Publisher: Downroad Cafe

This Privacy Policy explains how Downroad Cafe (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information

when you use QR & Barcode Scanner: Launcher (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to this Policy.

If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

SUMMARY (quick read)

• We scan barcodes/QR codes on your device and show results locally.

• We do not read call audio or record calls. The optional “After-Call Summary” only detects when a call ends.

• The “App Launcher” lists apps installed on your device to help you launch them faster.

We do not transmit your installed-app list off your device.

• We use analytics, crash reports, and advertising SDKs (e.g., Google Firebase/Crashlytics/AdMob).

• You can clear history, disable features, or opt out of personalized ads at any time.

• Contact us at [moketamomota84@gmail.com] for privacy requests.

1) INFORMATION WE PROCESS

A. Scanning & History

• On-device processing of live camera frames to detect barcodes/QR codes.

• If you scan qr or barcode then “History” of scanned code value, time, and optional label may be saved on your device.

B. After-Call Summary (optional)

• Purpose: to show a small, user-visible screen after a phone call ends so you can add notes/reminders.

• Signals used: call state (ringing/active/ended), call start/end timestamps, and call duration.

• We do NOT access call audio, record calls, or transcribe speech.

• Phone numbers: by default, we do not upload or store phone numbers on our servers.

• You can turn this feature off at any time. When OFF, it will not collect or process call-state data.

C. App Launcher

• Purpose: quickly open your installed apps from within QR & Barcode Scanner: Launcher.

• Data used: list of installed applications and app icons (queried locally).

• We do NOT transmit your installed-app list or usage patterns to our servers.

D. Diagnostics & Analytics

• We collect app events (e.g., opens, feature taps), device information (model, OS version, language, country),

approximate location (derived from IP), and crash/bug reports to improve stability and features.

• Providers may include Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics.

• IP addresses may be processed transiently for security and anti-fraud.

E. Advertising & Identifiers

• We may show ads via Google AdMob or similar networks. These providers may process the Advertising ID (AAID),

coarse location, device characteristics, and app interactions to serve and measure ads.

• You can reset or limit ad personalization in Android Settings > Google > Ads (device options may vary).

2) PERMISSIONS WE REQUEST (Android)

• CAMERA — to scan barcodes and QR codes in real time.

• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — to send reminders or feature tips (Android 13+ asks you to allow first).

• FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC — to run the visible After-Call Summary screen or

short tasks that must finish reliably.

• READ_PHONE_STATE and/or READ_CALL_LOG (if used) — to detect when a call ends for the After-Call Summary.

We do not collect call audio.

• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES (or legacy storage) — if you import an image to scan from your gallery.

• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES (if used) — only to render your installed-app list for the App Launcher feature.

We do not transmit this list off your device.

You can decline any non-essential permission; certain features may be unavailable without it.

3) HOW WE USE INFORMATION

• Provide core features (scan, history, launcher, after-call summary)

• Maintain security, prevent abuse/fraud

• Fix bugs, analyze performance, develop new features

• Show and measure advertising (if applicable)

• Comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use

4) SHARING

• Service providers and SDK partners (analytics, crash reporting, ads) under contracts requiring appropriate safeguards.

• Legal compliance (e.g., responding to lawful requests).

• We do not sell your personal information. Personalized ads may be considered “selling” or “sharing” under

certain laws; where required, we will honor opt-out choices.

5) INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

• We may process data on servers outside your country. We use appropriate safeguards where required by law.

6) RETENTION

• On-device history and settings persist until you clear them or uninstall.

• Server logs/analytics are kept for the shortest time reasonably necessary for the purposes above.

7) YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES

• Access, correction, deletion, portability (where applicable).

• Opt out of personalized ads via device settings.

• Withdraw consent for optional features by turning them off and/or revoking permissions.

8) CHILDREN

• The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction).

If you believe a child provided information, contact us for deletion.

9) SECURITY

• We use technical and organizational measures to protect information. No system is 100% secure.

10) CHANGES

• We may update this Policy. We’ll change the “Effective date” and, when required, notify you in-app

or via other reasonable means.
