## What is Photo Privacy Scan?

Scour is not about storage or duplicates. It finds the photos that could hurt you if someone else saw them.

You screenshot a bank transfer. You photograph your passport for a form. You save a recovery phrase "just for a minute." You keep the Wi-Fi card from a rental, a boarding pass, a screenshot with an API key in it. Years later they are all still in your camera roll, and you have no idea which ones.

Scour reads every photo on your iPhone and shows you the ones holding something you would not want anyone else to see.

FREE
- Credit and debit card numbers: found, highlighted and deleted one by one, with no time limit.

WITH SCOUR PRO, PAID ONCE
- IBANs and bank details
- Passports and ID cards (by their machine-readable lines)
- Crypto recovery phrases and wallet addresses
- Wi-Fi passwords and two-factor setup codes in QR codes
- Boarding passes
- Live API keys and access tokens
- Photo groups: receipts and invoices, photos of cards, passport pages, cash and cheques, chequebooks, handwritten notes, envelopes
- Delete everything a scan found, or a whole group, in one step

IT CHECKS BEFORE IT ACCUSES
A photo is only flagged when what it holds actually validates. Card numbers pass the Luhn algorithm, IBANs mod-97, passports and ID cards their own check digits, recovery phrases the BIP-39 word list, wallet addresses their own checksum, keys the prefix their issuer publishes. A date or an order number will not be reported as a card.

Groups are different: they are what a photo looks like, not what it holds. Scour is confident there, not certain, so it counts them and you decide.

WHAT IT DOES NOT
Scour does not read passwords you typed, driver's licences, or the number printed on the front of an ID card. A free scan reports card numbers only, and says so: it never tells you a library is clean when other kinds were not shown.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Reading and matching happen entirely on this device. No photo, no thumbnail and no text found inside a photo is ever uploaded. Scour sends usage counts and whether Scour Pro is active, never what was found. Details are in the privacy policy. There is no account.

Deleting always goes through iOS: it asks before anything is removed, and deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

ONE PRICE, PAID ONCE
Scour Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. There is no subscription and nothing renews. If you had Scour before version 1.1.0, Scour Pro is included for you at no charge.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-16

Scour's App Store page now speaks eleven more languages. The app itself is still in English, and what it finds still never leaves your phone. One small change behind the scenes: we now see all purchases in one place.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-08

Small fixes under the hood. Nothing changes in how Scour scans your photos, and what it finds still never leaves your phone.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-08

Small fixes under the hood. Nothing changes in how Scour scans your photos, and what it finds still never leaves your phone.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-06

Scour is free to download now. Card numbers stay free; Scour Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription, adds IBANs, passports and ID cards, recovery phrases and wallet addresses, Wi-Fi and two-factor QR codes, boarding passes and API keys, plus groups of receipts, cards and passport pages you can clear in one step. If you had Scour before this update, Pro is already included for you. Your library is read once more, so older photos are checked too.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-16

Everything in Scour is now included. Deleting all the photos it finds in one step no longer needs a separate purchase.

Scour now finds ID cards too, by their machine-readable lines. It reads your library once more after this update, so the ones already in your photos are found.

Also:
• A card number written across two lines, like on a note, is found now.
• The highlight no longer covers the edges of what it marks.
• Clearer wording about exactly what Scour looks for.
