Scanner Plus ("Scanner Plus", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting information associated with your use of the Scanner Plus mobile and web application.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Scanner Plus, why it is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
By using Scanner Plus, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Scanner Plus is a QR code and barcode utility that allows users to:
Scan QR codes and supported barcodes using the device camera.
Scan QR codes from images selected from the device gallery.
Generate QR codes for URLs, text, phone numbers, email addresses, Wi-Fi information, contacts, locations, and other supported content.
Customize QR codes with colors, styles, backgrounds, and logos.
Save, download, copy, and share generated QR codes.
Keep a local history of scanned and generated QR codes.
Receive app-related push notifications.
View advertisements and optionally watch rewarded advertisements to unlock certain customization features.
Scanner Plus may be available on Android, iOS, and the web.
We do not require you to create an account in order to use the basic features of Scanner Plus.
However, some information may be collected automatically by the app or by services integrated into the app.
When you scan or create a QR code, the content may include information such as:
Website URLs
Text
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Wi-Fi information
Contact information
Location information
Other information entered by you
QR code content is intended to be processed locally on your device for scanning, generating, displaying, and saving QR codes.
Scanner Plus does not intentionally send the actual contents of your scanned QR codes to Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics.
If you choose to open a scanned link, send an email, make a phone call, share content, or use another external action, your device may send information to the third-party service you choose to use.
Those services operate under their own privacy policies.
Scanner Plus may request access to your device camera so that you can scan QR codes and barcodes.
Camera access is used only when required for scanning functionality.
Scanner Plus does not intentionally record or store camera video.
You may disable camera permission at any time through your device settings. However, camera-based QR scanning will not work without this permission.
Scanner Plus may allow you to select an image from your device in order to:
Scan a QR code contained in an image.
Add a logo or image to a generated QR code.
Save or export a generated QR code.
Where supported by the operating system, Scanner Plus uses the system photo or file picker so that you can select specific files.
We do not intentionally access photos or files that you have not selected.
Scanner Plus may store certain information locally on your device, such as:
Scan history
Generated QR history
App preferences
QR customization settings
Feature unlock state
Other basic application settings
This information generally remains on your device.
You may be able to remove history from within the app. Local application data can also normally be removed by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the application.
Scanner Plus uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the application and to improve features and performance.
Analytics information may include:
App launches
Screens or features used
QR scan events
QR generation events
Download or share actions
Advertisement interaction events
App version
Operating system information
Device-related information
General application usage information
Anonymous or pseudonymous app installation identifiers
We use this information to understand feature usage, diagnose issues, improve the user experience, and make better product decisions.
We do not intentionally include the actual text, URL, Wi-Fi password, contact information, or other contents of your QR codes in analytics events.
Scanner Plus uses Firebase Crashlytics to help identify crashes, technical errors, and stability problems.
Crash reports may include information such as:
App version
Device model
Operating system version
Crash stack traces
Technical logs
Application state
Anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers
Events or actions leading up to a crash
This information is used only to diagnose problems, improve stability, and improve the quality of Scanner Plus.
Scanner Plus uses Firebase Cloud Messaging ("FCM") to provide push notifications.
Notifications may include:
New feature announcements
App updates
Important service messages
Maintenance information
General Scanner Plus notifications
To deliver notifications, Firebase may generate a unique registration token associated with the installed instance of the app.
You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
Scanner Plus may use Firebase Remote Config or similar services to:
Determine whether a newer version of the app is available.
Display optional update messages.
Require an important application update.
Display maintenance notices.
Enable or disable certain app functionality.
This allows us to keep Scanner Plus secure, stable, and compatible with supported services.
Scanner Plus may display advertisements through Google AdMob or other Google advertising services.
These may include:
Banner advertisements
Rewarded advertisements
For example, Scanner Plus may allow you to voluntarily watch a rewarded advertisement in order to unlock QR customization features.
Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:
Advertising identifiers where permitted

Approximate location derived from technical information, where applicable
IP address
Advertising interactions
App information
Diagnostic information
Depending on your location, consent choices, device settings, and applicable law, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Where required by law, Scanner Plus may present a consent or privacy options message before using information for advertising purposes.
Depending on your region, you may be able to:
Consent to personalized advertising.
Choose non-personalized advertising where available.
Manage privacy choices.
Withdraw or change your consent.
You may also be able to change advertising privacy settings through your device or Google account.
Scanner Plus does not currently require users to provide:
A name
A Scanner Plus account
A password
A home address
Payment card details
Government identification
We also do not intentionally use QR code contents for advertising profiling.
If Scanner Plus introduces accounts, subscriptions, cloud storage, or other services in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated where required.
Scanner Plus may use third-party services including:
Google Firebase
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Firebase Remote Config
Google AdMob
Google Play Services
Apple platform services where applicable
These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

You should review the privacy policy of any external service before providing personal information to it.
QR codes may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
Scanner Plus only helps you read and display the information encoded in a QR code.
We do not control, verify, endorse, or guarantee the safety of every link contained in a QR code.
You should check a link before opening it, particularly when scanning QR codes from unknown sources.

Analytics, crash reports, notification-related information, and advertising data may be retained by the relevant service providers according to their applicable settings, retention periods, and privacy policies.
We aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell the contents of your QR codes.

Respond to lawful requests.
Protect our legal rights.
Prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats.

Some third-party providers used by Scanner Plus may operate servers or process information in countries different from the country in which you live.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information associated with Scanner Plus.
However, no application, electronic storage system, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You can remove locally stored Scanner Plus data by:
Deleting scan or generation history within the app where available.
Clearing Scanner Plus application data through your device settings.

We do not knowingly request children to provide personal information directly to us.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a way that requires deletion or other action, please contact us.
Additional age requirements may apply depending on the country in which a user lives.
