QR Intelligence - Create & Scan QR ("we," "our," or "us") is an application designed to help you generate, scan, and manage QR codes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We prioritize your privacy and aim to minimize data collection. Most of the App's functionality processing happens locally on your device.
To provide core features, the App may request access to certain device permissions. We allow you to deny these permissions, though some features may become unavailable.
Camera: We use the camera to scan QR codes and barcodes. This processing is done in real-time on your device; we do not record or stream video to our servers.
Photo Gallery / Media Library: We access your photo library only when you strictly choose to:
Scan a QR code from an image stored on your device.
Save a generated QR code image to your gallery.
Location:
Fine Location: Used strictly when you choose to generate a "Geo/Location" QR code to automatically fill in your current coordinates.
Media Location: Used to read location metadata from images when scanning QR codes from your gallery, if applicable.
We do not track your location in the background or share your precise location with third parties for tracking purposes.
Contacts: We access your contacts only if you choose to generate a "vCard" or "MeCard" QR code from a contact in your address book. We do not upload your contact list to any server.
Microphone: May be requested by underlying camera libraries for video-based scanning features. We do not record audio for surveillance or marketing.
NFC: Used to read and write data to physical tags at the user's request.
We use third-party advertising services to support the App. These services may collect information about your device and app usage.
Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use:
Device Identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID on Android/iOS).
Approximate location data.
App usage data and diagnostic information.
Refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more details.
The App allows users to manually export scan data to third-party destinations via Webhooks, CSV files, and Email. By using these features, the user acknowledges that they are intentionally transmitting their local data to a destination of their choice. We do not monitor, store, or have access to data sent via user-configured Webhooks.
The App includes a "Sandbox Mode" for opening URLs. This mode is designed to isolate the browsing session from the device’s primary browser. No cookies, cache, or local storage are persisted after the session is closed. Web pages visited within the sandbox are subject to their own privacy policies.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Functionality: To scan QR codes, generate new codes, and save them to your history.
Improvement: To fix bugs and improve app performance.
Advertising: To show relevant ads that allow us to offer the App for free (or with a free tier).
Local Storage: Your scan history, created QR codes, and favorites are stored locally on your device using its secure storage mechanisms. You can delete this locally stored data at any time using the Delete button on the History screen.
No Cloud Sync: We do not currently maintain a cloud server to sync your history across devices. If you uninstall the App, your local history may be lost.
The App offers premium features via auto-renewing subscriptions. Payments are processed securely by the respective app stores, specifically using the Google Play Billing Library for Android transactions. We do not collect or store your credit card information or billing details.
The App may contain links to external websites (e.g., when you scan a URL QR code). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.
Third-party libraries used:
Google AdMob: Advertising.
Google Play Billing Library: In-app purchases.
Expo SDK: App Framework.
Vision Camera / ML Kit: Local Image Processing.
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.
We adhere to industry standards to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
