Terms of Service

Last updated 10 November 2026 · Applies to the Pocket Scanner Android app (com.pocketscanner.app)

The short version. Pocket Scanner is free to use, supported by ads, with an optional one-time purchase that removes them. Your documents stay on your phone and are yours. Use the app lawfully, and keep your own copies of anything important.

Agreement

These terms apply to the Pocket Scanner Android application (“the app”), provided by Arjun Sidana (“we”, “us”). By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app.

Using the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for any lawful purpose. You may not copy, modify, resell or redistribute the app, or attempt to reverse engineer it except where the law allows.

Your documents

Everything you scan, edit and export belongs to you. The app processes it on your device only; we never receive, see or store it. See the Privacy Policy for details.

You are responsible for what you scan and share. Only scan documents you have the right to copy, and do not use the app to forge, alter or misrepresent documents, signatures or identity cards.

Because your files exist only on your device, they are lost if you delete them, clear the app’s data, uninstall the app or lose the device. Keep your own copies of anything important. If you protect a PDF with a password, we cannot recover that password for you.

Ads and purchases

The app shows ads served by Google AdMob. Some features can be unlocked by choosing to watch a rewarded ad; this is always optional.

You can remove ads with a one-time in-app purchase made through Google Play. Payment, billing and refunds are handled by Google Play under its own terms and refund policy. The purchase is tied to your Google account and can be restored on a new device signed in to the same account.

Changes and availability

We may update the app, change or remove features, or stop offering it at any time. We will try to give notice in the app’s release notes for significant changes.

No warranty

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that it will be error-free, that scans will be accurate or legible, or that exported files will be accepted by any particular recipient.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss of data or documents, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the app, if any. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. This does not take away any mandatory protection you have under the laws of the country where you live.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
