Welcome to QR & Barcode Scanner ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the App depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:

If you contact us for customer support, we may collect your email address and communication details.

B. Derivative Data

Information our servers automatically collect when you access the App, such as your native actions that are integral to the App, as well as other interactions with the App and other users via server log files. This may include your IP address, operating system version, device manufacturer, device model, and user engagement metrics.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

A. By Law or to Protect Rights

If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

B. Third-Party Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data analysis, ad tracking, and performance monitoring. These services may include:

4. Advertising and Analytics

We may partner with third-party software development kits (SDKs) and advertising networks to display advertisements on the App. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or Apple IDFA), and other technologies to collect information about your use of the App and other websites and applications.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by navigating to your device's settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android, or "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS).

5. Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the App to help customize the App and improve your experience. When you access the App, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers and devices are set to accept cookies by default.

6. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. All scanned data and barcode/QR histories are strictly stored locally on your device in your app data environment, and are not accessible by us. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

7. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.

8. Your Privacy Rights
