Scenelet is operated by Evgeny Ruban, an individual developer. This Privacy Policy explains what information Scenelet collects, how it is used, and how you can request access, correction, export, or deletion.
1. Who is responsible for your data
Developer / Data Controller: Evgeny Ruban, individual developer of Scenelet.
Privacy contact: privacy@scenelet.app
2. What Scenelet does
Scenelet helps you capture text from real scenes, screenshots, photos, signs, slides, or other everyday text, recognize the text with OCR, translate it, and save personal language-learning cards.
3. Information we collect
Local app content
Your phrase cards may include source text, translations, review state, tags, settings, and optional reference images. Scenelet is designed to work local-first. Local-only content remains on your device unless you choose a feature that sends it to Scenelet services, such as backup, sync, OCR, translation, or image upload.
Account information
You can use Scenelet as a guest. If you choose Apple or Google sign-in for backup or sync, we may receive provider identifiers and, depending on what the provider shares, your email address, display name, and profile image.
OCR, translation, and sync data
When you ask Scenelet to process or sync content, the app may send selected images, OCR text, translations, card metadata, language settings, and related media to Scenelet backend services so the requested feature can work.
Product analytics
Scenelet may collect first-party product events such as capture started, translation completed, card saved, review completed, sync completed, and account connected. These events are designed not to include your OCR text, translations, photos, phrase-card content, typed tags, email, display name, auth tokens, or raw sensitive errors.
Crash and diagnostics data
Scenelet may use Sentry or similar diagnostics tools to understand crashes and reliability issues. Diagnostics are configured to avoid user content and unnecessary personal data. Screenshots, view hierarchy attachments, network breadcrumbs, request bodies, user context, and extra payloads are not intentionally sent.
4. Information we do not collect for advertising
Scenelet does not use the Apple advertising identifier (IDFA), does not use advertising SDKs, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not sell your personal information.
5. How we use information
- To provide OCR, translation, phrase-card storage, backup, and sync.
- To authenticate guest, Apple, or Google sessions.
- To maintain security, prevent abuse, and debug service issues.
- To understand product health using privacy-limited analytics.
- To respond to support, privacy, and deletion requests.
6. Service providers
Scenelet may rely on infrastructure, authentication, OCR, translation, analytics, crash reporting, and App Store providers. These providers process information only as needed for the relevant feature or service. Current or expected providers may include Apple, Google, hosting providers, OCR providers, translation providers, Sentry, and App Store Connect.
7. Retention
Local-only content stays on your device until you delete it or delete the app. Synced account data is kept while your account is active. When you delete your account, Scenelet deletes or anonymizes associated personal data unless limited retention is required for security, abuse-prevention, operational, or legal reasons.
8. Your choices and rights
You may use Scenelet as a guest, avoid backup/sync, delete phrase cards in the app, delete your remote account in the app, or contact us to request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal data.
Privacy requests: privacy@scenelet.app
9. Children
Scenelet is designed so the core app can be used without creating an Apple or Google account. Scenelet is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental consent is required. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us and we will review the request.
10. International processing
Scenelet services and providers may process information in countries other than where you live. We use service providers and operational controls intended to protect information during that processing.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy as Scenelet changes. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
