Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2024

Your Privacy Matters

At Qr Code Scanner, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our QR code scanner and generator services.

The short version: We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal data. All QR code processing happens locally in your browser.

1. Information We DON'T Collect

Qr Code Scanner is built with privacy at its core. Here's what we DON'T collect:

  • QR Code Data: We never see or store the content of QR codes you scan or generate
  • Personal Information: We don't collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers (except when you voluntarily contact us)
  • Location Data: We don't track your geographic location
  • Images: Images you upload for scanning are processed locally and never uploaded to our servers
  • WiFi Credentials: WiFi passwords entered for QR generation stay on your device
  • Browsing History: We don't track which URLs you visit from scanned QR codes

2. How Qr Code Scanner Works

Client-Side Processing

All QR code scanning and generation happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

  • Your data never leaves your device
  • No server communication for QR processing
  • Faster processing with enhanced privacy
  • Works offline (after initial page load)

Camera Access

When using our camera scanner:

  • Camera access requires your explicit permission
  • Video is processed in real-time locally
  • No images or video are recorded or transmitted
  • You can revoke camera access anytime through browser settings

3. Local Storage

Qr Code Scanner uses browser localStorage for the following purposes:

  • Scan History: Last 100 scans stored locally on your device
  • Theme Preference: Dark/light mode setting
  • User Preferences: Settings like default QR size

Important: This data is stored only on your device and never synced or transmitted anywhere. You can clear this data anytime through browser settings or our history management tools.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal technical cookies necessary for website functionality:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., session management)
  • No Analytics Cookies: We don't use Google Analytics or similar tracking services
  • No Advertising Cookies: We don't track you for advertising purposes
  • No Third-Party Cookies: We don't allow third-party tracking

5. Third-Party Services

CDN and Libraries

We use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to load JavaScript libraries:

  • Google Fonts (for typography)
  • jsDelivr (for QR code libraries)

These services may collect basic technical information like IP addresses for their operation, but they don't have access to your QR code data.

No Data Selling

We never sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties. Period.

6. Contact Form

When you use our contact form:

  • We collect only information you voluntarily provide (name, email, message)
  • This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry
  • We don't share this information with third parties
  • You can request deletion of your contact information anytime

7. Children's Privacy

Qr Code Scanner is suitable for users of all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we process everything client-side, children can use our service safely without providing personal information.

8. Data Security

We implement security best practices:

  • HTTPS: Encrypted connection for all traffic
  • No Server Storage: Your QR data never reaches our servers
  • Suspicious URL Detection: Built-in warnings for potentially malicious links
  • Regular Updates: We keep our libraries and dependencies updated

9. Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your data is stored locally; you can access it anytime
  • Delete: Clear scan history or browser data to remove all traces
  • Export: Use browser developer tools to export localStorage data
  • Opt-Out: Don't use features you're uncomfortable with

10. International Users

Qr Code Scanner is accessible worldwide. Since all processing happens on your device, your data doesn't cross borders. This website may be accessed from any country, and local data protection laws apply to how you store data on your device.

11. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be prominently announced.

Our Privacy Promise

We built Qr Code Scanner specifically to prioritize your privacy. In an era where many services harvest user data, we chose a different path: client-side processing means we literally cannot see your QR codes, and we like it that way.

Your trust is our most valuable asset, and we will never compromise your privacy for profit.
