Privacy Policy

Lodi helps you scan business cards with your camera or photo library, read text on your device, and turn it into contact fields you can edit.

Who We Are

Lodi, also referred to as Lodi Card Scanner, is a mobile application for capturing or importing images of business cards, extracting text, structuring contact details, and helping you save those contacts.

This policy describes how the publisher of Lodi collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the app and related services. Replace this publisher description with the final legal entity name before publication.

Information We Process

How Lodi Uses Information

Cloud Storage And Account Data

Lodi uses Supabase for authentication, database storage, and object storage. When you are signed in and save a contact, contact fields and associated card images may be uploaded to Supabase and stored under your account.

Card images may be retrieved through access-controlled URLs or signed URLs where supported by the storage layer. Access controls are designed to keep user data scoped to the authenticated account.

On-Device OCR And Optional Gemini

Lodi uses on-device text recognition, such as Google ML Kit, to extract text and layout signals from card images. The core OCR step is intended to run on your device.

If smart parsing with Google Gemini is enabled by a user-supplied key or a deployer-controlled build-time key, Lodi may send merged OCR text and, in some workflows, card imagery or image crops to Google for processing. Google processes that data under the terms and policies that apply to the Gemini API.

Legal Bases

Where privacy laws such as the GDPR apply, the legal bases for processing may include performance of a contract, your consent, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interests such as securing, maintaining, and improving the service. Ask qualified counsel to adapt this section to the final publisher, region, and product configuration.

Retention And Deletion

We keep account data, saved contacts, OCR text, and card images for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. If you delete contacts or request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize associated cloud data where required and technically feasible.

Backups, logs, and provider records may persist for a limited period after deletion according to operational, security, and provider retention practices.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including HTTPS in transit, authentication, backend access controls, and account-scoped data access. No system is perfectly secure, and you should review scanned contacts before relying on them.

Children

Lodi is not directed to children. Do not use Lodi if you are under the minimum age required to consent to digital services in your jurisdiction.

International Transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

Use the Contact / Waitlist page for privacy requests until a dedicated legal email is published.

We may update this policy as Lodi changes. Material updates will be reflected by changing the Last updated date and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice.
