1. Introduction
Welcome to ScanWave ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ScanWave (the "App").
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App immediately.

We may collect the following types of information:
- Scan Data: Barcodes, QR codes, and product information that you choose to scan using the App.
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
- Usage Data: Information about how you use the App, including scan history, features accessed, and session duration.
- Advertising Data: We use Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers and advertising-related data to serve personalized ads.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the App's functionality.
- To display relevant advertisements through our advertising partners.
- To analyze usage patterns and improve the user experience.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.

4. Third-Party Services
The App may contain links to or integrate with third-party services, including but not limited to:
- Google AdMob: For displaying advertisements. Please review Google's Privacy Policy.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control the practices of these third parties.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your scan history and personal data are stored locally on your device. We do not transmit your scan data to external servers unless explicitly required for a feature you choose to use (such as product lookup).
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your scan history locally on your device until you choose to delete it. You can clear your scan history at any time through the App's settings. Advertising-related data is retained according to Google AdMob's data retention policies.
