1. Information We Collect

To ensure proper functionality of the QR Scanner (scanning QR codes, barcode scanning, saving scans, etc.), we may request the following permissions and information:

• Camera Access
  Required to scan QR codes and barcodes. We do not take photos, record videos, or collect any camera data.

  Camera flash is used only to improve scanning in low light conditions. No data is collected.

  Used only when the user chooses to import an image from the gallery for QR code detection. We do not collect or upload any media files.

• Write External Storage (Android ≤ 12)
  Used to save QR code results or exported files. We do not modify or access unrelated files.

• Vibration Permission
  Used to provide haptic feedback after successful QR scan results. No data is collected.

  Used only for improving app performance.
