Security and privacy

Know what happens to your pages.

SCANIFY uses your document contents to make the PDF and provide search. Here is the practical version of how that information moves through the service.

  1. 01You choose the pagesCamera and photo access are used when you choose to capture or select a page.
  2. 02SCANIFY builds the PDFUploaded page images are processed in memory and are not kept as separate stored image files.
  3. 03Your result is storedThe PDF, including its page images, and recognized text remain private to your account until deletion.
  4. 04You control removalDelete one scan or delete the account and its stored scans from the product.

Account-scoped access

SCANIFY uses Clerk for authentication. Stored PDFs use private object storage, and downloads require authorization before SCANIFY creates a short-lived link.

No generative-AI provider

Text recognition runs with Tesseract inside the SCANIFY server process. Page contents are not sent to a generative-AI provider.

Encrypted transport

SCANIFY uses HTTPS to protect information while it moves between your browser or app and the service.

Purposeful permissions

The Android app requests camera access for scanning. It does not request microphone, location, or broad external-storage access.

Security has limits

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Do not treat SCANIFY as the only copy of an important document, protect access to your account and device, and delete scans you no longer need.

For the full disclosures, read the privacy notice. Report a suspected security or privacy issue through support without attaching private documents.

Keep control of your scans

Search, download, and delete documents from your private workspace.
