ScanPass Pro — privacy policy
Version 1.15. Last updated 4 November 2026.
Scanning is local. Sign-in, subscriptions and payments use online services. Copies you export or send to a supplier are managed at those destinations. We do not sell customer information or use it for targeted advertising. For access to or correction of your customer information: support@scanpasspro.com.
Who we are
ScanPass Pro is provided by Naftali Ravinov, 26 HaShoshanim St, Nof HaGalil, Israel. For any question about this policy, or to exercise any of the
rights described below, contact support@scanpasspro.com. We determine how customer and authorised-user information is used to operate the service and are responsible for that processing.
Cloudflare hosts the site and provides access checks and storage for customer, subscription and sign-in information. It receives technical connection information, such as an IP address, to deliver and protect the service. The scan itself does not send passport content to Cloudflare.
What the application does with passport data
When you open a passport image or PDF in the application, the image and its machine-readable zone are processed in your browser. You can review the result, copy it or export it to a file. Opening a document for scanning does not upload it to our server.
- Local recognition. Image decoding and OCR run on the device; the scan path does not upload passport content to our services.
- Copies outside the page. You can copy, export or save results. An installed companion extension may also receive a separate temporary copy, as explained below.
- Sign-in security. Cookies and temporary security records support sign-in and help prevent repeated sending or reuse of a sign-in link. Sent emails may remain with the email provider after a code expires; see Service providers below.
- Separate online services. Website delivery, sign-in and Paddle checkout involve their providers. No advertising or scan analytics are added to recognition.
- Offline use. Scanning can work offline after the required files and models have been loaded and cached. A first visit, missing files or a cleared cache can require a connection.
What is stored, and where
| What | Where it lives | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The passport image and the fields read from it | Your browser's memory only | Until you close or reload the page |
| The scanned-passenger list for the current session | Your browser's memory only | Until you close or reload the page |
| Application preferences — language, Excel columns, whether the scanner is enabled, recognition settings and optional debug switches | Your browser's local storage, on your machine | Until changed or site data is cleared |
| Remembered access to the passport-photo folder you selected | Your browser's site storage and permissions, on your machine. This is permission to use that folder, not a copy of its contents. | Until you clear this site's browser data or site permissions. Passport photo files in that folder remain under your control. |
| Files you export (Excel, photo) | Wherever your browser saves downloads, on your machine | Under your control entirely |
| Copied JSON, Excel rows and GDS | System clipboard and enabled history/sync | Until cleared or overwritten; a page reload does not clear them |
| Access/challenge cookies | scanpass_access / scanpass_challenge; signed sign-in data, including your email address when signing in by email; no passport fields | Email session: up to 365 days; shared password: 30 days; challenge: 15 minutes. Online entitlement is rechecked |
| Application cache | Browser storage for application files, recognition models and legal pages; no passenger records | Old versions are cleared when an application update activates; you can also clear site data |
| Temporary sign-in security records | Cloudflare: sending counts, email addresses and records of used links | Sending limits use 15-minute and 24-hour windows. Links have a separate expiry. Expired records are cleaned during later relevant activity and can remain longer without it |
| Subscription and billing-event records | Cloudflare: email, customer and subscription identifiers, status and event dates; no passenger content | Not automatically deleted when a subscription ends. Records used to prevent duplicate billing-event processing are eligible for cleanup after seven days, during later billing activity |
| Welcome-email record | Cloudflare: recipient email and time of the sending attempt | No automatic expiry; used to prevent repeated welcome emails |
| Computer sign-in records | Cloudflare: for each sign-in address, a random identifier per computer and the dates it was first and last seen; no network address, browser description or location | No automatic expiry while the address is on record; at most 50 computers per address, the least recently seen removed first |
The application's preference storage records settings, not passenger details. Remembering a selected folder does not upload its contents. Exported files and the extension's storage are separate, as explained below.
Photo and Excel files are saved only after your explicit action. Filenames can contain passenger details. Your folder or clipboard service may synchronise copies to your own cloud account. Paddle checkout has separate storage under its policy. Extension storage is separate from this site's data.
The browser extension
The optional ScanPass Pro extension fills details from a passport already scanned in the application into a supplier's booking or insurance form in another tab. This lets you transfer details already displayed in the application without retyping them.
- Passenger fields are held in the extension's browser session storage. They are cleared after 45 minutes without a new scan or Fill, and at the end of that browser session. Suspension may delay timed cleanup until the browser wakes. Reloading the application alone does not clear the extension.
- Saved form mappings remain until you delete them. They contain field locations, labels, names and website paths or matching rules. These can include booking or passenger identifiers, and a name may be suggested from the page title. Use generic names and check mappings and exported backups before saving or sharing them.
- Filling a chosen supplier page discloses the fields to that site and its scripts, which may read, store or transmit them before a manual Submit. The extension does not upload passenger data to ScanPass Pro. Clearing it does not erase supplier copies.
- The extension fills forms; the operator reviews and submits. It does not book, pay or confirm transactions. In one supported flow, guarded automation clicks the site's Add button to attach a scanned passenger to a list.
- Supplier-site permissions are optional and revocable in extension settings. A fill targets a selected, re-checked frame; ambiguous targets are refused.
The optional scanner bridge
The optional scanner helper transfers images to the browser through a local connection on the same computer. A network scanner may first send the image across your office network; a USB scanner uses its local driver. The helper does not upload scans to our cloud services. Check any image storage by your scanner, driver or operating system separately.
Data we collect about you
We use customer and authorised-user emails, customer/subscription/product identifiers, subscription status and event timestamps to provide access and administer billing. Paddle handles checkout and payments in its own role; our ledger does not store card details. Support messages contain your email address and whatever you send, including attachments. Providing information is voluntary, but the relevant sign-in, purchase or support service may be unavailable without it.
The table above describes local storage and temporary security records. Ending a subscription does not automatically delete customer or subscription records. We assess deletion requests against service needs, security and legal recordkeeping duties. Provider logs and backups can have different retention periods.
Do not send passport images or passenger details to support. Use descriptions and redacted or synthetic examples. If such information arrives unintentionally, we restrict its use and arrange appropriate deletion, subject to necessary legal preservation and provider/backup capabilities.
When one address has signed in on four or more computers, we receive an email notice so that we can check that the subscription is used by the people it covers.
Service providers
The local scan path does not provide passport content to these providers. They process customer, communication or technical information for these services:
- Paddle is the reseller and Merchant of Record. It handles checkout, payment, tax, invoices and subscriptions under its own policy. Customer and subscription events reach our access service.
- Cloudflare hosts the site, checks access and stores customer, subscription and sign-in records. It sends sign-in and welcome emails and routes incoming support messages. Copies of sent emails, including sign-in codes and links, are available in its dashboard for about seven days under the current email-preview setting. A code expiring does not delete the email copy.
- Google (Gmail) holds the support mailbox to which Cloudflare routes incoming messages. This is separate from Cloudflare's sign-in sender.
Our providers may process customer, communication and technical information outside Israel under their applicable terms and safeguards. Deletion from active storage does not necessarily remove copies immediately from security logs, backups or financial records that must be retained.
How we protect information
Connections to the site are encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in cookies are signed so that they cannot be altered, and sign-in codes and links expire. Customer and subscription records can be read only by us and by our hosting provider as described above. Passport recognition stays on your device, so passenger content is not stored on our servers. No system is completely secure; if you suspect a problem, write to support@scanpasspro.com.
Your rights
The local passenger list, files, clipboard and supplier copies are separate. Clearing the page or extension does not delete exports, clipboard history, synchronised folders or supplier records. Manage each copy at its destination. ScanPass Pro cannot erase a passenger file it does not receive.
For access to or correction of customer information, deletion requests or another applicable right, contact support@scanpasspro.com. We verify identity proportionately and respond within the time required by applicable law, explaining relevant retention exceptions or provider responsibility. You may contact the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority. Foreign-law rights depend on applicability.
We respond to privacy requests within 30 days, or sooner if applicable law requires. This is a response deadline, not a promise to erase every copy within that period. Accounting documents are retained for the period required by applicable law; that period does not automatically apply to support messages or technical records.
Your own obligations
The agency must ensure permission and a lawful basis for passenger processing, verify results, protect devices, exports, clipboard and supplier access, and set appropriate retention. Our product and customer-information obligations remain separate. Roles and responsibilities follow the actual processing and applicable law.
Children
The application is a business tool for travel professionals and is not directed at children. It can of course read a child's passport when an agent is booking a family — that data is handled exactly as described above, on the agent's machine.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the version number and date at the top of this page change with it. Material changes affecting how data is handled will be communicated to active subscribers before taking effect.
Language versions
This policy is published in English, Hebrew, Russian and Arabic.
The English version is the authoritative one. The Hebrew, Russian and Arabic versions are provided for convenience only; if they differ from the English, the English version governs. If you find a discrepancy
between them, write to support@scanpasspro.com before relying on the
passage in question, and we will correct it.
Cookies & storage
This section explains the cookies and browser storage used by ScanPass Pro. The items below apply according to the features you use. Passport recognition takes place on your device; account and payment services are handled separately.
- Sign-in: signed scanpass_access cookie, up to 365 days for email sign-in or 30 days for the shared-password route; scanpass_challenge, up to 15 minutes; scanpass_device, a random identifier for the computer you sign in on, for the same period as the sign-in. Online entitlement is checked separately. For email sign-in, these cookies include your email address. They contain no passport fields, and the device identifier describes neither you nor the computer. For each sign-in address we keep how many computers it has signed in on and when each was first and last seen, so that a subscription is used by the people it covers. We do not keep a network address, a browser description or a location.
- Preferences: language, export columns, scanner settings, locally recorded terms version and demo counter remain until changed or site data is cleared. Clearing the counter does not delete exported files.
- Offline use: the browser keeps application files and recognition models. It may also remember access to a folder you selected, without keeping a copy of that folder's files. You can manage site data and folder permissions separately in browser settings.
- Passport results are held temporarily in page memory. Refreshing does not remove downloads, clipboard history, synchronised folders or the extension's separate storage. The extension expires passenger data after 45 minutes without a new scan or Fill; suspension can delay cleanup.
- Payment: Paddle loads when you choose to open checkout. Paddle and its providers receive connection and transaction information and may use their own storage. Their retention and processing differ from the application's local storage.
- You can clear site data or block cookies in browser settings. This may sign you out, reset preferences or prevent payment and offline use. We do not add advertising or scan analytics to the recognition path.
