Privacy Policy

Solvoj IMb Scanner for Android (com.solvoj.imb.android.app)
Published by the IMb Scanner development team · Last updated 11 September 2026

In short: Solvoj IMb Scanner does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. The app has no network access at all — it cannot send anything anywhere. Everything it does happens on your device.

What this policy covers

This policy covers the Solvoj IMb Scanner Android app distributed on Google Play (com.solvoj.imb.android.app) and nothing else. Separate web-based IMb tools published under the Solvoj name are not covered here and have their own terms; unlike this app, a web tool may receive files you upload to it.

What the app does

Solvoj IMb Scanner uses your device camera to read USPS Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMb) printed on mail. Camera frames are analysed on your device to decode the barcode, and the decoded result is shown to you.

Information we collect

None. We do not collect, store on our servers, or transmit any personal or device information. The app is not able to: it does not request the Android INTERNET permission, contains no networking code, and therefore cannot send data off your device.

Camera

The app needs camera access to read barcodes. Camera frames are processed in memory on your device, in real time, solely to detect and decode an Intelligent Mail Barcode. Frames are not uploaded, and the app does not save photographs of what the camera sees to your photo library.

Data stored on your device

Scan results, in-app notifications and your app preferences are stored locally using Android's standard app storage. This data never leaves your device, is not readable by other apps, and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data from Android Settings.

Permissions

PermissionWhy it is needed
android.permission.CAMERA To view and decode Intelligent Mail Barcodes. This is the only permission the app requests.

Advertising, analytics and tracking

Google Play provides us with aggregated, non-identifying statistics about the app itself — for example install counts and anonymised crash reports. These come from Google Play rather than from anything inside the app, we cannot use them to identify you, and they are governed by Google's own privacy policy.

Sharing with third parties

Because no data is collected, there is nothing to share, sell, or disclose. We do not sell or share personal information with anyone.

If you contact us for support

If you report a problem, we may ask you for a sample image of the mailpiece the app could not read, so we can reproduce the issue. Sending one is entirely voluntary and always your choice. Such an image may show a postal address, so please redact anything you would rather not share. Samples are used solely to diagnose the reported problem and are deleted once it is resolved; they are never sold, shared, or used for any other purpose.

Children's privacy

The app is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a revised "last updated" date. Material changes will also be reflected in the app's Google Play listing.
