The short version

Documents, scans, imported photos and generated PDFs are stored on your device.
The native iOS app does not require a DocMint account and does not upload documents to a DocMint server unless you export or share them yourself.
Camera access is used only when you choose to scan. Photos are imported only when you select them.
On-device OCR runs on the device. There is no advertising SDK and no cross-app tracking.
Anonymous counters (no identifier of any kind) help us count opens, the purchase funnel and install source. Richer usage statistics with a random installation ID are sent only if you choose Allow on first open.

How DocMint is used

You scan paper, import images or supported PDFs, edit pages, run on-device OCR, and export or share a finished PDF. No DocMint login is required for normal iOS scanning work.

DocMint does not automatically upload scans to a DocMint cloud archive. You decide when to export, share, or save a file outside the app.

Permissions

Camera: used only when you choose to scan a document.
Photo library: used only when you choose specific images or PDFs to import.

Permissions are requested when the related feature is selected and can be changed in iOS Settings.

What stays on the device

Projects, pages, OCR text and generated PDFs stay in the app on your device. Removing the app removes its local app data from that device.

Purchases

Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) processes subscriptions and payments. DocMint reads the entitlement needed to unlock Pro. It does not receive your payment-card or other payment details.

No advertising or tracking

DocMint does not sell personal data and does not include an advertising SDK or cross-app tracking in the app.

Desktop licenses, ChatGPT tools and DocMint website analytics are covered on the full policy at docmintscan.com/privacy.

Usage statistics and your choice

Before you choose, and also after you tap Not now, the app sends only anonymous counters to Bumblly’s own server (analytics.bumblly.com). Each counter contains the event name (for example app opened, first open, onboarding step, paywall shown, plan selected, purchase started, purchase succeeded or failed, trial started, document saved or exported), the platform, the app version and build, and at most one allowlisted property (such as the onboarding step, paywall source, plan, cold or warm start, or install source). Counters contain no installation ID, device ID, session ID, advertising ID, language setting or account. The server does not log IP addresses for these requests and only counts totals.

The app asks once, on first open, whether you want to share richer usage statistics. If you choose Allow, events may also include the operating-system version, language and region setting, plan or access tier, short crash information, and a random installation ID that the app creates itself. It is not an advertising ID or hardware identifier, is not linked to your identity, and a reinstall creates a new one. You can change your choice at any time in Settings.

Install source. On Android, the app reads the Google Play Install Referrer once and sends only the campaign source, medium and campaign name, plus a yes/no flag for whether an ad click ID was present. The click ID itself and the raw referrer stay on the phone. On iPhone and iPad, the app uses Apple’s AdServices framework; if the install came from an Apple Search Ads campaign, only the campaign, ad group and keyword IDs are sent once as an anonymous counter. No IDFA or advertising ID is used and there is no App Tracking Transparency prompt.

Statistics never contain scans, document text, OCR text, file names or images, are not shared with third parties and are not used for tracking.
