QR Create&Scan Privacy Policy

Welcome to QR Create&Scan, a reliable QR code scanning tool. This Privacy Policy is designed to clearly explain how we collect, use, protect, and disclose your information, as well as the choices you have regarding your data. By using our services, you consent to the practices outlined herein.

About QR Create&Scan

The core purpose of the QR Create&Scan app is to provide users with a convenient QR code scanning service anytime, anywhere. Currently, the app is only available on the Android platform and may require access to specific features of your device—details of these features are clearly outlined in this policy.

Information We Collect

To clearly explain the scope of our information collection, the following details the information we collect, the circumstances in which it is collected, and how it is used, categorized as "Required Information Collection" and "Optional Information Collection":

Required Information Collection

This type of information is essential for the normal operation of the app's core features. If you refuse to provide it, the corresponding features will not be available:

Camera Permission Data: When you use the QR code scanning feature, we will request your camera permission for the sole purpose of identifying and scanning QR codes or barcodes—this is a necessary prerequisite for the scanning feature. If you deny this permission, the QR code scanning feature will not function properly.

Device Information: We collect basic information about your device, including but not limited to device model, operating system version, and device identifiers (such as IMEI, Android ID, IDFA, IDFV, etc.; the specific identifier types obtained vary depending on the operating system). This information is collected to identify your device, ensure stable app operation, perform security maintenance, and conduct statistical analysis (for example, understanding app performance on different devices to optimize the service experience).

Log Data: If an app error occurs while using our services, we will collect relevant data and information on your device through third-party products ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, device name, operating system version, application configuration when using the service, the time and date of service usage, and other necessary statistical data. It is used only for troubleshooting and optimizing app stability.

Cookies: Cookies are files containing a small amount of data, typically used as an anonymous unique identifier. They are sent to your browser from the website you visit and stored in your device's memory. This app may use cookies through third-party code and libraries to collect necessary information to improve service quality. You can choose to accept or reject these cookies and will be informed of when cookies are sent to your device. If you choose to reject these cookies, some features of the service may not function properly. You can limit ad tracking and reset your advertising identifier through your device settings.

Optional Information Collection

This information is only collected when you actively use specific features. You can decide whether to provide it, and it does not affect the core functionality of the app:

Content Data Related to the QR Code Creation Feature: When you actively use the QR code creation feature in the app, we collect the content data you actively enter during the process, including: the text content to be encoded (text information), the URL address for generating the URL QR code (URL link), the email address for generating the email QR code (email information), and network configuration information such as the Wi-Fi name, password, and encryption method for generating the Wi-Fi QR code (Wi-Fi information). This information is used only to generate the corresponding QR code for you and is not used for any other purpose.

Album Access Data: When you select an image containing a QR code or barcode from your photo album for recognition, we will request permission to access your photo album for the sole purpose of accessing the image data you specify. Denying this permission will only affect the "Select an image from your photo album and scan it" feature; the app's camera scanning function will continue to function normally.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

- Ensuring basic functionality and device compatibility

- Optimizing service design and usability

- Providing technical support and troubleshooting

- Supporting internal testing and product development

- Ensuring app security and proper use

It is important to note that without your explicit consent, we will never use any of your information for automated decision-making (such as permission restrictions that do not require human intervention) or analysis outside the scope of the aforementioned scope (such as unrelated user profiling). All information is used on a "necessary and relevant" basis.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

To protect your information security, we adhere to the principle of "not selling or renting personal information." We only disclose your information in the following necessary and legally binding scenarios, and we strictly control the scope of information sharing:

With Your Explicit Consent: When you actively use third-party services such as cloud storage integration, we will, based on your authorization, share "functionally necessary information" with the third-party service provider. This sharing is strictly limited to the minimum necessary to complete the service and will not be expanded without your additional consent.

Sharing with Trusted Partners: To ensure stable app operation and optimize the service experience, we may share information with partners such as crash reporting providers and data analytics providers. However, this sharing only involves anonymized technical data.

Responding to Legitimate Legal Requests: When faced with legally mandated information disclosure requests from government regulatory authorities, judicial bodies, or other lawful entities (such as compliance inspection notices and subpoenas), we will first verify the legitimacy and necessity of the request and only provide "information necessary to meet legal requirements" to the relevant agency. We will firmly refuse requests for information that exceed the legal scope and will record the disclosure process.

Major organizational changes: In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset reorganization, or other similar major organizational change, your user data may be transferred along with the business assets to the new legal entity. However, we will ensure in advance that the new entity strictly adheres to all terms regarding data collection, use, and protection in this Privacy Policy. If the new entity needs to adjust its information handling practices, we will notify you in advance to protect your information rights and interests during the change.

In addition, to further strengthen information security, we rigorously screen all partners and require them to implement security measures that meet industry privacy standards (such as encrypted data storage and access control) to ensure that shared information is securely controlled and mitigate the risk of information leakage.

Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your data:

Encryption: All transmissions are encrypted using HTTPS. Local file encryption is used where applicable.

Access Control: Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel.

Auditing and Monitoring: We regularly audit and update our security systems.

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Your data privacy is of paramount importance to us. We adhere to widely accepted protocols to protect the data provided to us, both during transmission and after receipt. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be 100% secure. Therefore, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the protection of personal information transmitted to our apps or customer service features, and any such transmission is at your own risk. We implement strict procedures and security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

You do not need to create an account on our apps, so we do not collect any personal data from you when you download and/or use our apps. Information we collect automatically is used only for operational purposes and is not retained. All data is stored only on your device—once you delete your system data or uninstall our apps, your information is permanently deleted.

Your Rights and Choices

Based on applicable laws in your region, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data, and we will fully protect your exercise of these rights:

Right to Access Personal Data: You have the right to request information about the specific scope, type, and use of your personal data that we collect and store, and we will clearly inform you of this information.

Right to Correction and Deletion of Data: If you discover that your personal data held by us is incorrect, incomplete, or requires deletion as required by law (e.g., the data is no longer necessary to be retained), you may request that we correct or delete the relevant personal data.

Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your previously granted consent at any time—this can be done through the permissions management function in your device's system settings. After withdrawal, we will no longer process the relevant data based on that consent.

Right to Restrict Processing and Right to Object: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of certain personal data (e.g., suspending non-essential data collection) in accordance with legal provisions. You may also expressly object to certain types of data processing if you believe that such processing does not comply with legal requirements or infringes upon your legal rights.

Right to Complain: If you believe that our processing of your personal data does not comply with applicable law, you have the right to file a complaint with the statutory data protection authority in your region, and we will actively cooperate with the relevant authority's investigation and handling.

We will respect and appropriately handle your requests for these rights in strict accordance with applicable law.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights listed above, or have questions about the process for exercising your rights, please contact us at [email protected]. Upon receiving your request, we will promptly provide you with updates on the progress and results of the processing, in accordance with the legally prescribed timeframes and procedures.

Children

QR Create&Scan is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or request personal information from children. If we discover that such data has been collected, we will promptly delete it.

International Transfers

Our services may operate in multiple jurisdictions. When transferring personal data outside of your country or region, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure data protection, including:

Standard Contractual Clauses (for EU residents)

Hosting data in regions with adequate protection standards

Changes
