Last Updated: February 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how QR Code Scanner 2026 (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) handles your information. By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Information We Collect and Use

To provide a functional and free service, we access specific features on your device:

Camera Access: We require camera permissions to scan and decode QR codes and barcodes. Images captured by the camera are processed locally on your device and are not stored or transmitted to our servers.
Internet & Network State: These permissions allow the App to open web links found in QR codes and enable the delivery of advertisements.
Advertising ID (AD_ID): We use the Google Advertising ID to serve personalized ads and analyze ad performance. This identifier does not reveal your name or contact information.

2. Data Storage and Security

No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect “Personal Information” such as your name, email address, or phone number.
Local Processing: All scanning history (if stored) remains on your local device unless you explicitly choose to share it via third-party apps.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdMob) to support the App. These partners may use cookies or the AD_ID to collect information about your interactions with ads to provide a more relevant experience.

4. Children’s Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You can manage or opt out of certain features at any time:

Camera Permissions: Disable camera access via your device settings (note: this will disable scanning functionality).
Ad Tracking: You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your Android device’s Google Settings > Ads.
