Effective Date: November 14, 2025
Welcome to QR Code Reader & Barcode Scanner, a mobile application developed by JanoGroup LLC that helps users scan, create, and manage QR codes and barcodes.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and what choices you have. By downloading or using the app, you agree to the practices described below.
No Account Required: You can use the app without creating an account or signing in.
No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or exact location.
Support Communications: If you contact us (e.g., via email), we receive your contact information only to respond to your request.
Scanned Content: All scanning is processed locally on your device. We do not transmit or store scanned data on our servers.
Created QR Codes: QR codes you create (text, URLs, contacts, WiFi details, etc.) remain on your device.
Camera Access: Required for scanning. Camera input is processed in real-time and not saved unless you explicitly choose to save/share content.
Contact Access: Used only when importing/building contact QR codes. Data stays local and is never transmitted.
Location Data: Used exclusively for location-based QR codes. We do not collect or store your location.
Local App Data: Scan history, saved codes, and preferences are stored locally to improve user experience.
Sharing/Exports: If you export or share QR codes, sharing is handled through your device and governed by third-party app policies.
No Built-In Analytics: The app does not include in-app analytics, tracking, or telemetry.
Platform Diagnostics: Apple and Google may collect diagnostics or crash logs per their policies.
Future Updates: If optional analytics are added later, we will request consent where required.
We use information only to:
Process and display scanned content
Create and save QR codes
Respond to customer support inquiries
Maintain app functionality and comply with legal obligations
Platform Providers: Apple and Google may process limited technical data based on your device settings.
Map Services: Location QR codes may load map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Requests follow normal web protocols without PII.
External Links: Opening scanned URLs or sharing content relies on third-party apps/sites under their policies.
Contact Integration: Contact data is handled by native device APIs under the privacy settings of your device OS.
Local Storage Only: All app data remains on your device.
No Server Storage: JanoGroup LLC does not collect or store any of your QR codes or scans.
Your Controls: You may delete history, remove saved codes, or uninstall the app to erase all local data.
We rely on the secure environment of iOS and Android devices. All QR code processing is local. While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. Please keep your device protected.
This app is intended for general audiences and not directed toward children under 13 (or 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect data from minors. Contact us if you believe a minor has submitted data.
Permissions: You may manage camera, contact, location, and notification permissions in your device settings.
Data Deletion: Clear app history, remove saved codes, or uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data.
Support: Contact us if you need help with privacy-related issues.
Because all data is stored locally, JanoGroup LLC performs no international data transfers. Interactions with external services (e.g., opening URLs) are governed by those providers’ policies.
No Content Verification: QR codes can contain dangerous or misleading data. We do not verify or endorse scanned content.
User Responsibility: Always verify QR codes from unknown sources before acting on them.
Security Risks: Malicious QR codes may lead to phishing sites, malware, or harmful actions.
Not Professional Advice: The app provides utility features only; it is not security, legal, or professional guidance.
As-Is Basis: The app is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”
Limitation of Liability: JanoGroup LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data or harm caused by malicious QR codes.
Indemnity: You agree to hold JanoGroup LLC harmless from claims related to misuse of the app or QR codes.
Legal Exceptions: Some regions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be reflected by revising the “Effective Date.” Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
