Clean QR Scanner - Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 27, 2025
Our Commitment to Privacy
Clean QR Scanner is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe that a QR code scanner should do one thing well - scan codes - without compromising your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle (or rather, don't handle) your information.
TL;DR: We don't collect any data. Everything stays on your device. Period.
Information We Collect
Short answer: None.
Clean QR Scanner does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers. We have no analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party SDKs that monitor your behavior, and no advertising networks.
Data Stored on Your Device
The following data is stored locally on your device only:
- Scan History - The QR codes and barcodes you scan are saved locally so you can access them later. This data never leaves your device.
- App Preferences - Your settings and preferences are stored locally to personalize your experience.
You have full control over this data. You can delete individual history items or clear all history at any time from within the app.
Camera Access
Clean QR Scanner requires camera access to scan QR codes and barcodes. Here's what you should know:
- Purpose - Camera access is used solely for scanning codes
- No Recording - We do not record, store, or transmit any camera footage or images
- No Background Access - The camera is only active when you're actively using the scanner
- Your Control - You can revoke camera permission at any time through your device settings
What We Don't Do
- No Personal Data Collection - We don't collect names, emails, phone numbers, or any identifiers
- No Analytics or Tracking - We don't use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, or any tracking services
- No Advertising - We don't display ads or share data with advertising networks
- No Third-Party Data Sharing - We don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone
- No Server Communication - The app works entirely offline; no data is sent to our servers
- No Account Required - You don't need to sign up or log in to use the app
Third-Party Services
Clean QR Scanner does not integrate with any third-party services that collect user data. The app is self-contained and operates entirely on your device.
When you scan a QR code containing a URL and choose to open it, you will be directed to your device's default web browser. At that point, the website's own privacy policy applies to your interaction with that site.
Data Security
Since all data remains on your device, it benefits from your device's built-in security features:
- Device Encryption - Your data is protected by your device's encryption
- App Sandboxing - The app's data is isolated from other apps
- No Network Exposure - With no server communication, there's no risk of data interception
Children's Privacy
Clean QR Scanner does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.
Your Rights
You have complete control over your data:
- Access - View all your scan history within the app
- Delete - Remove individual items or clear all history at any time
- Portability - Your data is yours; uninstalling the app removes all associated data
- Permissions - Manage camera permissions through your device settings
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. However, our core commitment will never change: we will never collect your personal data.
