1. Introduction
This privacy policy outlines how QR Reader & Generator handles the collection, use, and protection of user data. QR Reader & Generator is designed to scan QR codes and generate new ones based on user input. The app’s core functionalities, including QR code scanning and generation, require camera and storage permissions to operate effectively. This document aims to assure users that QR Reader & Generator respects their privacy and does not collect or upload personal information, photos, or QR codes to any external server. All information remains strictly on the user's device.
2. Camera and Storage Permissions
QR Reader & Generator requires access to the camera for QR code scanning and storage access to save generated QR codes. These permissions are strictly used to provide the intended functionality of the app. The camera is activated solely for the purpose of identifying QR codes, and the app does not record or store any video or photo data from the camera. Similarly, access to storage is used only to save QR codes generated by the user, allowing them to be stored locally on the device without being shared or uploaded.
3. Local Data Storage
All QR code scans, generated QR codes, and any related data are stored locally on the user's device. This ensures that the information remains private and accessible only to the user. The app does not have access to any user data beyond what is necessary for its core functions. Users can review, modify, or delete their stored QR codes directly from their device at any time without worrying about external data access.
4. Data Security
QR Reader & Generator prioritizes the security of user data. Although the app does not collect or transmit data to external sources, it ensures that all data stored locally is handled securely within the user's device. The app does not store sensitive information such as personal identity details, and the locally saved QR codes can only be accessed by the user. Any security measures related to the device’s storage and permissions are managed by the operating system of the user's device.
5. Non-Collection of Personal Data
QR Reader & Generator does not collect or process personal data such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. The app's functionality is limited to QR code scanning and generation, and it is designed to operate without requiring any personally identifiable information (PII) from users. Even though the app accesses the camera and storage, it does not use these permissions to collect personal details or transmit data outside the user’s device.
6. No Tracking or Profiling
QR Reader & Generator does not engage in any form of tracking, profiling, or behavioral analysis of its users. The app does not utilize any cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics software to monitor user behavior or gather usage statistics. User activities, including scanning and generating QR codes, remain entirely private and are not monitored or recorded in any way by external systems or the app itself.
7. User Control Over Data
Users retain full control over the data generated and saved by QR Reader & Generator. Any QR codes created or scanned using the app are stored locally on the user's device, and the user has the ability to delete or modify this data as needed. The app provides no mechanism for remote access to this data, ensuring that users have complete autonomy over their information without interference from external parties or the app developers.
8. Children’s Privacy
QR Reader & Generator does not intentionally target or collect data from children under the age of 13. Since the app does not collect personal information or store data externally, it is compliant with the privacy protection regulations regarding children’s privacy. However, parents or guardians are advised to supervise the use of the app by minors to ensure that it is used in a manner consistent with privacy and safety guidelines.
9. Updates to the Privacy Policy
This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in app functionality or privacy practices. Any modifications to the policy will be made with the intention of maintaining or enhancing the privacy and security of user data. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policy regularly to stay informed of any updates. However, the core principle that QR Reader & Generator does not collect or transmit any personal or sensitive information will remain unchanged.
