Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 26, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how The QR Scanner (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our free online QR-code scanning service (the “Service”).
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that any information you entrust to us is handled securely and responsibly.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
The Service is designed to be completely anonymous; you can scan QR codes without providing any personal details.

2. How We Process Data

  • All uploaded images or camera feeds are processed in real time solely to decode QR codes.
  • Processing occurs locally in your browser whenever possible; any server-side operation is transient.
  • Images and scan results are immediately and permanently deleted after processing—they are never stored on our servers.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies to monitor your activities.
Our goal is to provide a tracking-free experience that respects your privacy.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not share your data with third parties, except for basic hosting and infrastructure providers who are contractually obligated to:

  • Keep your data confidential, and
  • Use it only to deliver the Service.

5. Security

  • All communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted via HTTPS.
  • While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete such information.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Revisions will be posted on this page with a new “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
