Scani ("we", "our", "the app") is a menu translation app that helps users understand Japanese restaurant menus. Your privacy matters to us.
Scani does not collect, store, or share any personal information. We do not require account creation, login, or registration.
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.
Text recognition (Apple Vision) and speech pronunciation (AVSpeechSynthesizer) run entirely on your device. No data is shared with third parties for these features.
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.
Scan history and preferences are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
Scani is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
