Privacy Policy – QrScanBox

Introduction

QrScanBox ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application QrScanBox (the "Application"). Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use the Application.

Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address in order to use the Application. All QR code and barcode scanning, generation, and processing occur locally on your device. The Application does not transmit your scanned content, generated codes, notes, or other in-app data to our servers, because we do not operate any backend servers for this Application.

The Application only connects to the internet when you choose to open links (for example, in your browser, maps, email, phone, or messaging apps) or when you share content using your device's native sharing options. In those cases, data is sent directly to the respective third-party services you select, not to QrScanBox.

We do not use analytics services to track user behavior at this time, and we do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable platform requirements.

Data Stored Locally

The following data may be stored locally on your device:

• Scan history — records of QR codes and barcodes you have scanned
• App preferences — settings such as dark mode, auto-scan, vibration, sound, and camera selection
• Notes — any notes you create within the Application
• Generated QR codes and barcodes

This data remains on your device and is not uploaded to our servers. You may clear this data at any time by resetting the app settings or uninstalling the Application.

Notes created within the Application may contain text and images selected by the user. Any images attached to notes are stored locally on the user's device and are not uploaded, transmitted, or shared with our servers or third parties unless explicitly shared by the user through system share sheets or external apps the user selects.

Camera Access

The Application requires camera access solely for the purpose of scanning QR codes and barcodes. We do not record, store, stream, or transmit any camera footage. Camera data is processed in real time on your device and is not retained once the scan is complete. You may revoke camera permission at any time through your device settings; doing so will disable the scanning functionality.

The Application does not request microphone access or record audio.

Storage and Photo Library Access

The Application may access your device’s media or storage for the following user-initiated features: (a) saving a generated QR code/barcode image to your device; (b) selecting an image from your gallery when you choose to scan a code from a saved photo; (c) selecting images to attach to notes.

On Android, we use user-selected system pickers (such as the system photo picker / system image selection UI) for selecting images. We do not request broad access to all photos or videos on your device (for example, we do not request permissions such as READ_MEDIA_IMAGES or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO for persistent access).

When you save a generated image, the app writes only the single image you created. The app does not continuously read or browse your media library beyond what is necessary to provide the feature you choose to use. All processing occurs locally on your device and is not sent to our own external servers.

Sound and Vibration

Sound and vibration features are used only to provide scan feedback and improve user experience. These can be fully controlled and disabled through the Application settings. We do not use sound or vibration for tracking, analytics, or any purpose other than the stated functionality.

Advertisements

QrScanBox does not currently display advertisements within the Application. If we introduce ads or an advertising SDK (such as Google AdMob) in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and any required disclosures in the app store. If advertisements are introduced, providers may collect limited, non-personal information (e.g., device identifiers or advertising IDs) solely for ad delivery and measurement purposes, in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable platform rules. QrScanBox does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers for their independent marketing purposes.

If we integrate Google AdMob in the future, you may review Google's Privacy Policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Third-Party Services and Network Connections

The Application may integrate or link to third-party services (e.g., web browsers, map providers, email clients, messaging apps, ad networks, or payment processors) that have their own privacy policies. When you tap a link or share content, your device may connect to those services using your internet connection. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their policies before interacting with such services.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data stored within the Application. Because processing occurs locally on your device, the security of your data also depends on your device's security (e.g., passcode, biometric lock). We recommend keeping your device updated and secured. We do not transmit or store your data on our servers, which limits exposure to data breaches.

Data Retention

Data stored locally on your device (scan history, notes, preferences) remains until you delete it, reset the Application, or uninstall the Application. We do not retain copies of your data. If you share content via third-party apps (e.g., messaging, social media), the retention of that shared data is governed by those third parties' policies.

Children's Privacy

The Application is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information. Users between 13 and 18 should use the Application with parental or guardian consent.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing. Because we do not collect or store your data on our servers, most of your data is under your control on your device. You can delete scan history, notes, and preferences by resetting the Application or uninstalling it. For questions about data we may process (e.g., through future ad or analytics integrations), please contact us.

International Data Transfers

Your data is processed and stored locally on your device. We do not transfer your personal data across borders. If you use sharing features that send data to third-party services, those transfers are governed by the respective third parties' policies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Application, or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Your continued use of the Application after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the in-app feedback option (Settings → Contact & Feedback) or by email at mhrexcontact@gmail.com.

We will respond to your inquiries in accordance with applicable law.
