Canny Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Canny is a document scanner that works entirely on your device. This policy is short because there is very little to say.

What we collect

Nothing. Canny has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party code. The app does not connect to any server run by us or by anyone else.

Your documents

Scanning, text recognition, image enhancement and search all run on your iPhone or iPad. Your scans are saved as ordinary PDF files in the place you choose in Settings:

• On This Device: the app’s own folder, protected by iOS file encryption.
• iCloud (App Only) or iCloud Drive: your own iCloud account. Apple stores and syncs these files under Apple’s privacy policy. We never receive them.

Deleting a scan in Canny deletes its file. Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device. Files in iCloud stay there until you delete them.

Camera and photos

Canny uses the camera only while you are scanning. When you import photos, you pick them with the system photo picker, so Canny sees only the photos you choose. Neither ever leaves your device through Canny.

Children

Canny collects no information from anyone, including children.

Changes

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