Do I Need a Google Account to Use ScanCardPro?

Short answer: yes. ScanCardPro uses your Google account to sign you in. If you have a Gmail address or any Google Workspace account, you are ready to go.

Why a Google account is required

ScanCardPro signs you in with Google so you do not need a separate username and password. You can start scanning as soon as you are signed in.

What you own

• The spreadsheet is created in your Google Drive, under your account.
• You can view and edit it any time, with or without ScanCardPro.
• If you ever stop using ScanCardPro, your contacts remain in your sheet.

What ScanCardPro can and cannot access

We only work with the spreadsheet we create for your contacts. ScanCardPro does not read your email, your other Drive files, or your calendar. The Google permission you grant is scoped to Sheets so we can keep your contact list in sync — nothing more.

Personal Gmail vs. Google Workspace

Both work exactly the same way. A free personal Gmail account is perfectly fine. If your company uses Google Workspace, ScanCardPro will store your contact sheet in your work Drive instead — handy if you want contacts kept inside your organization.

What if my company uses Microsoft, not Google?

You can still use ScanCardPro — you sign in with a Google account (a free Gmail address is fine). Exporting contacts to Outlook, a CRM, or Mailchimp is straightforward.

Is my data safe?

Your contacts sit in your own Google account, protected by Google's security and your own login. ScanCardPro connects over an encrypted connection and only accesses the contact sheet. You can review or revoke ScanCardPro's access at any time from your Google account's security settings.
