I don't want any of my data or property stored outside my control. This is a real problem for security and NDA compliance.

This is the default behavior of the Adobe Scan app. All files created using Adobe Scan are automatically saved to Adobe Document Cloud for seamless backup and cross-device accessibility.

This ensures that users can securely access their scanned documents anytime, anywhere, and from any device, as long as they're signed in with the same Adobe ID.

Hope this information will help.

@Brian J. Baumgartner as per @Bernd Alheit that is one definetly way around it. Don't use it.

Another method is after scanning the PDF, delete it from your systems including Adobe Cloud too!
