Entity Information

PocketPost™ is developed and operated by Ramesh Ramamurthy Manubolu (ABN: 59 229 147 740).

1. Local-Only Processing

PocketPost™ is designed with privacy-first principles. ALL document processing, including OCR, entity extraction, and storage, occurs entirely on your device. No data is transmitted to external servers, cloud services, or third parties.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your personal documents or their contents
• We do not collect extracted text or metadata from your documents
• We do not collect usage analytics or tracking data
• We do not require user accounts or personal information

3. Data Storage

All document data, including scanned images, extracted text, entity information, and personal info entries, is stored exclusively in your device's local storage. This data remains entirely under your control and is never transmitted outside your device.

4. On-Device Processing

All features including OCR, entity extraction (names, addresses, dates, etc.), document classification, and search are performed using on-device machine learning models. Your sensitive information never leaves your device.

Android Platform - Google ML Kit:

On Android devices, we use Google ML Kit for enhanced document text recognition and entity extraction. While ML Kit processes all data locally on your device, Google may collect limited technical and diagnostic data for improving their ML Kit service. This includes:

• Device model and operating system version
• ML Kit SDK version and feature usage
• App identifier and crash data

Important: The actual content of your documents (text, images, entities) is NOT collected by Google. Only technical diagnostics about the ML Kit SDK performance are collected. For more information about Google's ML Kit data collection, please visit: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/terms

iOS Platform - Apple Vision Framework:

On iOS devices, we use Apple's native Vision Framework for document processing. Apple does not collect any data from the Vision Framework usage.

Third-Party Services Disclaimer:

Third-party technologies (Google ML Kit, Apple Vision Framework, and others) are governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies, which may change without notice to us or you. We make no representations or warranties regarding third-party policies and expressly disclaim any liability arising from changes to such policies.

6. Data Security and User Responsibility

Your documents are protected by your device's built-in security features. However, PocketPost™ cannot guarantee absolute security as no system is completely secure. You acknowledge and accept the inherent security risks of storing sensitive documents on mobile devices. You are solely responsible for:

• Maintaining device security (passwords, biometrics, encryption)

• Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations applicable to your documents

7. Data Sharing
