1. Introduction
Sebastien Rousseau ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application "QR Code Scanner" (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Permissions and Data Collection
To function correctly, the App requires specific permissions on your device. Here is how we use them:
Camera: We require access to your camera to scan QR codes and barcodes. The video feed is processed locally on your device. We do not send your photos or video stream to a remote server for analysis, and we do not store them unless you explicitly choose to save a generated code to your gallery.
Photo Library: We request access to your photo library only if you want to save a QR code you have generated or if you want to scan a code from an image already stored on your device.
Tracking (App Tracking Transparency): With your permission, we may use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) to show you personalized advertisements. You can disable this tracking at any time in your iOS Settings.
3. Data Collected by Third Parties (Advertising & Analytics)
We use third-party services to monetize the App (via advertisements) and to improve its stability. These partners may collect identifiers (such as your IP address or Advertising ID) to provide their services.
Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial ads. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to show ads that are relevant to you.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Firebase: We may use Firebase to analyze crash reports and usage statistics (e.g., "App crashed on launch") to fix bugs. This data is anonymous and does not identify you personally.
4. Subscriptions and Payments
The App offers paid subscriptions. All financial transactions are handled directly by Apple via the App Store (In-App Purchases).
We do not process or store your credit card information.
Apple processes the transaction and sends us a receipt confirming the purchase so we can unlock the premium features.
5. How We Use Your Data
We use the limited data we collect solely for the following purposes:
To provide the scanning and generating features of the App.
To maintain your scan history locally on your device.
To display advertisements (which allow us to offer the free version).
To fix technical issues and bugs.
6. Data Retention
Scan History: Your scan history is stored locally on your device. If you delete the App, your history is permanently removed. We do not have a copy of your history on our servers.
7. GDPR and CCPA Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California:
Right to Opt-Out: You can opt-out of personalized ads via your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Tracking).
Right to Deletion: Since we do not require user accounts and store data locally, simply deleting the App removes your local data. For third-party ad data, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
