1. General
The protection of your personal data is our top priority. “OnDevice OCR Pro” was developed according to the “privacy first” principle. This privacy policy explains the nature, scope, and purposes of the collection and use of personal data when using our application and visiting this website.
2. App: No data collection (“Zero Data Collection”)
Our app “OnDevice OCR Pro” does not collect, store, process, or transfer any personal data to us.
No servers: The app does not communicate with any external servers, neither ours nor those of third parties.
No tracking: We do not use any analysis tools (such as Google Analytics, Firebase, or similar).
Local processing: All documents (PDFs, images) are processed exclusively locally on your device
(on-device). Text recognition (OCR) is performed by Apple Vision Frameworks directly on your Mac.
3. Website hosting via Cloudflare
This website is hosted and delivered using services provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Cloudflare”). Cloudflare provides DNS, content delivery, security, and performance services for this website.
When you visit this website, technically necessary connection data may be processed by Cloudflare. This may include your IP address, the requested URL, date and time of the request, browser and device information, referrer information, and other technical metadata required to deliver and secure the website.
The purpose of this processing is to make the website available, improve loading speed, and protect the website against abuse and attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This connection data is processed only for as long as necessary for these purposes and is deleted thereafter.
Cloudflare may process data in countries outside the European Union, including the United States. Such international transfers are safeguarded by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, Cloudflare’s certification under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as set out in Cloudflare’s data processing terms. Further information is available in Cloudflare’s privacy policy and data processing terms: Cloudflare Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Data Processing Addendum.
4. No website analytics, accounts, or contact forms
We do not embed Google Analytics or similar analytics and tracking scripts on this website. We do not offer user accounts, newsletters, or contact forms on this website. Cloudflare may process technically necessary connection data as described above. To protect email addresses shown on this website from spam bots, Cloudflare automatically applies email address obfuscation, which inserts a small Cloudflare script whose sole purpose is to obscure those addresses; it does not track you or collect analytics. If you contact us by email, your message and email address will be processed only for the purpose of handling your request.
5. Access to files in the app
The app only accesses files that you explicitly load into the app via drag & drop or via the file selection dialog (“Open File”). These files never leave your device.
6. Disclosure to third parties
The app does not disclose your documents, OCR text, filenames, or usage data to third parties. For the website, Cloudflare processes technically necessary connection data as described above in order to deliver and protect the website.
7. Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to request access to, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and portability of your personal data. You may also have the right to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
