Privacy Policy of the «MeetScan» App

Last updated: 23 October 2026.
Developer: an individual distributing the app under the "Толстый кот" / Fat Cat Apps brand. Contact: info@fatcatss.ru.

1. In short

• MeetScan reads calendar events from screenshots and creates them in your phone's calendar. All recognition runs on your device: screenshots are never uploaded and are not stored after recognition.
• The app stays offline by default, apart from anonymous update checks and recommendations (section 3b) and anonymous launch statistics, which you can turn off (section 2). Cloud recognition of complex screenshots (section 3) and recognition with your own key (section 3c) are enabled manually by you.
• No ads and no trackers. Analytics is limited to anonymous launch statistics; the account is optional — the app works in full without signing in.

2. What data is processed

• Screenshots you take in the app: processed on the device to read text; the screenshot is not stored after recognition completes.
• Recognised events (title, date and time, location, attendees — whatever is recognised) are written to your phone's calendar only after your confirmation; from then on they belong to your calendar.
• App settings — on the device.
• Support requests — e-mail address and message content.
• Anonymous launch statistics. Each time the app starts, it sends the developer's server three impersonal fields: the app's name and version and the device's country (e.g. "RU"). The statistics contain and store no device or user identifiers, and no IP address is stored. You can turn the collection off (About → Anonymous statistics).
• Park announcements. At most three times a day the app anonymously requests short informational texts by Fat Cat Apps (e.g. news about the app park) from fatcatss.ru and may show one of them; the text language follows the app language. The request carries no data about you or your device, and shows are not counted; following a link inside an announcement (if any) happens only on your tap. Without network no announcements are shown and the app works in full.
• Account (optional). Sign in with e-mail and a one-time code (sent from our server in Russia) to use bonuses, enhanced recognition ("AI+") and a unified Fat Cat Apps profile. Without sign-in the app works in full; quotas are counted by a device identifier (hashed in logs). Other users' e-mails are not visible; delete the account in Settings.

3. Cloud recognition of complex screenshots (only when you enable it)

Settings contains a "AI recognition of complex screenshots" switch that is off by default. When it is enabled and you press the recognition button, a compressed screenshot of the calendar is sent to our server api.fatcatss.ru (Russia) and processed by the AI providers used by the developer: Z.AI (Zhipu AI) and Yandex AI Studio (Yandex LLC, Russia), each under its privacy policy; the order of use is set by our server's configuration and may change. According to the providers' documentation, the content is processed in real time and is not stored on their servers (Z.AI infrastructure in Singapore, Yandex in Russia). The screenshot is used solely to read the text, not for advertising, and is stored neither by our server nor by the providers. Z.AI processing is a cross-border transfer of personal data: by turning the switch on, you consent to such transfer. Each request carries a random device identifier (UUID) for the daily usage limit; in server logs it is stored as a hash. A daily call limit applies. Important: a calendar screenshot may contain other people's names and meetings — crop the screenshot so that third-party data stays out of the frame, or obtain their consent in advance. Turning the switch off returns the app fully to offline mode.

3b. Update checks and recommendations (anonymous requests)

No more than once a day the app anonymously requests a list of available updates from fatcatss.ru to let you know about new versions; download and installation happen only upon your explicit tap. Similarly, the app may periodically (at most once a day) request an anonymous list of recommended Fat Cat Apps from our website, without sending any data about you or your device; banner shows and taps are counted by impersonal counters (show/tap facts, no identifiers). These requests carry no data about you; the app works fully without network.

3c. Recognition with your own key (only when you enable it)

In Settings you can enable "Paid AI (your own key)" and enter an API key of the chosen provider (preset list in the app, e.g. Z.ai, OpenRouter, Qwen-VL, GigaChat). When enabled, a compressed screenshot is sent directly to that provider with your personal key, bypassing our server: we receive neither the screenshot nor the key. The key is stored only in the phone's encrypted storage. The provider processes the screenshot under its own privacy policy; the place of processing and terms depend on the chosen provider, whose policy is published on their website. The mode is enabled by a separate switch with separate consent; turning it off (or changing the provider) restores the previous mode. The shot may contain other people's names and meetings — crop the shot so that third-party data stays out of the frame, or obtain their consent in advance.

3d. VK Ads Network advertising module

The app has an advertising module of the VK Ads Network (MyTarget SDK, VK LLC). Ads are displayed only when ad units are connected; until they are connected, the module is inactive and no ad requests are sent. When showing ads, the SDK transmits technical data to the ad provider under its policy: the device advertising ID, IP address, device model, OS version, and placement. The user can disable the advertising identifier in the OS settings.

4. Storage and deletion

• Events live in your phone's calendar — manage them with your calendar app; the app keeps no copies.
• Screenshots and temporary recognition data are not stored; uninstalling the app removes the settings too.

5. Children

The app is not intended for persons under 12 and does not knowingly collect their data.

6. Your rights and contacts

Withdraw consent by turning the cloud recognition switch off in Settings. Questions and requests: info@fatcatss.ru; complaints — to Roskomnadzor or a court.
