1. Introduction

QrCodes ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit and use our free QR code generator website.

Our core principle is simple: we collect the absolute minimum amount of data necessary to operate our service. Since our QR code generator works entirely in your browser, we do not store, process, or have access to the content you encode in your QR codes.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

It is important to us that you understand what we do not collect:

QR Code Content: The data you enter to generate QR codes (URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact info, etc.) is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. This data never reaches our servers.
Generated QR Code Images: The QR code images you create and download are generated client-side and are never stored on our servers.
Account Information: We do not require account registration. We do not collect usernames, passwords, or email addresses for service access.
Payment Information: Our service is completely free. We do not collect any payment or billing information.
Personal Profiles: We do not build user profiles or track individual user behavior across sessions.

3. Information We May Collect

The only information we may collect is:

a) Contact Form Submissions

If you choose to use our contact form to reach us, we collect the information you voluntarily provide:

Your name
Your email address
Your message content

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add this information to any marketing lists, and we do not share it with third parties. Contact form data is retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry.

b) Automatically Collected Technical Data

Like most websites, our servers may automatically log certain technical information when you visit our site, including:

IP address (used solely for security and server administration)
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referring URL
Pages visited and time spent
Date and time of access

This data is collected automatically by our web server for security monitoring and performance optimization purposes. It is not used to identify individual users or build personal profiles.

c) Cookies

We use minimal cookies strictly necessary for the functioning of our website:

Session Cookie: Used to maintain your session state (e.g., CSRF token for form security). This cookie is essential and cannot be disabled.
Functional Cookies: May be used to remember your preferences (such as theme or language settings) to enhance your experience.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking technologies.

4. How QR Code Generation Works

Understanding our technical architecture is key to understanding your privacy:

All QR code generation happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript
The content you type into the generator (URLs, text, WiFi info, etc.) is processed locally on your device
QR code images are rendered in your browser and downloaded directly to your device
None of your QR code data is transmitted to or stored on our servers

This means we physically cannot access, read, or store the content you encode in your QR codes.

5. Data Security

We take the security of our website and your data seriously. We implement the following security measures:

HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are encrypted using TLS/SSL
Security Headers: We implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
CSRF Protection: All forms are protected against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks
Input Validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized server-side
Minimal Data Storage: By design, we store the minimum amount of data necessary

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party resources:

Google Fonts: We load web fonts from Google Fonts to improve typography. Google may collect your IP address when fonts are loaded. You can prevent this by blocking Google Fonts in your browser settings.

We do not integrate with any third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers. We have no business relationships that involve sharing user data.

7. Data Retention

Contact Form Data: Retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry. You may request deletion at any time.
Server Logs: Automatically collected technical data is retained for a limited period for security purposes and then automatically purged.
QR Code Data: Not retained at all — this data never reaches our servers.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: You can request information about any personal data we hold about you
Right to Rectification: You can request correction of any inaccurate data
Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data
Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit how we use your data
Right to Data Portability: You can request to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format
Right to Object: You can object to our processing of your personal data

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under the age of 13. 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 so we can take appropriate action.

10. International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the jurisdiction where we operate. If you are accessing our service from a different jurisdiction, please be aware that information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in our servers' jurisdiction. By using our service, you consent to this transfer.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
