Privacy Policy – Folio Scanner

Effective date: 9 November 2026

Last updated: 9 November 2026

Language: English · Deutsch

This Privacy Policy describes how Team CodeX GmbH (“we”, “us”) processes information in connection with the Android application Folio Scanner (package name com.teamcodex.scanner) (the “App”).

1. Controller

Controller for the processing described in this policy:

Controller identity details (address, register court, HRB, contact email, managing director) are taken from the published Team CodeX GmbH Impressum / Datenschutzerklärung hosted on Cloudflare Pages at https://team-codex.pages.dev/impressum.html and https://team-codex.pages.dev/datenschutz.html (canonical targets on www.team-codex.com), matching the imprint used on the Trainer TCG Companion privacy page. Verified by read-only fetch on 9 November 2026 (Europe/Berlin).

2. What the App does

Folio Scanner is a free Android document scanner. Documents and scans are processed and stored only on your device. The App has no backend, creates no user accounts, and does not sync your documents to Team CodeX servers.

Optional features:

• Advertisements via Google AdMob (a top banner and an interstitial after every third scan), shown only after Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent where required (EEA/UK and other applicable jurisdictions).
• An optional auto-renewing monthly “remove ads” subscription (remove_ads_monthly) via Google Play Billing. Payment is handled by Google; we do not receive your card data.

All core App features remain free. Target audience: 13+; the App is not designed for children and does not target children.

3. Data we process

3.1 On-device documents and scans (local only)

Scanned images, OCR text, PDFs and related library data you create are stored locally on your device for App functionality. This data is not transmitted to Team CodeX GmbH servers, because the App has no document backend. Deleting the App or clearing App data removes this local data (subject to your device backup settings).

Legal basis (where GDPR applies): Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the service you request) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing local App features).

3.2 Camera permission

The App requests camera permission only for scanning documents. Camera frames are processed on-device for edge detection / OCR and are not uploaded to Team CodeX. You can deny or revoke the permission in Android settings; scanning features that need the camera will then be unavailable.

3.3 Advertising – Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)

If ads are enabled and consent / legitimate-interest signals permit under applicable law, the App shows AdMob ads (top banner and interstitial after every third scan) via the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Consent is collected where required via Google UMP (EEA/UK and other countries subject to GDPR as configured).

Google’s Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share, for advertising, analytics, and fraud-prevention purposes (subject to your consent / device settings): advertising ID, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, diagnostics, and related request data. See Google’s Play data disclosure for the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google’s privacy policy.

Sources: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure, https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Legal basis (where GDPR applies): Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) where consent is required; otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR only where permitted for strictly limited purposes such as fraud prevention / limited ads.

No separate first-party analytics SDK (for example Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics) is confirmed for this App. If one is added later, this policy and the Play Data safety form will be updated before shipping.

3.4 Purchases – Google Play Billing (optional monthly “Remove ads” subscription)

If you subscribe to the optional auto-renewing monthly “remove ads” plan (remove_ads_monthly), payment is processed by Google Play Billing. We do not receive your full payment card details. Google may provide purchase / entitlement status needed to unlock the ad-free experience.

Legal basis (where GDPR applies): Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract / requested subscription) and Art. 6(1)(c) where retention is legally required for accounting.

3.5 What we do not do (current App design)

• No Team CodeX user accounts or login
• No App-operated cloud sync or document backend
• No sale of personal data
• Not designed for children; target audience 13+
• No confirmed separate first-party analytics product (see §3.3)

4. Sharing

Documents and scans stay on device and are not shared by us. Advertising and billing SDKs share data with Google (and, for ads, Google’s advertising partners) as described above. We do not sell personal data.

5. International transfers

Google may process data in the United States and other countries. Where GDPR applies, Google relies on mechanisms such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Google’s documentation. Hosting of this privacy policy page on Cloudflare Pages may involve Cloudflare processing as described in the Team CodeX website Datenschutzerklärung.

6. Retention

• Local documents / scans: until you delete them, clear App data, or uninstall (device backups may retain copies outside our control).
• Ad / consent / SDK data: retained by Google per Google’s policies and your device / consent choices.
• Subscription / entitlement records: retained as needed to provide the subscription and meet legal accounting obligations.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law (including GDPR), you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. To exercise rights regarding data we control, contact yasin.yildiz@team-codex.com. For advertising ID / Google account / Play subscription data held by Google, use Google’s account and device controls, or contact Google as described in its privacy policy.

You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For Team CodeX GmbH this includes the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (as stated in the published Team CodeX Datenschutzerklärung).

8. Children

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not designed for children. We do not knowingly direct the App at children under 13.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App’s data practices change. The effective / last-updated date will be revised (current change date: 9 November 2026). Material changes should be reflected in the Play Store Data safety section before shipping.
