This policy explains what information DocuScan collects, why, and the choices you have about it.
Welcome to DocuScan. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how DocuScan ("DocuScan," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, processes, and protects information when you visit docuscanorg.com or use our document-related tools and services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
We may collect the following categories of information:
DocuScan provides tools that may allow you to upload, scan, convert, enhance, crop, or otherwise process documents, images, and files. Files submitted to a DocuScan tool are processed only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested functionality.
We do not intentionally use the contents of private documents or uploaded files to select personalized advertisements. Depending on the tool, processing may occur in your browser or through our website infrastructure. You should avoid uploading highly confidential information unless it is necessary for the service you are using.
We may use information to:
DocuScan uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, analytics, security, advertising, and performance. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device and may help websites remember information about your visit.
Depending on your location and applicable law, we may ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Most browsers allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.
DocuScan may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies in connection with advertisements displayed on our website. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to DocuScan or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to DocuScan and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You may also be able to opt out of personalized advertising from participating third-party vendors through YourAdChoices / AboutAds.
For more information about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services, you can review Google's information about partner sites.
DocuScan may use Google Analytics and similar analytics services to understand website traffic and how visitors use our services. Analytics providers may collect information such as pages visited, session duration, browser and device information, general geographic information, referring pages, and interaction or performance information.
We use analytics information to measure website performance, identify technical problems, understand usage patterns, and improve our services. Where legally required, analytics technologies requiring consent will not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.
When a visitor requests a printable PDF edition of a DocuScan Journal article, we register the article identifier, IP address, browser information, referring page, selected article theme and template, and the exact request timestamp. We use this limited server-side record to measure article downloads, maintain security, investigate abuse, and support accurate administrative reporting.
For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, DocuScan may display a consent message that allows users to manage choices relating to cookies, advertising technologies, personalized advertising, and personal-data processing.
Where required, we use a consent-management mechanism compatible with applicable Google publisher requirements. Depending on the choices available, users may be able to accept or reject certain non-essential technologies, manage advertising personalization, and change or withdraw their consent choices.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share or make information available where reasonably necessary to operate DocuScan, including with:
Certain advertising-related disclosures may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under some privacy laws even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, users may exercise legally available opt-out rights through consent or advertising-preference controls.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing the Service, responding to inquiries, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations. Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.
We aim to avoid retaining uploaded documents or files longer than reasonably necessary to provide the requested processing functionality.
Depending on your country or region, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also be able to opt out of certain personalized advertising or advertising-related data sharing. These rights may be subject to legal limitations and identity-verification requirements. To make a privacy request, please contact us through the Contact Us page.
California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws. Depending on whether those laws apply to DocuScan and the processing involved, these may include rights relating to access, correction, deletion, and certain forms of sale or sharing of personal information.
DocuScan does not sell personal information for money. Where legally applicable, users may also have the right to opt out of certain advertising-related sharing.
DocuScan is not specifically directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided personal information to DocuScan inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction. However, no website, Internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Some service providers, advertising partners, or analytics providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.
DocuScan may contain links to websites, advertisements, products, or services operated by third parties. We do not control the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, advertising partners, technologies, legal requirements, or business practices.
