1. Information We Collect

   • The Application uses your device’s camera to scan QR codes and barcodes.

   • These scans are processed locally and optionally stored in your personal scan history.
     
     

2. Scan History
   
   

   • The Application automatically saves your scanned codes in history.
     
     

   • Free version: up to 10 records.
     
     

   • PRO version: unlimited history.
     
     

   • Data is stored securely in Firebase Firestore and linked only to your device.
     
     

3. User-Provided Data
