PaperFix AI (“PaperFix,” “we,” “our”) is an iOS app that helps you
understand bills, letters, notices, screenshots, and PDFs by turning
them into plain-English summaries. This page explains what data the
app touches and how that data is handled.
What the app does with your documents
When you scan or upload a photo, screenshot, or PDF, PaperFix sends
the document — or the text we extract from it — to one or more
third-party AI providers (currently OpenAI) so it can be analyzed
and summarized. The provider returns a structured summary back to
the app.
We use these providers under their commercial APIs, where customer
data is not used to train their public models by default. We may
change providers over time; we'll update this page when we do.
Where saved results live
Saved summaries and the documents you analyze are stored
locally on your device using iOS's secure storage
(AsyncStorage). They are not synced to PaperFix's servers. If we
ever add an optional cloud sync, we'll update this page first and
ask you to opt in.
What we don't do
We do not sell user data.
We do not share your documents with advertisers.
We do not store the content of your scans on PaperFix-owned
servers in normal use. The only place a document or its extracted
text goes outside your phone is the AI provider for analysis.
What we collect
Document content — only at the moment of
analysis, and only sent to the AI provider that produces the
summary. We don't keep server-side copies for any other purpose.
Basic diagnostics — anonymous error reports if
we add a crash-reporting tool. We'll list it here when we do.
Subscription state — when payments are connected
through Apple's App Store, the App Store handles billing; we
receive only the entitlement (whether you have an active
subscription).
Heads up. Please don't upload documents you
consider highly sensitive unless you're comfortable with them
being processed by a third-party AI provider. If a document
involves legal, medical, tax, or financial matters that need
strict confidentiality, talk to a qualified professional instead.
Children
PaperFix is not directed to children under 13 and we do not
knowingly collect data from them.
