PRIVACY POLICY — QR & Barcode Scanner: Launcher


Effective date: November 13, 2025


Publisher: Golden Storm System






This Privacy Policy explains how Golden Storm System (“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 [aivisivi50@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.
