How data works inside DocQR Tools

100% On-Device PDF Merge, Split, Lock & Camera Scanning

Zero Upload Default

Core PDF operations (merge, split, compress, watermark, password lock) and camera QR/Barcode scans run locally inside Android Scoped Storage with zero cloud uploads.

  • Background gallery or storage folders are never scanned automatically
  • Camera feed processes frames in volatile RAM exclusively during active scans
  • Works smoothly offline with zero account required
§ 01 · PrivacyScoped storage files, optional auth & runtime camera access

Information Processed & Local-First Default

DocQR Tools (com.bengalbytes.docqr_tools) processes your PDF files, images, and QR codes locally on your Android device by default using Android's privacy-preserving Photo Picker and Document Provider.

If you voluntarily sign in with Google or Email, Firebase Authentication stores your email address, display name, and UID solely to sync your saved workspace items.

  • Camera Permission: Used strictly in real time while scanning QR codes, barcodes, or paper documents.
  • AdMob & Crashlytics: Free tiers display ads via Google AdMob (with certified UMP GDPR consent dialogs) and log anonymous crash diagnostics.
§ 02 · SecurityTLS 1.3 transport encryption & strict zero-sale commitment

Encryption Standards & Data Sharing Policy

All network communication — including optional cloud sync, AI OCR requests, and crash diagnostics — is encrypted in transit via HTTPS/TLS 1.3. Bengal Bytes never sells, rents, or trades user documents or personal information.
