RedactSnap Privacy Policy

Android · Last updated November 13, 2026

Summary

RedactSnap processes your selected documents and recognized text on your device. No RedactSnap account or cloud OCR is required. Versions with monetization use Google AdMob for ads and RevenueCat with Google Play for purchases. These services use the internet separately from document processing. Documents, filenames/paths, recognized text, findings and custom rules are not sent to advertising or purchase services.

Files and processing

Open individual images or PDFs using system pickers, the camera, or your system share sheet. The app reads only files you select. It keeps temporary working copies and locally stored settings, custom rules, recent file references, and batch recovery paths. These local references can remain until cleared or the app is removed.

OCR uses Google ML Kit bundled Latin text recognition on device. Redacted copies are generated locally; original files are not overwritten. Image exports do not copy source EXIF/GPS metadata; PDFs are recreated from page images without the original text layer, attachments or annotations. Exported files remain wherever you save or share them, and other apps' policies apply when you share them.

Permissions and system services

System file and photo pickers provide access to selected items. The system camera can be used for a single photo. Android may use a foreground service and a notification for batch progress. The operating system and your chosen storage or sharing providers handle their respective permissions and services.

Review before sharing

OCR and pattern matching can miss sensitive information. Review every page before exporting and sharing. Opaque redaction is the safest provided style; blur and pixelation may leave information recoverable.

Purchases

One-time Pro purchases are processed by Google Play. RevenueCat validates purchase history, manages Pro access and restores purchases using an anonymous app user identifier, transaction/product information and purchase status. The app does not provide RevenueCat with your name, email address, document contents or user-entered customer attributes. Payment card details are handled by the store payment provider, not collected by RedactSnap. Purchase and restoration require an internet connection. RevenueCat processes purchase history for app functionality and purchase analytics; this does not include analytics of your documents.

Advertising and privacy choices

Free use may display a Google AdMob banner at the bottom of the home screen. A ready interstitial ad may appear immediately after a successful export, with at least three minutes between displays. The output is created before the ad; unavailable ads do not delay it. Single photos and single PDFs are free, regardless of page count. Pro provides batches of up to 20 files, unlimited custom regex rules and no ads. Features are not unlocked through rewarded ads in the current version. With verified Pro access the app does not request or display ads. Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) manages applicable consent and advertising privacy choices; where required, these choices can be reopened from Settings.

Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share IP addresses, ad/app interactions, diagnostics and device or account identifiers for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. An IP address may indicate approximate location. Identifier availability depends on your device, permissions and privacy settings. RedactSnap requests non-personalized ads; this does not eliminate SDK data processing. You can also manage or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. Test builds use Google test ad units, but test mode does not mean that SDK network traffic stops.

Offline use, retention and deletion

Scanning, OCR and redacted-copy generation run on device without internet. Loading ads, making a purchase and restoring purchases require connectivity. Previously verified purchase status is cached by the purchase SDK; legacy job-access records and recovery selections are stored locally. Uninstalling may remove local records. Saved exports remain in the locations you choose; delete them there. Purchases can be restored using the relevant Google Play account; automatic transfer to another mobile store is not offered.

Purchase and advertising services may process information on servers outside your country. Their retention depends on their service, security and legal obligations; uninstalling the app does not automatically delete provider-held records. To request access to or deletion of information we can control, contact the email below. We may need enough information to locate your anonymous purchase record. Store transaction records may need to be managed through Google Play and may be retained as required by law.

Service providers

SDK communications use encrypted connections. Details about provider processing and choices are available in Google’s Privacy Policy, RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy and Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy. No standalone analytics SDK is included in this implementation.

Ratings and reviews

When you choose to submit a rating or review, the platform store handles the information you enter under its own terms and privacy policy. Google Play In-App Reviews handles the rating and any review text you submit; Google Play may display that review publicly or share it privately for a closed test.
