Privacy Policy — Scanner Keyboard · Last updated: 2026-10-04

What the app does

Scanner Keyboard is an on-screen keyboard. It scans barcodes and QR codes. It puts the scanned text into the text field you use.

Data the app collects

None. The app does not collect data about you.

Data the app stores on your device

• The last 20 scanned or copied texts (scan history).
• Text you copy while this keyboard is active. The app saves it so you can re-use it.

This data never leaves your device. You can clear the history in the app at any time. Uninstalling the app deletes it. The app blocks cloud and device-to-device backup (AndroidManifest.xml: allowBackup="false").

Network access

The app has no INTERNET permission. Android itself cannot let the app send data.

Camera

The camera runs only while the scanner view is on screen. It releases the camera when the scanner closes or the keyboard hides. Camera images stay in memory. The app never saves a picture. Code reading happens on the device with Google ML Kit's bundled model.

Children

The app is not directed to children and collects nothing.
