Privacy Policy
QR Code Scanner Mobile App
Introduction
This Privacy Policy aims to inform how the QR Code Scanner app ("the App") collects, uses, and protects user data. We also recommend that you review our "Terms of Use" to understand the rules governing the use of our applications.
App Usage and Permissions
The app is designed to scan and generate QR codes and barcodes, allowing users to view scanned content, create customized codes, and manage their scan history. The app functions locally and offline, requiring no user registration or account creation.
- Camera Access: Camera permission is requested solely to detect and scan QR codes and barcodes in real time. We do not capture, record, store, or transmit any video feeds or camera images to external servers. All image processing occurs instantly and locally on your device.
- Images and Gallery: If you choose to scan a QR code from an image or save a generated code, this is handled locally on your device without uploading your photos or files to any server.
- Local Storage and History: All scan records, generated codes, and notes are saved exclusively on your device. No personal information or scan history is transmitted or stored externally, ensuring full privacy.
Information Collection
To monetize the app, we use AdMob, a Google advertising tool. This service may collect non-personally identifiable information, such as:
- Device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID);
- Technical information about the device and operating system;
- Usage data, such as interactions, impressions, and ad clicks.
The data collected by AdMob is used to personalize ads and enhance the user experience, in accordance with Google's policies and guidelines. For more details, we recommend reviewing the Google Privacy Policy.
Control and Access to Information
Although we do not collect personal data directly, you can manage the information collected by Google and control app permissions (such as camera access) at any time through your device's settings. Check Google's ad management options for more information on how to control advertising data.
Advertising and External Links
The app displays ads provided by AdMob and allows users to open links contained within scanned QR codes. By interacting with an ad or following a scanned link, you may be redirected to external websites or third-party services. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of these external sites and recommend that you review their privacy policies before providing any information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This policy may be updated periodically. We recommend reviewing it frequently to stay informed about any changes.
