PRIVACY POLICY QR & Barcode Scanner

Effective Date: September 24, 2026

============================================================

1. INTRODUCTION

============================================================

This Privacy Policy explains how QR & Barcode Scanner handles

information when you use the application.

QR & Barcode Scanner is designed as a simple, local-first Android

utility. The app does not require an account and is designed to

process QR codes, barcodes, selected images, QR generation, and scan

history on the user's device.

By using the application, you agree to the practices described in

this Privacy Policy.

============================================================

2. NO ACCOUNT OR SIGNUP

============================================================

QR & Barcode Scanner does not require:

- Account creation

- Login

- Signup

- Username

- Password

- Profile information

The app can be used without creating an account.

============================================================

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

============================================================

QR & Barcode Scanner does not intentionally collect or transmit

personal information to a server.

The app does not require users to provide:

- Name

- Email address

- Phone number

- Home address

- Account credentials

- Payment information

- Profile information

The app is designed without a cloud account or server-based user

profile.

============================================================

4. CAMERA ACCESS

============================================================

The app may request access to your device camera when you use the

"Scan QR & Barcode" tool.

Camera access is used only to:

- Display the camera preview

- Detect QR codes

- Detect supported barcodes

Camera access is not intended to be used to identify you or collect

personal information.

The app should request camera permission only when the user chooses

the live scanning feature.

If camera permission is denied, the live camera scanning feature

will not work until permission is granted.

============================================================

5. IMAGES AND PHOTO PICKER

============================================================

The "Scan From Image" tool allows you to select an image containing

a QR code or barcode.

Where supported by Android, the app uses the system photo picker so

that the user can choose an image without granting broad access to

the device's entire photo library.

Selected images are processed for QR/barcode detection.

The app is designed so that selected images are processed locally

on the device and are not uploaded to our servers.

The app does not require permanent access to your photo library for

the image scanning feature.

============================================================

6. QR CODE GENERATION

============================================================

The "Generate QR" tool allows you to enter text or a URL and create

a QR code.

The entered content is processed locally on the device for QR code

generation.

The app does not intentionally send the entered text or URL to a

remote server for QR generation.

============================================================

7. SCAN HISTORY

============================================================

The "Scan History" tool stores successful scan results locally on

your device.

Depending on the scan, locally stored information may include:

- QR/barcode format

- Decoded content

- Date and time of the scan

This history is intended to remain on the device and is not

synchronized with a cloud account.

You can delete individual history records or clear the complete

history from within the application.

============================================================

8. INTERNET AND SERVER COMMUNICATION

============================================================

The core functionality of QR & Barcode Scanner is designed to work

without an internet connection.

Core offline functionality includes:

- QR scanning

- Barcode scanning

- Scanning supported images

- QR code generation

- Viewing local scan history

- Copying scan results

The app is designed without a server or cloud backend for these

core functions.

If a scanned QR code contains a website URL and you choose the

"Open Link" action, Android may open that URL using an external

browser or another appropriate application.

Any communication that occurs after opening an external website is

between your device and that external service and is governed by

that service's own privacy policy.

============================================================

9. CLIPBOARD

============================================================

When you press the "Copy" button, the app may place the selected

scan result or generated content into the device clipboard.

Clipboard access is used to provide the copy function requested by

the user.

The app does not intentionally use the clipboard to collect personal

information.

============================================================

10. SHARING GENERATED QR CODES

============================================================

The "Share" feature uses Android's system sharing functionality.

When you choose to share a generated QR code, Android may display

available apps through the system share sheet.

Information shared through another application is subject to the

privacy policy and practices of that receiving application.

QR & Barcode Scanner does not control how another application

handles information you choose to share with it.

============================================================

11. DATA STORAGE

============================================================

The application may store limited information locally on your

device for features such as scan history and saved QR images.

Local data may remain on the device until:

- You delete it inside the application

- You clear the application data

- You uninstall the application

- Android removes or manages the relevant application data

The app does not provide cloud synchronization for scan history.

============================================================

12. DATA SHARING

============================================================

QR & Barcode Scanner does not intentionally sell, rent, or share

your scan history or QR/barcode results with third parties.

The app does not intentionally upload scanned content or selected

images to a remote server for processing.

If you explicitly use Android's "Share" function or choose to open

an external website, the information is handled by the selected

external application or website.

============================================================

13. ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS

============================================================

The app is designed without advertising and without unnecessary

analytics or tracking services.

No advertising profile is intentionally created by the app.

No analytics service is intentionally used to track your personal

activity.

============================================================

14. SECURITY

============================================================

We aim to keep the application simple and minimize the amount of

information it handles.

The app is designed to:

- Process scanning locally where possible

- Avoid unnecessary server communication

- Avoid unnecessary permissions

- Store only limited local history data

- Avoid requiring an online account

However, no software or device storage system can be guaranteed to

be completely secure in every circumstance.

Users should keep their Android device protected with the device

security features they consider appropriate.

============================================================

15. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

============================================================

QR & Barcode Scanner does not intentionally collect personal

information from children or other users.

Because the app does not require an account and is designed without

a personal-data collection system, users are not required to provide

personal information to use the core features.

Parents or guardians should supervise device and application use

according to their own circumstances.

============================================================

16. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

============================================================

The application does not require third-party online services for

its core scanning and QR generation functionality.

Android system components may be used for functions such as:

- Camera access

- Photo selection

- Opening links

- Sharing content

- Saving media

Those Android components and any external applications opened by

the user may have their own privacy practices.

============================================================

17. YOUR CHOICES

============================================================

You can:

- Deny camera permission

- Choose whether to select an image

- Choose whether to open a scanned URL

- Choose whether to copy scan content

- Choose whether to share generated QR images

- Delete individual scan history items

- Clear all scan history

You can also manage application permissions through Android device

settings.

============================================================

18. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

============================================================

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the application's features,

privacy practices, or applicable requirements change.

When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will replace the

previous version.

The effective date at the beginning of this document indicates the

latest revision date.
