GNibox Scanner Privacy Policy

At GNi Design and Planning Technologies Ltd. ("GNi," "we," "us," or "our"), we built GNibox Scanner to capture room scans on your device and export them for use in GNibox. We designed the app to keep your scan data on your device unless you choose to share it.

1. What This App Does

GNibox Scanner uses Apple's RoomPlan technology and your device's camera and LiDAR sensor to create a 3D scan of a room. The app saves the scan on your device and lets you preview it and export a signed .gniscan bundle for import into GNibox Platform or other compatible tools.

Room scanning requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro running iOS 17 or later.

2. Information Processed on Your Device

When you use GNibox Scanner, the following information is created and stored locally on your device:

• 3D room models (USDZ format)
• Room structure data (JSON describing walls, openings, and dimensions)
• Wall photos captured during scanning, if you choose to include them
• Scan metadata such as the scan name and date you saved it

This data is stored in the app's private storage area on your device (under the app's Documents folder). We do not transmit this information to GNi or any third party automatically.

3. Device Permissions

GNibox Scanner requests access to the following device features:

• Camera and LiDAR: Required to scan rooms in 3D using Apple's RoomPlan framework. Camera input is processed on your device to build the room model. We do not stream or upload live camera footage.

You can revoke camera access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera on your device. Without camera access, the app cannot perform room scans.

4. How We Use Information

Because scan data stays on your device, GNi does not use your room scans for our own purposes unless you separately upload or import them into GNibox Platform or contact us with that data.

On your device, the app uses scan data only to:

• Display your list of recent scans
• Preview 3D models within the app
• Package and sign .gniscan export files when you choose to share them

Export files include a cryptographic signature (SHA-256 and HMAC) so recipients can verify file integrity. This processing happens entirely on your device.

5. Sharing and Export

When you tap Share, the app creates a .gniscan file and opens the standard iOS share sheet. You choose where the file goes — for example, AirDrop, Mail, Messages, iCloud Drive, or another app.

Once you share a scan:

• The recipient or service you send it to may store, process, or use the file according to their own policies.
• If you import the scan into GNibox Platform, our handling of that data is described in our Platform Privacy Policy.

We do not control how third-party apps or services handle files you choose to share with them.

6. Information We Do Not Collect

Through the GNibox Scanner app, we do not:

• Require you to create an account or provide contact information
• Collect your name, email address, or phone number
• Upload scans or photos to GNi servers
• Use third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services
• Track your location using GPS
• Sell your personal information

7. Apple Services and Third Parties

GNibox Scanner relies on Apple system frameworks, including RoomPlan, ARKit, and CryptoKit. These frameworks run on your device as part of iOS. Apple's handling of data through its operating system and services is governed by Apple's privacy policies.

The app includes a link to our website (gnibox.com). If you open that link, your browser or Safari may share standard web connection data with our website as described in our Website Privacy Policy.

Distribution of the app through the App Store is subject to Apple's terms and privacy practices.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Scans remain on your device until you delete them. You can remove individual scans from the Recent Scans list in the app, or delete all app data by removing GNibox Scanner from your device.

Uninstalling the app permanently deletes locally stored scans unless you have exported copies elsewhere.

We do not retain copies of your scans on our servers through the app itself.

9. Data Security

Scan data is protected by your device's operating system, including device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID if you use them. Exported .gniscan files include integrity signatures to help detect tampering after export.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for choosing trusted destinations when sharing export files.

10. Children's Privacy

GNibox Scanner is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Because we do not collect personal information through the app, most data-related requests can be handled directly on your device:

• Access: View saved scans in the app at any time
• Deletion: Delete scans in the app or uninstall the app
• Sharing: You control whether and how scan files are shared
• Permissions: Manage camera access in iOS Settings

Depending on your location, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. To exercise them, contact us using the details below.

12. International Users

GNibox Scanner is developed by GNi Design and Planning Technologies Ltd. Because the app does not send scan data to our servers, cross-border data transfers by GNi through the app itself generally do not occur unless you separately submit data to our platform or contact us.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or applicable laws. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be noted in App Store release notes.

Your continued use of GNibox Scanner after an update means you accept the revised policy.

15. Jurisdiction-Specific Information

For European Union Users (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Because GNibox Scanner does not collect personal data on our servers, many GDPR requests relate to data you control on your device or data you separately submit to GNibox Platform.

For California Residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information, and the app does not collect personal information for our own use. If you import scan data into GNibox Platform, the Platform Privacy Policy applies to that data.

GNibox Scanner is designed to keep your room scans on your device until you decide to share them.
