App: Docora — PDF Editor & Scanner · Developer: Hanson (phoenicx.org) · Last updated: 31 October 2026
Docora works on your device. Your documents, scans, signatures and recognised text stay on your phone or tablet. Docora has no account, no ads and no analytics of its own, and the developer does not receive any of your files or personal information.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera | To scan documents and photograph signatures. Images are processed on your device and are not uploaded. |
| Photos / files you pick | Only the photos or PDFs you select with the system picker are opened. Docora does not scan your storage. |
Docora uses Google ML Kit (document scanner, on-device text recognition, language identification and on-device translation), provided through Google Play services. Your images and text are processed on the device. ML Kit may send Google limited technical information to keep the features working and improve them: device model and Android version, app package name and version, a per-installation identifier (not used to identify you), performance and error information, and the size and format of processed images (not the images themselves), and for translation the pair of languages used and the detected language (never the text itself). This data is encrypted in transit and is not shared with third parties by Google, as described in Google's ML Kit data disclosure. Google's handling of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
Translation needs a language file for each language (about 30 MB each). Docora downloads one only when you ask for it, from Google's servers through ML Kit, and you can choose to download only on Wi-Fi. After that, translation works offline. You can delete downloaded languages at any time in Settings › Translation › Manage languages. Your text and documents are never sent to translate them.
None. Docora has no servers, accounts, advertising or tracking.
Docora is a general productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13.
Delete files inside the app, or uninstall Docora to remove everything in its private storage. Files you saved to other folders stay there until you delete them.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date.
