Privacy Policy for QR Scanner

Effective Date: October 17, 2026

Dev Apps Studios ("we", "us", or "our") operates QR Scanner (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our App.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. QR Scanner is designed to let you scan and create QR codes and barcodes while keeping your personal data under your control.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

QR Scanner does not require you to create an account and does not ask you to provide personal information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Postal address
• Password
• Date of birth
• Government identification

We do not intentionally collect personal information through the App.

QR Codes and Barcode Content

When you scan a QR code or barcode, the App processes the scanned content to provide the appropriate functionality.

The scanned content may include:

• Website URLs
• Text
• Contact information
• Wi-Fi information
• Product/barcode information
• Other information encoded in the QR code or barcode

The App does not intentionally upload scanned QR or barcode content to our servers.

If you save scan history, generated QR codes, or related information, that information is stored locally on your device.

2. Camera Permission

QR Scanner requires access to your device's camera to scan QR codes and barcodes.

Camera access is used only for scanning.

We do not use the camera to:

• Record videos
• Take photographs without your action
• Monitor you
• Track your activities

Camera data used for scanning is processed by the App and is not intentionally transmitted to our servers.

3. Gallery / Photo Access

The App may allow you to select an image from your device's gallery to scan a QR code or barcode contained in that image.

Images selected by you are used only for the requested scanning operation.

We do not intentionally upload your selected images to our servers.

4. Creating QR Codes

The App allows you to create QR codes from information entered by you.

You may create QR codes containing information such as:

• URLs
• Text
• Wi-Fi information
• Contact information
• Other supported content

The information you enter is used to generate the QR code requested by you.

Generated QR codes and related history may be stored locally on your device when you choose to save them.

5. QR Code and Scan History

QR Scanner may provide a history feature that allows you to access previously scanned or created QR codes.

This information is stored locally on your device unless you explicitly export it or otherwise share it using a feature provided by your device.

You can use the available Clear History functionality to remove locally stored history.

6. Export and Import

The App may provide options to export and import QR code history in JSON format.

When you export data:

• The exported file is created on your device or through the device's file-sharing system.
• We do not automatically receive the exported file.
• You are responsible for where you save or share the exported file.

When you import data:

• The App processes the file selected by you.
• The file is used only for the requested import operation.

Please do not share exported files containing sensitive information with people or services you do not trust.

7. Opening URLs

When a scanned QR code contains a URL, QR Scanner may request the operating system to open that URL using an appropriate browser or application.

The App does not control the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites or applications.

Once you leave QR Scanner and open an external website or application, the privacy policy of that third party applies.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any website or service you visit.

8. Third-Party Services

QR Scanner may use third-party software libraries and platform services to provide functionality such as:

• QR and barcode scanning
• Image processing
• File handling
• URL launching
• Device functionality
• Application updates

These components may process technical information necessary for their operation according to their respective privacy policies.

We do not intentionally send your scanned QR content or locally stored QR history to third-party services unless required to perform a feature explicitly requested by you.

9. Analytics and Crash Information

The App may receive limited technical or diagnostic information through the Android operating system, Google Play services, or third-party components used by the App.

Depending on the services enabled in a particular version of the App, this information may include:

• Device model
• Android version
• Application version
• Basic technical information
• Crash or diagnostic information

Such information is used to maintain, troubleshoot, improve, and secure the App.

We do not intentionally use this information to identify you personally.

10. Advertising

If advertising is displayed in a version of QR Scanner, advertising providers may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies.

This may include information such as:

• Advertising identifiers
• Device information
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Ad interaction information

Advertising providers may use this information to provide, measure, and improve advertisements.

You can manage certain advertising and privacy controls through your Android device and Google account settings.

If the App does not display advertisements in a particular version, no advertising-related data is collected by us through the App.

11. Data Storage and Security

QR Scanner is designed to keep your QR-related information on your device.

We take reasonable measures to protect the App and its local data; however, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, including:

• Device lock/password
• Operating-system security
• Application permissions
• Backups and exported files

12. Data Sharing

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

We do not intentionally share your QR scan history or generated QR content with third parties for their own purposes.

Information may be processed by third-party services when technically necessary to provide a feature, operate the App, maintain security, diagnose problems, or comply with applicable law.

13. Children's Privacy

QR Scanner is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.

We do not intentionally collect personal information from children through the App.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

14. Your Choices

You can control the information handled by QR Scanner through the App and your device.

Depending on the available features, you can:

• Deny camera permission
• Deny photo/gallery permission
• Clear scan history
• Delete generated QR codes
• Choose whether to export information
• Choose whether to import information
• Choose which external applications open scanned URLs
• Uninstall the App to remove its locally stored application data

Some features may not work if the required permission is denied.

15. External Websites

The App may contain functionality that allows you to open websites or external services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policy of each external website or service that you visit.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, technology, legal requirements, or our practices.
