Privacy Policy
Who is responsible
Papyra is developed and published by Erdinç Coşgun, an independent developer based in İzmir, Türkiye. For privacy questions, use the support channel linked at the bottom of this page.
What Papyra collects
Nothing. Papyra does not collect personal data, document content, usage analytics, advertising identifiers, or diagnostic data. There is no account system and no document upload service.
Where documents are stored
Documents you import or create are stored in Papyra’s local app container on your device. They remain there until you delete them, remove the app, or choose to export/share a copy. Papyra does not transmit them to the developer or to a third party.
Files and iCloud Drive
When you choose a file, iOS gives Papyra access only to the file you selected. Papyra copies it into its local library. Files you open from iCloud Drive or another provider may first be downloaded by iOS. Papyra does not browse your file system beyond the selection you make.
Camera
Papyra requests camera access only when you choose Scan. The camera is used to capture document pages, which are processed on the device to create a PDF. Papyra does not record audio or video and does not upload camera images. You can import a PDF or photos instead if you prefer not to grant camera access.
Face ID and device passcode
If you enable App Lock, iOS asks for Face ID or your device passcode before opening Papyra. Authentication is handled by LocalAuthentication. Papyra never receives or stores biometric data.
On-device insights
On supported devices, Papyra can generate summaries, key points, and answers about a document using Apple’s on-device language model. Document text is processed on the device. Papyra does not send document text to a server. If the capability is unavailable, the feature is hidden.
OCR
Text recognition uses Apple’s Vision framework on the device. Recognized text may be stored in the app’s local session memory and used for search or a searchable export. It is not uploaded.
Website
This website is served by GitHub Pages. It does not use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts. GitHub may process standard server logs (such as IP address and user agent) as part of hosting; see GitHub’s privacy statement for details. Papyra does not receive or combine those logs with app data.
Retention and deletion
Documents stay in Papyra until you delete them. You can delete a single document from its context menu, or remove all documents and settings with Delete all data in Settings. Deleting the app removes its local container according to iOS behavior. Temporary export files are cleaned up automatically.
Children
Papyra is a general-purpose document tool and is not directed to children under 13. It does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Material changes will be reflected in the app or release notes where appropriate.
