Privacy Policy for QR Generator

Introduction

QR Generator ("the App") is a mobile application developed by AntoTech ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the App. The App allows users to generate and scan QR codes for various content types, including URLs, text, emails, contacts, locations, WiFi networks, events, and more. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

The App is designed to operate primarily offline, with most features functioning without requiring an internet connection. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on external servers. However, certain public libraries and monetization partners (AdMob) may involve standard third-party services that have their own privacy practices.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide (Processed Completely Offline)

* **User Inputs for QR Code Generation**: When generating QR codes, you may enter data such as URLs, text, email addresses, phone numbers, names, locations (coordinates), WiFi credentials, or event details. This data is processed locally on your device to render the QR code graphic and is not transmitted to us or stored beyond your active session.

* **Scanned QR Code Data**: When scanning QR codes using your device's camera, the App parses the content locally. This data is displayed on your screen and is not uploaded, saved, or shared with us.

* **Custom Designs and Templates**: You can save default design parameters and color templates. These templates are stored locally on your device using localStorage and remain entirely private.

2. Automatically Collected Information & Third-Party Integrations

* **No User Accounts or Logins**: The App does NOT require, request, or support user accounts, registration, logging in, or user profiles.

* **No Purchases or Subscriptions**: The App is a free application with ads. Consequently, we do not request, collect, or process any payment cards, billing details, bank accounts, or financial transactions.

* **Device and Usage Data**: The App may register local preferences such as language (English/Spanish) and active visual theme (light/dark) utilizing standard client-side storage mechanisms.

* **Ad-Related Data (Google AdMob)**: The App displays ads via Google's AdMob network. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID), IP addresses, general geolocation, and app interaction telemetry to serve contextually relevant advertisement models. For detailed guidance on their collection patterns, see Google's official privacy policies.

* **Location Searches (OpenStreetMap/Nominatim)**: If you utilize the manual map search to configure a location-based QR, coordinates are resolved via Nominatim queries. These queries are transient and are not archived by us.

iHow We Use Your Information

* **To Core Functionalities**: All inputs are utilized strictly on-device to paint QR codes or parse captured matrices.

* **For Advertising Services**: Google AdMob manages SDK parameters independently to serve advertisements.

* **To Local UI Enhancements**: Preserving active application states, favorites registries, and scanning history logs directly on local systems.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, lease, rent, or share personal information with third parties. Data exchange is limited to:

* **Google AdMob**: To serve functional developer ads.

* **OpenStreetMap**: Used directly when query actions trigger geographic tile fetches or coordinate lookup requests.

* **User Sharing Actions**: When you explicitly export or share a generated QR code image via third-party messengers or native sharing dialogs, you maintain full control of the transmission.

Data Security

All data processing occurs locally on your physical device, minimizing exposure to transmission breaches. Security of locally saved records remains dependent on your physical device protection. We recommend ensuring device encryption measures are active and avoiding printing sensitive financial details into standard readable QR codes.

Children's Privacy

The App is not designated for childrens under 13. We do not construct database registries or collect identifying metrics. If a parent detects that a minor has utilized local tools to input structural data, all local records can be flushed instantly by wiping application configurations or clearing device cache files.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. We will update the "Last Updated" timestamp featured at the header of this statement when any functional adjustments are deployed.
