Paperlet privacy policy

Last updated: 3 November 2026

Paperlet is a document scanner made by CodeSaz (codesaz.com). Your documents are processed entirely on your device.

We keep nothing about you. Paperlet has no account, no ads, no tracking and no analytics of its own. We never receive your documents or their text.
Update check. When the app opens, and from time to time while you use it, it asks our server (paperlet.codesaz.com, served through Cloudflare) whether a newer version is available. It sends the app version and build, platform, store, language, OS version, device model and a random ID created on install (not a hardware ID). Like any connection, the server sees your IP address. These are used only to answer that request, then discarded: our server does not log or store them. Cloudflare, which delivers our site, handles the connection under its own privacy policy.
Your scans stay on your device. Pages, text read from them (OCR), folders and tags are stored only in the app's private storage. We cannot see them.
Nothing is uploaded. Text recognition (English, Arabic, Kurdish) and page flattening run on the device. Your pages and text are never sent anywhere.
Optional downloads. The page-flattening model (and a reading language, if it ever needs reinstalling) downloads once, when you ask, from GitHub and Hugging Face. Like any download, those sites see your IP address; nothing about you or your documents is sent. After that they work offline.
Google's scanner (Android). The camera scanner is Google ML Kit. It sends Google diagnostics: device and app information, device identifiers, performance metrics and error codes, encrypted in transit, not shared with third parties (ML Kit data disclosure). Your scanned pages and text are not sent. The iPhone app uses Apple's on-device scanner (VisionKit) and contains no analytics or diagnostics SDK.
Camera and photos are used only when you scan or pick an image, and only to make the document you asked for.
Sharing happens only when you tap Share; you choose the app that receives the file. Location data (EXIF/GPS) is removed from exported files.
Device backup of Paperlet's data is turned off (Android backup, iCloud), so scans are not copied to any cloud by the system.
Deleting the app deletes all of its data.
Children: Paperlet keeps no data about anyone, including children.
