Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how our QR Code Scanner app handles your information and data, including the use of analytics tools to help us improve app performance.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data (Google Analytics / Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to collect anonymized usage and performance data. This helps us understand how users interact with the app so we can improve its features and stability. The information collected may include:

App usage data: Features used, screens visited, session duration, and frequency of use.
Device information: Device model, operating system version, and language settings.
Performance data: App crashes, response times, and error reports.
General location: Country or region level only (not precise GPS location).
Advertising ID: A resettable device identifier used for analytics purposes (not used for advertising).

Note: Google Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not use this data to personally identify you.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Your name, email address, or phone number.
The content of QR codes you scan.
Precise GPS location or location tracking.
Personally identifiable information of any kind.

How the App Works

All QR code scanning is performed locally on your device.
Scanned content is processed only within the app and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
The app does not require an internet connection to scan QR codes (except when you choose to visit URLs found in QR codes).

Permissions We Request

The app may request the following permissions solely for core functionality:

Camera Access: Required to scan QR codes using your device’s camera.
Storage Access: Only to save scanned results locally on your device, if you choose to do so.
Internet Access: Required for Google Analytics to send anonymized performance and usage data.

How We Use Collected Data

The analytics data collected through Google Analytics for Firebase is used solely to:

Monitor and improve app performance and stability.
Identify and fix crashes or bugs.

We do not sell, rent, or share your analytics data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Data Storage

All QR scan data is stored locally on your device only.
Analytics data is processed and stored by Google on their servers in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.
If you uninstall the app, all locally stored app data is removed from your device.

Summary

QR Code Scanner respects your privacy. Your scans stay entirely on your device and are never transmitted anywhere.
