Privacy Policy

Effective date:

diSCan (“the App”) helps you scan, store, and manage vehicle license disc details and receive renewal reminders. Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

Camera input when you scan a license disc. The image is used to extract the disc details. We do not access your camera outside of scans you initiate.
Vehicle and disc details you save in the App, such as registration number, expiry date, and related notes.
Notification tokens to deliver reminder notifications to your device.
Optional account information if you sign in or choose cloud backup (e.g., name, email). If the App is used offline without sign-in, only on-device storage applies.

How We Use Your Information

To scan and extract license disc details you request.
To store your vehicle information and show it in the App.
To send reminder notifications 30 days before expiry (and additional reminders you configure).
To improve reliability and safety of the App (e.g., crash diagnostics, basic analytics if enabled).

On-Device Storage and Cloud

By default, data is stored locally on your device. If you choose to sign in or enable cloud backup/sync (when available), selected data may be stored on secure servers to provide backup and multi-device access. We will clearly indicate when a feature uses cloud storage.

Permissions

Camera: used only to scan license discs upon your action.
Notifications: used to deliver renewal reminders you opt into.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers (e.g., notification delivery or error reporting) strictly to operate the App. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use your data for their own purposes.

Retention

We keep your data for as long as you use the App or as required to provide the service. You can delete vehicles or all stored data from within the App. If you use cloud backup, you may request deletion by contacting us.

Your Choices

Manage or delete saved vehicles and disc details in the App.
Disable notifications at any time in system settings or the App’s settings.
Uninstalling the App removes on-device data. Cloud data, if enabled, can be deleted upon request.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we aim to keep your data safe and limit access to authorized personnel and processors only.

Children’s Privacy

diSCan is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided data, contact us to remove it.

International Users

If you use the App outside your country, your information may be processed in other jurisdictions with different data protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the effective date. Material changes may also be announced in-app.
