Privacy Policy

Welcome to QR Scanner ("the App," "we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our iOS application.

By downloading or using QR Scanner, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. About QR Scanner

  • Wi-Fi credentials
  • Email addresses

QR code scanning is performed locally on your device whenever possible.

2. Information We Collect

QR Scanner is designed to collect only the information necessary to provide its features.

Camera Permission

The App requests permission to access your device's camera to scan QR codes.

The camera is used only while you are actively scanning.

We do not record, store, or upload camera images or videos to our servers.

Photos Permission (Optional)

If you choose to scan a QR code from an existing image, the App may request access to your Photos library.

Only the image you select is processed.

We do not access or upload your photo library.

QR Scan Results

QR code content is processed only to display the decoded result.

Depending on the features you use, scan results may be:

  • Displayed on screen
  • Saved to local scan history (if enabled)
  • Copied to the clipboard
  • Shared by you
  • Opened in supported apps or websites

QR content is not uploaded to our servers.

Device Information

To improve compatibility and performance, the App may automatically collect anonymous technical information, including:

  • Device model

  • iOS version
  • App version
  • Language settings
  • Crash reports

This information does not personally identify you.

Analytics

If analytics services are enabled, anonymous information may be collected, including:

  • App usage
  • Features used
  • QR code types scanned
  • Session duration

The actual content of scanned QR codes is not collected through analytics.

Advertising

If advertisements are displayed, advertising providers such as Google AdMob may collect information including:

  • Advertising Identifier (IDFA), where permitted
  • Device information
  • Approximate location
  • Ad interaction data

These providers operate under their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Information

Information is used solely to:

  • Scan and decode QR codes

  • Diagnose technical issues

4. Local Processing

QR code scanning and decoding are performed locally on your device whenever possible.

Scanned information remains under your control.

We do not upload QR code content to our servers.

5. Scan History

If scan history is enabled, scanned results are stored only on your device.

You may delete scan history at any time through the App.

We do not maintain cloud backups of scan history.

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Anonymous technical information may be shared with trusted third-party providers including:

  • Apple
  • Firebase Analytics
  • Firebase Crashlytics
  • Google AdMob

These providers assist with diagnostics, analytics, and advertising.

7. Data Retention

Scan history remains stored locally until you choose to delete it.

Anonymous analytics information may be retained according to third-party provider policies.

8. Security

We implement commercially reasonable safeguards designed to help protect information processed by the App.

However, no electronic storage system or transmission method can guarantee complete security.

9. Children's Privacy

QR Scanner is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If such information is discovered, appropriate action will be taken.

10. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with:

  • Apple App Store
  • Google AdMob

  • Firebase Crashlytics

Each provider maintains its own privacy policy.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights including:

  • Access available personal information
  • Request deletion
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing

Since scan history remains stored locally, you maintain direct control over your information.

Anonymous technical information processed by third-party providers may be transferred internationally in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The updated version becomes effective immediately upon publication.
