Privacy Policy

Introduction

QR Check (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our iOS application handles information when you use our QR code scanning service.

QR Check is a simple, free app with no advertisements and no in-app purchases, designed to help you quickly scan and verify QR codes without opening web pages in your browser.

Information We Do NOT Collect

QR Check does NOT collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• QR code content or URLs you scan
• Camera images or video
• Device contacts, photos, or media
• Location data
• Browser cookies or login session data
• User-generated content

Information We Collect

We collect only anonymous, non-identifiable usage statistics to help improve the app, including:

• General app usage metrics (e.g., number of scans performed)
• Crash reports and diagnostic information
• Device type and iOS version (for compatibility purposes)

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Camera Access

QR Check requires access to your device’s camera to scan QR codes. The camera is used solely for real-time QR code detection. No images or video are stored, transmitted, or processed beyond the immediate scanning function. All processing happens locally on your device.

How Scanned Data is Handled

When you scan a QR code, the app decodes it locally on your device and displays the destination URL. The app may fetch preview information from the URL to show you where it points, but this is done without using your browser’s logged-in sessions, ensuring security and privacy.

Scanned QR code data is not stored permanently and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

Third-Party Services

QR Check does not integrate with any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or social media platforms. Any anonymous usage statistics collected are handled through Apple’s built-in App Store Connect analytics, which complies with Apple’s privacy standards.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store personal information, there is minimal risk to your data. All QR code processing happens locally on your device. We implement industry-standard security practices in our app development to protect against unauthorized access or vulnerabilities.

Children’s Privacy

QR Check does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The app is designed to be safe for users of all ages. If you believe a child has used our app, please contact us, though we do not collect information that would allow us to identify individual users.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data to:

• Access
• Correct
• Delete
• Export

You maintain complete control over your device and can uninstall the app at any time without any data retention concerns.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

International Users

QR Check is available worldwide. Since we collect minimal anonymous data, international data transfer regulations (such as GDPR) pose minimal concern. However, we are committed to complying with applicable privacy laws in all jurisdictions.

No Liability for Third-Party Websites

QR Check displays URLs and website previews from scanned QR codes, but we are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of third-party websites. We do not control or endorse any destinations that QR codes may link to. Users should exercise caution when visiting unfamiliar websites.

Open Source and Transparency

We believe in transparency. QR Check’s functionality is straightforward: scan QR codes, display their destinations, and verify links quickly. We do not engage in hidden data collection or deceptive practices.
