Pagefold

Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

Pagefold is a document scanner for Android published by Anom LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Pagefold.

Your documents stay on your phone

• Scans, page images, PDFs and the text read from them are stored only in Pagefold's private storage on your device.
• Pagefold does not upload your documents to any server we operate, and we cannot see them.
• You don't need an account to use Pagefold.
• Your scans leave your phone only when you choose to save them to a location you pick (for example Downloads or Google Drive) or share them with another app.
• Scans are excluded from cloud backup. They can move to a new phone during a direct phone-to-phone transfer.

Scanning and text recognition by Google

Pagefold uses Google ML Kit, provided through Google Play services, to detect page edges and recognise text. This processing happens on your device.

For diagnostics and usage analytics, ML Kit may collect technical information such as device model and Android version, Pagefold's package name and version, a per-installation identifier, performance measurements, and settings such as image format and size. Google states that ML Kit encrypts this data in transit and does not transfer it to third parties. It does not include the content of your documents. See Google's ML Kit terms and privacy information: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/terms

Permissions

• Storage (Android 8 and 9 only): used only when you tap "Save images to gallery", to write page images into Pictures/Pagefold. Android 10 and newer need no storage permission.
• Camera: the camera is opened by Google's document scanner screen. Pagefold itself does not request the camera permission.

Deleting your data

Delete a scan inside Pagefold, or uninstall Pagefold to remove every scan it stored. Copies you saved or shared elsewhere are not affected.

Children

Pagefold is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
