Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

QR Scanner | Built for Privacy ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your information.

2. Data Collection and Usage

QR Scanner | Built for Privacy operates entirely offline.

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect your name, email, phone number, location, or usage data.
• No Tracking: We do not use third-party analytics or tracking software to monitor your behavior within the app.
• Local Storage: All scanned data, history, notes, and categories are stored locally on your device using a secure Hive database. If you uninstall the app, this data is permanently deleted from your device.

3. Device Permissions

To function correctly, QR Scanner | Built for Privacy requires specific permissions. These are used strictly for the app's core functionality:

• Camera: Used strictly to scan QR codes and barcodes in real-time. Video or image data from the camera is processed instantly on your device's memory and is never saved, recorded, or transmitted to us or any third party.
• Photo Gallery / Storage: Used only if you explicitly select the "Scan from Gallery" feature. The app accesses only the specific image you select to detect a QR code. The image is processed locally and is not uploaded anywhere.

4. Third-Party Services

QR Scanner | Built for Privacy may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., when you scan a QR code containing a URL).

• URL Launcher: When you tap to open a link, the app uses your device's default browser or intended application. Once you leave the app, this Privacy Policy no longer applies, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites.

5. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends on the security of your device. We recommend keeping your device software updated and using device-level security features (such as a passcode or biometrics) to protect your locally stored data.

6. Children's Privacy

QR Scanner | Built for Privacy does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. As the app operates offline and collects no data, it is safe for users of all ages.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
