Firebase Privacy Terms.

Secure relay for AI writing workflows. Prompts are sent encrypted over HTTPS, processed, and cleared without caching. See the OpenRouter Privacy Statement.
