Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the SignClear mobile application provided by Mikael Tenshio.

SignClear is designed as an offline signature cleaning and document-signing utility. Its core workflows do not require an account or developer-operated cloud storage.

SignClear includes tools for:

• Importing signature photos or images through Android system pickers and camera capture
• Cropping, straightening, cleaning backgrounds, refining edges, and adjusting signature appearance
• Saving local signature records, recent projects, exports, and optional local backups
• Placing signatures on image documents and PDF pages on the device

2. Local Files and Signature Data

SignClear processes selected files locally on your device. Local data may include:

• Imported signature images, camera captures, cleaned signature previews, and exported signature files
• Document images, PDF previews, overlay positions, page selections, and export records
• Signature names, project metadata, editor settings, appearance preferences, and backup summaries

Your files remain under your device and Android storage controls unless you choose to open, export, share, or back them up through platform tools.

3. Permissions Used

SignClear requests permissions only when needed for visible app features. Depending on your device and Android version, these may include:

• Camera access when you choose to capture a signature photo
• Photo or document picker access when you choose files from your device
• FileProvider sharing access so exported files can be opened or shared through Android

SignClear is designed without an internet permission for its local-first processing workflow.

4. Exports, Sharing, and Backups

When you export, open, share, or back up a file, Android or the app you choose for sharing may receive access to that selected output.

Local backup files are intended to help you move or restore SignClear-managed records. Keep backup files in a safe place because they may contain signature assets or project metadata.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Local SignClear data remains on your device until you remove it, clear app data, delete exports, delete backups, or uninstall the app.

Files saved outside app-managed storage may need to be deleted from the location where you exported or copied them.
