The detail – the key information you should be aware of 

1. Information Scanly accesses and how we use it 

1.1 Camera 

Scanly requires access to your device camera to scan QR codes and barcodes. 

Camera access is used only to provide the scanning functionality. 

Images captured through the scanner are processed on your device for the purpose of detecting and reading QR codes and barcodes. 

Scanly does not upload camera images or scanned QR/barcode information to our servers. 

1.2 Images selected from your device 

Scanly allows you to select an image from your device for QR code or barcode scanning. 

Selected images are used only for the scanning operation and are processed on your device. 

Scanly does not upload your selected images to our servers. 

Images selected for scanning are not collected by us as part of a remote data collection system 

1.3 Scan results 

Scanly may process information contained in QR codes and barcodes, including information such as: 

Website URLs 

Text Phone numbers 

Email information 

SMS information 

Wi-Fi information 

Contact information 

Location information 

Barcode values 

Other information supported by the scanned code 

This information is processed on your device to display the scan result and provide available actions. 

Scanly does not send your scanned QR/barcode information to our servers. 

1.4 Local scan history 

If you enable the local history feature, Scanly stores basic scan information locally on your device using local device storage. 

This information may include information necessary to display your scan history, such as the scanned value, code type, title, date and time, and other basic history information used by the application. 

Your scan history is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to our servers. 

You can clear your local scan history using the history/settings functionality provided by Scanly. 

1.5 Generated QR codes and barcodes 

Scanly allows you to generate QR codes and supported barcodes for information such as URLs, text, Wi-Fi networks, and contact information. Generation is performed on your device. 

When you save a generated code, it is saved to your device according to the functionality provided by the application. 

Scanly does not upload generated codes or their underlying information to our servers. 

1.6 Information we do not collect

Scanly does not intentionally collect or transmit: 

Your scanned QR/barcode results 

Your camera images 

Images selected from your device for scanning 

Your scan history 

Your generated QR/barcode information 

Your contacts 

Your Wi-Fi credentials

Your phone numbers 

Your email or SMS QR information 

Your location information contained in scanned codes 

Scanly does not require you to create an account. Scanly does not contain advertising or third-party advertising trackers. 

2. How your information is stored 

Scanly is designed to process its core scanning and generation functionality locally on your device. 

If you enable scan history, basic history information is stored locally using the application's local storage system. 

We do not operate a server that receives or stores your scan results, scanned images, or scan history. 

Because this information is stored on your device, deleting Scanly or clearing its application data may remove locally stored information, subject to your device's operating system behavior and any files you separately saved to your device. 

3. How Scanly shares your information 

3.1 No sale or sharing of scan information 

Scanly does not sell, rent, or share your scanned information, scan history, selected images, or generated code information with third parties. We do not use your scan information for advertising, profiling, analytics, or targeted marketing. 

3.2 Sharing actions initiated by you 

Scanly may provide features that allow you to copy or share information. 

When you choose to use a sharing function, the information is passed to the application or service selected by you through your device's operating system. 

This sharing is initiated by you and is outside Scanly's control once the information has been transferred to the application or service you selected. 

For example, if you choose to share a generated QR code or scan result with another application, that application may process the information according to its own privacy policy. 

3.3 Links and external actions 

A scanned QR code may contain a website URL or other information that can be opened using another application on your device. 

If you choose to open a link or use an external application, that external service may collect or process information according to its own privacy policy. 

Scanly does not control the privacy practices of external websites or applications. 

4.Your rights and control over your information 

Because Scanly is designed to keep scan information on your device rather than on our servers, we generally do not hold a remote copy of your scan information. 

You can control information stored locally by using the features available in Scanly and on your device. 

You may: 

Disable local scan history through the application settings. 

Clear your stored scan history using the application's clear history feature. 

Delete saved generated files from your device. 

Remove Scanly from your device to remove application data, subject to your device's operating system behavior. 

Control camera permission through your Android device settings. 

If you contact us by email, we will receive the email address and information that you choose to include in your message. We use that information only to respond to your support request or enquiry. 

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact us at: 

suppurtminicore@gmail.com

5.Children 

Scanly is intended for users aged 13 and older. 

Scanly does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. 

Because Scanly's core functionality is designed to process scan information locally on the device and does not require an account, we do not intentionally collect personal information from users through the application. 

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through a support request, please contact us at: suppurtminicore@gmail.com 

We will review the request and take appropriate action where required.

6.Security 

We are committed to protecting the information handled by Scanly. 

Scanly's core scanning and QR/barcode generation functionality is designed to process information locally on your device rather than transmitting it to our servers. 

Local scan history is stored on your device. 

However, no method of electronic storage or device security can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and protecting access to information stored on it. 

We recommend using the security features provided by your Android device, such as a screen lock, password, PIN, or biometric protection. 

7.Changes to this Privacy Policy 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Scanly, our practices, or applicable legal requirements. 

Any changes will be made available through the Privacy Policy accessible from Scanly or through the location where this policy is published. 

We recommend checking this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates. 

The effective date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy indicates when the policy was last updated
