Privacy Policy
PikScan collects no data. Not at installation, not during app use. No information is sent to our servers — we simply do not have access to it. All your contacts, scans, notes, and events are stored exclusively on your phone or tablet, offline. You alone remain in control.
1. Our commitment: zero collection
PikScan is a 100% local application. Unlike many SaaS solutions, we operate no user database, no sync server, and no in-app analytics.
Throughout app use, PikScan does not collect, receive, store, or process any data about you or your contacts. No network connection is required to scan, qualify, or export your data.
Publisher contact (policy questions only): support@pikscan.com
2. Data stored on your device
The following information is saved locally only on your smartphone or tablet, under your responsibility:
- Information extracted from scanned business cards (name, company, email, phone, address, etc.)
- Trade show QR badge data (vCard, encoded contact details)
- Imported LinkedIn profiles
- Text notes and voice recordings
- Pipeline status, appointments, reminders, and sales visits
- Geolocation you choose to record
- Event metadata (trade shows, dates, ROI statistics)
- Captured card images, if you enable this option
This data never leaves your device through PikScan. You are the sole data controller under GDPR for contacts you collect from third parties.
3. What PikScan does not do
- No application servers — no cloud, no remote sync
- No telemetry — no analytics, tracking, or usage stats uploaded
- No user accounts — no sign-up, no profile hosted by PikScan
- No remote access — we cannot view, retrieve, or back up your data
- No data sales — we hold none
OCR, QR reading, and storage run entirely on your device. Export to CSV, JSON, vCard, ICS, or CRM occurs only when you initiate it, to a destination of your choice.
4. Subscriptions (Apple / Google only)
In-app purchases and Pro subscriptions are managed exclusively by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). PikScan receives no payment, identity, or billing data. Refer to Apple and Google privacy policies for those processing activities.
5. Voluntary email contact
If you write to support@pikscan.com, we receive only the information you choose to include (email address, message content). This is independent of the app and entirely voluntary. We use these exchanges solely to respond to your request.
6. pikscan.com website
The showcase website does not collect personal data via forms. Only theme preference (light/dark) may be stored in the browser via localStorage, without transmission to PikScan.
7. Your obligations as a professional user
When scanning business cards or badges, you collect third-party personal data. You must:
- inform data subjects when required by law;
- use this data for legitimate professional purposes;
- honor their rights (access, rectification, deletion) via your CRM or directly in PikScan.
8. Security and retention
Your data is protected by native device mechanisms (iOS/Android encryption). PikScan optionally offers biometric lock (Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint).
Data remains on your device until manual deletion (Settings → My data) or app uninstallation. PikScan holds no copy.
9. Your rights
For contacts stored in the app, you exercise all GDPR rights directly in PikScan: view, edit, export, and complete deletion, with no intermediary.
For questions about this policy: support@pikscan.com. You may lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (e.g. CNIL in France).
10. Changes
This policy may evolve to reflect Service improvements or regulatory requirements. The update date appears at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it regularly.
