Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 11, 2025

Welcome to QR Scanner Light ("the App"), developed by [Your Name/Company Name] ("We," "Us," or "Our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring you have a clear understanding of our practices.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use QR Scanner Light:

• Scan Data: When you scan QR codes, the content of the QR codes (e.g., URLs, text, contact details) is processed locally on your device. This data is stored in a local database on your device as part of the scan history feature unless you manually delete it.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App, such as the frequency of scans or navigation actions, through our integration with Google AdMob for advertising purposes.
• Device Information: Google AdMob may collect device-specific information (e.g., device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers) to serve personalized ads.
• Permissions: The App requests camera permission to scan QR codes. We do not access or store any images or videos beyond what is necessary for QR code scanning.

Note: We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or location unless it is explicitly embedded in a QR code you choose to scan, and even then, it remains stored locally on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide App Functionality: Scan data is processed to display results and maintain a history of your scans, which you can access within the App.
• To Display Ads: We use Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial ads. AdMob may use usage data and device information to personalize ads based on your interests.
• To Improve the App: Anonymized usage data helps us understand how the App is used and identify areas for improvement.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except as described below:

• Google AdMob: We share limited, anonymized data with Google AdMob to serve ads. This may include device identifiers and usage data. Please review Google’s Privacy Policy for more information on how they handle your data.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order.

4. Data Storage and Security

Scan data is stored locally on your device using Room, a secure Android database library. We do not transmit this data to our servers or any external cloud storage. Your data remains on your device unless you choose to share it (e.g., via the App’s share feature).

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the data stored on your device. However, no method of storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may process QR codes containing links to third-party websites or services (e.g., URLs, payment links). If you choose to follow these links, you will be directed outside the App, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

Additionally, ads served by Google AdMob may contain links to third-party advertisers. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for details.

6. Your Choices and Rights

You have control over your data within the App:

• Scan History: You can delete individual scan entries or clear your entire scan history at any time within the App’s Logs screen.
• Permissions: You can revoke camera permission via your device settings, though this will disable QR scanning functionality.
• Ad Personalization: You can opt out of personalized ads through your device’s advertising settings (e.g., “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android).
• Data Access: Since all data is stored locally, you can access it directly via the App’s interface.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you may have additional rights under GDPR or CCPA, such as the right to request data deletion. Since we do not store your data on our servers, deletion is managed by you on your device.

7. Children’s Privacy

QR Scanner Light is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
