Privacy Policy for Papra Mobile
Effective date: April 2, 2026
Papra Mobile ("the app") is provided by Papra Mobile ("we", "us", or "our").
Papra Mobile is an unofficial iOS client for Papra. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles, how it is used, and what choices you have.
1. Summary
Papra Mobile is designed to help you connect to a Papra server, sign in, upload and manage documents, and use iOS features such as the Share Sheet, document scanning, photo selection, and Shortcuts.
We do not use advertising SDKs, do not sell personal information, and do not use the app for cross-app tracking.
Because Papra Mobile connects to a Papra server chosen by you, documents and account data managed through the app may also be processed and stored by that Papra server and, if applicable, its operator. That server's privacy practices are separate from this app's on-device behavior.
2. Information the App Handles
Depending on how you use the app, Papra Mobile may handle the following information:
Information you enter or configure
- Papra server URL
- selected organization or workspace
- optional custom headers
- backup API key
- sign-in email address
- session state such as your signed-in name and email address
Content you choose to upload or manage
- documents and files you upload
- files shared from other apps through the iOS Share Sheet
- photos you explicitly choose for upload
- scanned documents created using the camera scanner
- tags, metadata, document names, and related edits
- search queries used inside the app to find documents
Authentication data
- session cookies and related login state used to keep you signed in
- data returned by supported sign-in providers if you choose to sign in with them
Temporary local files
- temporary copies of scanned files, selected files, previews, and downloads created to support upload, preview, sharing, or export features
3. How the App Uses Information
Papra Mobile uses information only to provide app functionality, including to:
- connect to the Papra server you configure
- authenticate your session
- upload, download, preview, search, tag, rename, delete, restore, and organize documents
- support Share Sheet uploads and Shortcuts
- remember app settings and your selected organization
- support document scanning and photo-based uploads
4. Where Information Goes
Papra Mobile may transmit data to:
- the Papra server you configure in the app
- supported identity providers, if you choose to sign in with them
- Apple's iOS frameworks when you use system features such as the photo picker, camera-based document scanner, Share Sheet, or Shortcuts
We do not sell your information to third parties. We do not use third-party advertising SDKs. We do not intentionally track you across other companies' apps or websites.
5. On-Device Storage
Papra Mobile stores some information locally on your device so the app can work properly. This may include:
- your configured server URL
- selected organization
- optional custom headers

- queued files for Shortcuts or Share Sheet uploads
- temporary files used for previews, scans, uploads, or downloads
