Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how QR Code Generator & Scanner ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the mobile application (the "Application").
Privacy Summary: QR code generation, scanning, and local history management are designed to operate on your device. QR code contents and locally stored QR records are not intentionally uploaded to our servers.
1. Device Permissions Used
The Application uses Android system permissions and services that are required for specific features. The permissions are used for the following purposes:
- Camera: Used to scan QR codes through the device camera. Camera frames are processed by the QR scanning component to identify QR code contents. The Application does not intentionally record or upload camera footage.
- Notifications: On supported Android versions, notification permission may be requested for optional notifications such as application updates, maintenance information, or feature announcements. You can manage notification access through Android settings.
- Internet: Used for services that require network access, including displaying advertisements, communicating with notification services, checking supported remote services, and opening web links when you choose to do so.
- Network State: Used to determine whether a network connection is available before network-dependent services are accessed.
- Vibration: Used for optional tactile feedback when supported actions, such as successful QR scanning or button interactions, occur.
2. Local Data Storage & Processing
The Application uses local Android storage mechanisms, including Room SQLite Database and SharedPreferences, to store information needed for application functionality.
- Generated and scanned QR code records.
- QR code titles and timestamps, where applicable.
- Favorite or bookmarked QR code records.
- Application preferences such as theme and language settings.
These records are stored within the Application's local storage on your Android device. You can manage or delete available records using the corresponding features within the Application.
3. QR Code Content
QR code data entered for generation or obtained through scanning is processed locally by the Application for its core QR-related features.
The Application does not intentionally upload QR code contents to a server operated by us. However, if you choose to share, open, or send generated content using another application or service, that third party may process the information according to its own privacy practices.
4. Third-Party Services
The Application may use third-party services and software development kits (SDKs) to provide advertising, notifications, application updates, and related functionality. These services may process technical or device-related information according to their respective privacy policies.
- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Used to display advertisements. Google may process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, IP address, diagnostics, and advertising interaction data depending on applicable settings and region. See Google's Privacy Policy .
- OneSignal: May be used to deliver application notifications. OneSignal may process information such as notification tokens, device information, and technical data required for notification delivery. See OneSignal's Privacy Policy .
- Google Play Services: May be used for Google Play-related application functionality, such as supported update or review features.
5. Children's Privacy
The Application is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through the Application.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the Application, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action where applicable.
6. Data Deletion & User Choices
- QR History: You can delete individual records or clear available QR history using the deletion controls provided in the Application.
- Application Data: Android system settings can be used to clear locally stored Application data. Uninstalling the Application also removes its locally stored application data, subject to Android system behavior.
- Camera Permission: You can grant or revoke camera access through Android settings.
- Notification Permission: You can manage notification access through Android settings on supported Android versions.
- Advertising Preferences: Depending on your device, account, and region, advertising preferences may be managed through the relevant Google or Android settings.
7. Data Security
Local QR records are stored using Android application storage mechanisms. The Application uses the Android application sandbox and standard platform mechanisms for handling local application data and file access.
No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should also consider the security settings and protections available on their Android device.
8. Sharing & External Applications
The Application may provide Android sharing or opening options for generated QR content or files. When you choose to share information with another application, website, or service, that third party handles the information according to its own terms and privacy policy.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the Application, services, or applicable requirements change. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
