Privacy Policy for QR Magic Scanner
Last Updated: February 2026
Welcome to QR Magic Scanner. Your privacy is critically important to us. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.
1. Permissions & Data Collection
Our app requires specific permissions to function. All data processed via these permissions is handled locally on your device.
- Camera: Used strictly to scan QR codes. No images or videos are transmitted to our servers.
- Gallery/Storage: Used only when you choose to "Upload Image" for scanning or "Save" a generated QR code. We only access files you specifically select.
2. Third-Party Advertising
To keep this app free, we display advertisements. These third-party ad partners may collect data to serve personalized ads. This data typically includes your IP address, device ID (IDFA/AAID), and coarse location.
Our primary ad partner is Google AdMob. You can view their privacy policy here: Google Privacy & Terms.
3. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have the right to:
- Request disclosure of the categories of personal data collected (e.g., Device IDs).
- Request the deletion of any personal data collected.
- Opt-out of the "sale" of personal information. Note: We do not "sell" data in the traditional sense, but ad networks use data for targeting.
4. EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA):
- Legal Basis: We process data based on your consent (provided when you accept the app's permissions) and for legitimate business interests (showing ads).
- Data Rights: You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your data. Since we do not have accounts, most data is stored on your device and can be cleared by deleting the app or clearing app cache.
- Consent: We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to ask for your permission before showing personalized ads in the EU.
5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information via third-party ad networks, we will take steps to ensure its removal.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited data processed by our app. However, please remember that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
