What information does Scannerd collect about me?
At Scannerd, we take your privacy seriously and believe in transparency about the data we collect. When you use our app, register an account, or reach out for support, we gather certain details to improve your experience and ensure smooth functionality. This includes personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and account credentials. Additionally, we track transaction and usage data, including subscription details, payment records, and the features you engage with. If relevant, we may also collect professional and educational details to tailor our services accordingly.
To maintain security and optimize performance, we collect technical and analytical data, such as your IP address, device type, operating system, browser details, and mobile device identifiers. We also track connected extensions and plugins to ensure smooth compatibility. In some cases, we supplement our records using publicly available sources or third-party partners to verify business information, prevent fraud, and personalize your experience. For example, if you provide a company name, we may cross-check industry details with external databases. Additionally, when you contact customer support, we retain chat and email interactions, call recordings (where applicable), and feedback responses to enhance our assistance.

It enables us to offer personalised recommendations, detect fraudulent activity, process payments, and manage subscriptions efficiently. Furthermore, it helps us respond to support requests promptly and refine our services based on user feedback. We are committed to protecting your data and using it responsibly.

Does Scannerd disclose my personal information to others?
Scannerd values your privacy and is committed to keeping your personal information secure. We only share your information when necessary to provide our services, improve your experience, and comply with legal requirements. This includes working with trusted partners who help us operate our platform, such as payment processors, fraud prevention services, analytics providers, and customer support teams. In some cases, we may share information with advertisers and social media platforms to show you relevant content. However, we ensure that any data shared is handled with strict confidentiality and in line with our privacy policy.
We may also disclose information if required by law, such as responding to legal processes or protecting against fraudulent activities. If Scannerd undergoes a business change, such as a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred to the new entity to maintain service continuity. Additionally, we may share anonymised or aggregated data that does not personally identify you for analytical and research purposes. Your trust is important to us, and we take all necessary steps to safeguard your information while maintaining transparency about how it is used.
Is my personal information displayed anywhere within the Scannerd app?
Your personal information within the Scannerd app is handled with care, and we provide options to control what you share. While certain areas give you control over privacy settings, there are public sections where your shared content, including profile details, could be accessible to other users. In some cases, this information may appear in search results or be indexed by third parties, even after you request its removal.
We advise you to be mindful when sharing personal information, especially in forums, chats, or public discussions. If a feature displays your name, profile photo, or other details alongside your posts, it will be visible to others in that section. To maintain privacy, always check settings before posting and avoid sharing sensitive details in public areas.
Where does Scannerd store my personal information?
Scannerd stores your personal information securely on our servers and those of trusted service providers we work with to deliver a seamless experience. We take privacy seriously and ensure that your data is handled with the highest security standards. Our partnerships with reliable providers help us maintain smooth and efficient services while keeping your information safe. Your data is never shared without consent, and we are committed to protecting your privacy at every step.
How long does Scannerd retain my information?
Scannerd retains your information for as long as you actively use our services. Once you stop using the app, we delete data that is no longer needed for business purposes. However, some information may be kept even after account closure to meet legal and operational requirements, such as transaction records, which we store for ten years. If you’ve given consent for marketing, we’ll process your data until you opt out, with a short grace period to implement your request. We also keep a record to ensure we respect your preference in the future. Your privacy and data security remain our priority.
