Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Gobaith Technologies (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use the AI Business Card Scanner mobile application (“App”). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide the App’s features.

Information you provide

• Business card images captured with your camera or selected from your gallery (processed on-device; see Section 2).
• Contact information extracted from cards or entered manually — names, job titles, companies, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, addresses, and custom fields.
• Your personal digital business card (“My Card”) and design preferences.
• Categories, notes, and follow-up reminders you create.

Automatically collected

• App settings and preferences.
• Basic, anonymous app usage statistics.
• Advertising identifiers used by advertising services (free plan only — see Section 6).

The App does not require you to create an account or sign in. We do not collect your name, email, or a profile from you to use the App.

2. On-Device Scanning

The App recognises and extracts information from business card images using on-device text recognition (Google ML Kit) that runs locally on your phone.

• Card images are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to our servers or to any third-party AI service.
• Scanning works offline — no internet connection is required to scan a card.
• A copy of each scanned image remains only on your device for your reference.
• Extracted results may not always be accurate — please review and edit the details before saving.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Scan and recognise business cards (on-device).
• Save and organise your contacts.
• Create and manage your digital business cards.
• Generate QR codes and vCards.
• Export contacts as CSV or PDF.
• Manage your subscription status.
• Send optional reminder notifications you choose to enable.
• Display advertisements to free users.
• Improve reliability, performance, and security.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Local Storage

By default, all of your data — contacts, scanned card images, My Cards, settings, and scan history — is stored locally on your device. It remains there until you delete it, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App. The App does not currently upload your contacts or card images to any cloud service.

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services only for the features noted:

• Google Play Billing — to process subscription purchases.
• RevenueCat — to manage and validate subscriptions. It receives a per-app user identifier and your purchase/subscription history only; it does not receive your contacts or card images.
• Google AdMob (free plan only) — to serve and measure ads.
• Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) — to request advertising consent where required.

Card scanning does not use any cloud or third-party AI service — it is performed on your device.

6. Advertising

Free users may see advertisements provided by Google AdMob. Advertising services may use an advertising identifier and limited device information to deliver and measure ads. Where required by law, we request your consent before showing personalised ads. Premium subscribers see no advertisements, and no advertising data is collected from them.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

Premium subscriptions are processed through Google Play Billing and managed by RevenueCat. We never receive or store your payment card information — only your subscription status, used to unlock premium features.

8. Permissions

• Camera — to scan business cards.
• Photos (gallery) — to import a card image you choose (via the system photo picker).
• Internet — for subscriptions and advertisements only (not for scanning, which is on-device).
• Notifications — for follow-up reminders you choose to enable.

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with the services listed in Section 5 that are necessary to provide App features, to comply with legal requirements, or to protect users and our services. Your contacts and card images are never shared.

10. Data Retention

Your data stays on your device until you delete it, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App. Because scanning is on-device and your data is local, we do not retain your contacts or card images on any server.

11. Data Security

Your data is stored within the App’s private storage on your device. For the limited network features (subscriptions, ads) we use encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

12. Your Rights

• Edit or delete any contact at any time.
• Delete all your data using the App’s “Clear All Contacts” option, or by uninstalling the App.
• Manage advertising consent.
• Request access to or deletion of your data (see Section 13).

13. Data Deletion

You can delete contacts directly within the App, or remove all local data by uninstalling the App. For any additional request, email us at mk021375@gmail.com with the subject “Request for Account Deletion.”

14. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect information from children.

15. International Data Transfers

The limited data handled by our third-party providers (Google Play Billing, RevenueCat, Google AdMob) may be processed on servers located outside your country, subject to those providers’ safeguards.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes become effective once the updated version is published with a revised “Last updated” date.
