Boring Printer — Privacy Policy

No account · No server · No analytics

Last updated: 25 August 2026

Boring Printer prepares files that are already on your phone and hands them to Android's built-in print system. It has no backend. We do not collect, store or transmit your personal data, and there is no way for us to see what you print.

What the app stores, and where

Everything below is written to the app's own private storage on your device. None of it leaves the phone, and it is removed when you uninstall the app.

DataWhyHow long
Print history (title, source type, time) So you can reprint something with one tap Newest 200 entries; you can clear it any time, or switch it off in Settings
A copy of a document you chose Android's permission to read a picked file can expire before printing finishes Newest 40 documents; older copies are deleted automatically
Camera scans To build the PDF you are about to print Cache only; cleared by the app and by Android when space is needed
Your settings (theme, paper size, language…) To remember your preferences Until you change them or uninstall

Nothing here is transmitted anywhere. There is no cloud sync, no backup to our servers, no crash reporting SDK and no advertising SDK in the app.

Permissions and why they exist

  • Camera — only while you are on the Scan screen, to photograph the pages you are scanning. Images become a PDF on the device.
  • Internet — used for one feature only: loading a web page that you typed in, so it can be printed. The app never contacts a server of ours, because we do not run one.
  • Network state — to tell you a page could not load because the device is offline.
  • Storage (Android 9 and older only) — to save a scan as a PDF where you asked for it. Not requested on Android 10 and newer.

The app also asks Android which print services are installed, so it can tell you whether printing is set up. That is a list of app names on your own device; it is only read, never sent anywhere.

Third parties

When you print, the document is handed to the print service you chose — for example Mopria, HP, Epson, Canon or your manufacturer's plugin — through Android's print framework. From that point the document is handled by that service and your printer, under their own terms and privacy policies. Boring Printer is not involved in that step and cannot see it.

Web pages you open in the app are loaded directly from the site you entered, using the system WebView. Those sites see a normal browser request and may set their own cookies.

The app contains no analytics, no advertising and no tracking libraries.

Children

Boring Printer is a general-purpose utility. It does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Your control

  • Clear the print history from Settings, or turn history off entirely.
  • Revoke the camera permission in Android Settings at any time; only scanning stops working.
  • Uninstalling the app removes the history, cached documents and scans with it.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions or requests: ongorunet@gmail.com
