ScanEase

ScanEase is a versatile application designed to scan and generate QR codes, perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and save the generated QR codes to your photo gallery. To fully support these core functionalities, ScanEase requires access to certain permissions on your device.
1. Camera Permission
Purpose:
The camera permission is essential for allowing ScanEase to access your device's camera. This access enables the app to scan QR codes directly using the camera in real-time. Additionally, the camera is used for capturing images that can be processed with OCR to extract text from them.
Functionality Enabled by This Permission:
Scanning QR codes directly from the camera.
Capturing images for OCR processing.
How We Use This Permission:
Real-Time Scanning: The camera is used to focus and capture QR codes, enabling fast and accurate scanning within the app.
OCR Processing: When you want to extract text from a physical document or image, the camera captures the image, which is then processed by the app to retrieve the text.
2. Photo/Media/Files Permission
Purpose:
The photo/media/files permission allows ScanEase to access your device’s storage. This permission is required to perform the following actions:
Save generated QR codes to your photo gallery.
Access images stored in your gallery for QR code scanning and OCR processing.
Functionality Enabled by This Permission:
Saving generated QR codes directly to your photo gallery for easy access.
Selecting existing images from your gallery to scan QR codes or extract text using OCR.
How We Use This Permission:
Saving QR Codes: After generating a QR code within the app, you can save it as an image to your device's gallery. This allows you to easily use the QR code whenever needed.
Gallery Access: You can choose images from your device's gallery to scan for QR codes or perform OCR on text within those images.
3. Data Privacy and Security
ScanEase does not collect or store any personal data from your device. The permissions requested are solely for enabling the core functionalities of the app. All processing of QR codes and text recognition is done locally on your device, and no data is transmitted to external servers or third parties.
We prioritize your privacy and ensure that the permissions granted are used responsibly and only for the purposes described above.
By using ScanEase, you agree to the permissions requested by the app to ensure its full functionality.
