Image to Text ("the app") reads the text in photos and files on your iPhone. It is made by Brian Kershner and built so that what you scan stays on your device.

Photos, files and text

When you scan with the camera, pick photos or open a file, the app reads the text on the iPhone itself. The images, the recognized text and your edits are saved only in the app's storage on your iPhone. They are not uploaded, synced or sent to us or anyone else. The app has no account system and works offline.

The camera and photo library are used only when you choose to scan or pick something. The app sees only the photos you pick.

Purchases

If you buy Image to Text Pro, the purchase is processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat, a purchase-management service, to confirm purchases. RevenueCat receives a random anonymous identifier and your purchase history for this app, never your name, contacts, photos or anything you scanned. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Notifications

If you start a free trial and allow notifications, the app schedules one local reminder on your iPhone the day before the trial ends. It is created on the device. No push service is used and nothing is sent from a server.

Analytics and tracking

The app contains no analytics, no ads and no tracking. We do not collect usage data.

Exports

Text, PDF and Markdown files are created on your iPhone and go only where you choose to send them (Files, Mail, Messages, AirDrop, print and so on).

Deleting your data

Delete any scan in the app (touch and hold it in the list, or use the trash button), use Settings, Delete every scan, or delete the app. Everything it stored goes with it. Turning off Keep the original photos in Settings keeps only small thumbnails of new scans.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address.
