2. Information We Collect
2.1 Camera access
The App requires access to Your Device’s camera to scan QR codes and barcodes. Camera images are processed in real time on Your Device to decode the code. We do not record, store or upload camera footage or the images captured while scanning.
2.2 Photos and images
If You choose to scan a code from an image, the App may request access to Your photo library. We only access the specific image You select. The image is processed on Your Device and is not uploaded to Our servers.
2.3 Scan results and history
The content of the codes You scan (such as URLs, text, contact details, Wi-Fi information or product barcodes) and any scan history or favorites are stored locally on Your Device. We do not collect or have access to this content. You can delete Your history at any time within the App, or by uninstalling the App.
2.4 Usage Data and diagnostics
We may automatically collect limited, non-identifying technical information, such as:
Device model and operating system version
App version and language settings
Crash reports and performance diagnostics
General feature usage (for example, which features are used most often)
2.5 Advertising and device identifiers
The App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners. These partners may collect and use device identifiers (such as the advertising ID) and approximate location derived from Your IP address to deliver and measure ads. You can reset or limit the use of Your advertising ID in Your Device settings.
2.6 Information We do not collect
We do not require You to create an account, and We do not knowingly collect Your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts or financial information through the App.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
Provide and maintain the scanning features of the App
Detect and fix bugs, crashes and performance issues
Understand how the App is used so We can improve it
Respond to Your support requests
Comply with legal obligations and protect the security of the App
4. Third-Party Services
The App may use third-party services that collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Google Play Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
These providers only receive the information needed to perform their services for Us.
5. Scanned Content and External Links
When You scan a code that contains a link, the App may show You the link or open it in Your browser or another app. Please be careful when opening links from unknown sources. Codes can lead to third-party websites that We do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites, and We recommend that You review their privacy policies.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell Your Personal Data. We may share limited information only:
With Service Providers who help Us operate, analyze or monetize the App, under obligations to protect that information
To comply with applicable laws, legal processes or valid requests from public authorities
To protect the rights, property or safety of Us, Our users or the public
In connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case We will notify You before Your data becomes subject to a different policy
With Your consent
7. Data Retention
Scan history and settings remain on Your Device until You delete them or uninstall the App. Diagnostic and analytics data held by Our Service Providers is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information. Because scan data is stored locally on Your Device, its security also depends on Your Device’s protections . No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so We cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Choices and Rights
Permissions: You can grant or revoke camera and photo access at any time in Your Device settings. Without camera access, the live scanning feature will not work.
Delete data: You can delete Your scan history within the App or by uninstalling it.
Advertising: You can reset or opt out of personalized ads through Your Device’s advertising settings.
Privacy rights: Depending on where You live (for example, the EEA, UK or California), You may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of Your Personal Data. Because We do not hold identifying information about You, in most cases We cannot link data to You, but You may contact Us with any request using the details below.
10. International Data Transfers
Our Service Providers may process data in countries other than Your own, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, We take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.
11. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from them. If You believe a child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us and We will take steps to delete it.
