1. Introduction

At Sonydroids, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Smart Printer Scanner App.

The app is designed to help you scan, convert, save, and share documents securely and conveniently. To provide these features, certain permissions and third-party services are required. We believe in transparency and want you to understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is handled.

By using this app, you consent to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

We do not require personal data to use the basic features of the app. However, you may choose to share:

Support Queries – When you email us, you may provide your name and email address.

Billing Information – When purchasing premium features, payment is processed securely by Google Play Billing. We do not store card details.

Cloud Integration (if used) – If you connect with third-party cloud services (e.g., Google Drive), we request limited access permissions for file saving and retrieval.

3.2 Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)

We automatically collect non-identifiable data to improve app performance:

Device type, OS version, screen size, and language settings.

Crash logs, error reports, and performance data.

Usage statistics (e.g., number of scans, features used, time spent).

Approximate location (city/country, not precise GPS) via IP address.

3.3 Third-Party Data Collection

Our free app relies on advertising and analytics services. These third parties may collect data such as:

Ad views and interactions.

We do not sell, trade, or misuse your personal data.

If a child shares personal data with us, parents can contact us for deletion.
