Privacy policy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
In short: your documents never leave your device. Copiste has no server, no account and no ads. We collect no personal data.
Your documents
The pages you scan or import, the recognized text and your document titles are stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. They are not sent to any server, ours or anyone else's. They are deleted if you delete the app.
A document only leaves your device when you share it yourself (“Share PDF”, “Copy” or “Share” the text), to the app of your choice.
Camera and photos
The camera is used only to scan your documents, when you ask. When importing, Copiste only accesses the images you pick. No photo is sent over the Internet.
Text recognition
On iPhone, text is recognized directly on the device, using Google's ML Kit library built into the app. Your images and the recognized text are never transmitted. As provided by Google, this library may however send anonymous technical information about its own operation (performance, device type, version), unrelated to your identity or to the content of your documents. ML Kit terms
Data kept on your device
Besides your documents, Copiste only keeps whether you have seen the tutorial and your language choice. This information never leaves your device.
Contacting us
In the app, the “Help and contact” menu opens this website's support page in your browser. This website is hosted by GitHub Pages: visiting it is subject to GitHub's privacy policy, as with any website.
If you email us, we use your address only to reply to you, and never share it with anyone.
Children
Since Copiste collects no personal data, it can be safely used by the whole family.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published on this page, with its update date.
