Scanlog Privacy Policy
Scanlog collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and the app makes no network requests of its own.
Camera
Scanlog uses the camera only to read barcodes and QR codes while the scanner is open. Images and video are processed on your device and are never recorded, stored or transmitted.
Scan history
The decoded text of each scan, its barcode format and the time it was scanned are saved in a database on your device so you can search your history and export it. This data stays on your device. You can delete any scan, or clear the whole history, from the History tab. Removing the app deletes it all.
On iPhone, scanning uses Apple's built-in scanner by default. That is part of iOS; it runs on your device and sends nothing to Apple or to us. Scanlog receives only the decoded text.
Setup codes for two-factor authentication (otpauth://) are an exception: Scanlog shows the account details but never displays or saves the secret key.
Stock counts
Counts you create (their names, locations, the codes you scan into them, quantities, any expected quantities you paste in, and the item names you type) are stored in the same on-device database as your scan history. Nothing about a count leaves the device unless you export it yourself. Deleting a count removes its lines; removing the app deletes everything.
Spoken confirmations
While you are counting, Scanlog can speak the item and its new total. This uses the speech voices built into iOS and happens entirely on your device. Scanlog does not use the microphone and does not listen for anything.
Generated codes and Photos
Codes you create on the Create tab are drawn on your device from the text you type. If you tap Save to Photos, iOS asks for permission to add a photo; Scanlog uses that permission only to write the one image you asked for. It never reads, browses or uploads your photo library. Sharing a generated code instead hands the image to the iOS share sheet, and where it goes from there is your choice.
Exports
Exporting a history or count CSV writes a file and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where that file goes (Files, Mail, AirDrop, another app) is your choice, and anything that happens to it afterwards is governed by the service you send it to, not by Scanlog.
Opening links
When you tap an action on a scanned code (open a website, call a number, start an email, show a location), iOS hands it to the relevant app, such as Safari, Phone, Mail or Maps. Scanlog does not fetch the page or look anything up itself. Those apps and the sites you visit have their own privacy practices.
Data sharing and children
No data is collected, so none is sold, shared or used for tracking or advertising, and nothing is knowingly collected from children.
Changes
If a future version of Scanlog collects anything, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be described in the App Store release notes.
