Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Scani ("we", "our", "the app") is a menu translation app that helps users understand Japanese restaurant menus. Your privacy matters to us.

What data we collect

Scani does not collect, store, or share any personal information. We do not require account creation, login, or registration.

Camera and Photos

The app accesses your camera and photo library solely to scan menu images for translation. Photos are sent to Google's Gemini API for processing. If you submit a report, menu images and selected issues are sent to our team via a secure webhook to help improve translation quality. Photos are not stored on our servers beyond what is needed to process your report.

On-Device Processing

Text recognition (Apple Vision) and speech pronunciation (AVSpeechSynthesizer) run entirely on your device. No data is shared with third parties for these features.

Advertising

Scani uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve relevant ads. This data is handled by Google according to their privacy policy.

On-Device Data

Scan history and preferences are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Third-Party Services

Children's Privacy

Scani is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
