1. General
Thank you for using QR Code Scanner (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data while providing you with a secure and reliable experience.
This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to information collected through our QR Code Scanner mobile application (“the App”) and related communications, such as email or in-app messages.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the App.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide: We may collect details such as your email address and phone number when required for account-related features, customer support, or app functionality. You may also share your name or additional details when contacting us for support or feedback. This information is used strictly for app functionality and customer support and is never shared, sold, or rented to third parties.
Automatically Collected Information: When you use the App, we may collect device information such as model, operating system version, identifiers, and configuration details. We may also collect log data including IP address, date and time of use, crash reports, and error logs. For analytics, we use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand app usage and improve performance. Through Google AdMob, we collect anonymous advertising identifiers to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance.
3. Permissions Required
The App may request access to the camera, which is required to scan QR codes. On Android 10 and below, the App may request storage permission, which is required to save or share created QR codes. These permissions are used strictly for their intended purposes and not for collecting personal files or photos.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use collected information to provide and improve our services, enable account and app-related features, deliver relevant ads via AdMob, analyze usage patterns with Firebase Analytics, and resolve technical issues to improve app stability. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Data Security & Storage
We use industry-standard measures such as encrypted communication protocols to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Most data, such as QR codes you scan, is stored locally on your device and will be permanently erased if you uninstall the App.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, request deletion of your personal data (including email or phone number), and withdraw consent to data processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email provided below.

Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics) – https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or services.
8. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us for deletion.
9. Data Retention
Emails and phone numbers are retained only as long as necessary to provide app functionality or support. Automatically collected data such as logs and analytics may be retained for up to 30 days before automatic deletion.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy within the App. Significant updates may also be communicated via in-app notification or email if you have provided one.
