Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Your privacy is the foundation of Archive: Document Scanner. This Privacy Policy explains how Archive handles your information - the short answer is: your data never leaves your device.

Our Privacy Commitment

Archive: Document Scanner is designed with privacy as its core principle:

• No Cloud Storage: All documents are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
• No Accounts: No login, no registration, no user accounts.
• No Analytics: No usage tracking, no analytics SDKs, no telemetry.
• No Advertising: No ads, no ad networks, no advertising identifiers.
• No Third-Party Services: No external APIs, no cloud services. Only native Apple frameworks.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Archive: Document Scanner does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Location data
• Usage analytics or behavior tracking
• Document contents or images
• Any data to external servers

Local Data Storage

All data created within Archive is stored exclusively on your device:

• Scanned Documents: Stored locally using SwiftData with external storage for images (JPEG format)
• App Settings: Stored locally using UserDefaults
• Biometric Preferences: Managed by iOS LocalAuthentication framework

This local data is included in your device's standard iCloud backup if you have device backups enabled through iOS Settings.

Biometric Data

Archive uses Face ID or Touch ID to protect individual documents. The app:

• Never accesses or stores your biometric data
• Uses Apple's LocalAuthentication framework exclusively
• Only receives a success/failure result from iOS
• Does not store any biometric templates or identifiers

Data Sharing

We do not share any data because we do not collect any data. There are:

• No analytics partners
• No advertising partners
• No data brokers
• No third-party services

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Delete individual documents within the app at any time
• Uninstall the app to remove all app data
• No server-side data exists to delete

Children's Privacy

Archive: Document Scanner does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app can be safely used by users of all ages.

Apple App Store

Archive is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect certain data as part of the App Store experience, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Since we collect no user data, we have no way to notify users directly of changes.

Summary

Archive: Document Scanner is a truly private app. Your documents stay on your device. We cannot see them. We cannot access them. We do not want them. That's the way it should be.
