Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026

Welcome to QR & Barcode Scanner Pro ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Android mobile application. Please read this policy carefully. By using the app, you agree to the practices described herein.

1. Information We Collect

QR & Barcode Scanner Pro is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our services:

• Scan Data: QR codes and barcodes you scan are processed on your device. Scan history is stored locally on your device unless you choose to sync or share it.
• Device Information: We may collect basic device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version for analytics and crash reporting.
• Usage Data: Anonymous usage statistics may be collected to understand feature usage and improve app performance.

2. Camera Permission

Our app requires access to your device's camera to scan QR codes and barcodes in real time. The camera is used exclusively for scanning purposes.

• Camera access is only active while you are using the scanner feature.
• We do not record, store, or transmit video or images from your camera to our servers.
• Camera frames are processed locally on your device for instant scan results.
• You may revoke camera permission at any time through your device settings, though this will disable the live scanning feature.

3. Storage Permission

Our app may request storage or media permissions to enable the following features:

• Scan from Gallery: To decode QR codes and barcodes from images saved on your device.
• Save Generated QR Codes: To save QR codes you create within the app to your device gallery.
• Export Scan History: To export your scan history if you choose to do so.

We only access files you explicitly select. We do not browse or upload your personal files, photos, or documents without your consent.

4. Data Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. We are committed to the following principles:

• Scan results and history are stored locally on your device by default.
• We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
• We do not use your scan data for advertising profiling.
• Security analysis (such as dangerous link detection) is performed with privacy-preserving methods.
• You can clear your scan history at any time from within the app settings.

5. Third-Party Services

Our app may integrate with third-party services to provide enhanced functionality. These may include:

• Google Play Services: For app distribution, in-app updates, and crash reporting.
• Google AdMob / Advertising Partners: For displaying advertisements (see Ads Policy below).
• Analytics Services: For anonymous app usage analytics to help us improve the user experience.
• URL Safety Services: For checking scanned URLs against known threat databases (only the URL string may be sent for analysis, not personal data).

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

6. Ads Policy

QR & Barcode Scanner Pro may display advertisements to support the free version of the app. Regarding ads:

• Ads are served through Google AdMob or similar advertising networks.
• Advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve relevant ads.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings (Google Settings > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization).
• A premium or ad-free version may be available through in-app purchase, if offered.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
