Privacy Policy

The short version

• Your files, scans, and photos never leave your device, and we never upload or see them.
• There is no account, so we do not collect your name, email, or phone number.
• We collect anonymous, aggregated usage data to fix bugs and improve features. You can turn it off in Settings.
• We never sell your data to anyone.

Who we are

SmartPrint is created by NorthStudio ("we", "us"). If you have any question about this policy or your data, contact us at support@northstud.io.

What stays on your device

The content you work with in SmartPrint is processed on your device and stored only on your device (and in your own iCloud, if you enable iCloud sync). We do not receive, upload, or store any of it. This includes:

• Documents, PDFs, and files you import or create;
• Photos you select and images you scan with the camera;
• The text recognized from your scans;
• The documents you send to your printer.

Printing is handled by Apple's AirPrint. Your document goes directly from your device to your printer over your local network. It does not pass through our servers.

Anonymous analytics

To understand which features are useful and to fix crashes, we use third-party analytics tools, currently Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics) and Mixpanel. These collect a limited, anonymous set of information:

• Anonymous event names, such as "a scan was completed" or "a template was printed", and aggregate counts;
• A random, anonymous identifier that is not linked to your name or Apple ID;
• General device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version;
• Crash and performance diagnostics.

We never send your files, scanned text, photo contents, printer details, or any personal information to these tools. You can turn analytics off at any time in Settings, and Release builds honor that choice.

Permissions we ask for

• Camera — only when you scan a document. Images are processed on your device.
• Photos — only when you choose a photo to print or edit. We access only what you pick.
• Local network — to discover AirPrint printers on your Wi-Fi so you can print to them.

Third-party services

Some parts of the app rely on services provided by others. Their handling of any data is governed by their own privacy policies:

• Apple (App Store, AirPrint, iCloud) — apple.com/legal/privacy
• Google Firebase — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Mixpanel — mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy

When you import a file from a cloud service such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, you do so through Apple's own file picker. Your sign-in and access are handled by that service and Apple, not by us.

Children

SmartPrint is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because we do not collect personal information from anyone, this is unlikely to arise, but if you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will address it.

Data retention

Content on your device stays until you delete it or remove the app. Anonymous analytics are retained in aggregate by our analytics providers according to their policies, and cannot be traced back to you.

International users

Our analytics providers may process anonymous data on servers in the United States and other countries. No personal or content data is involved.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. We will post the new version here and update the date above. Significant changes will be highlighted in the app where appropriate.
