Privacy Policy

1. Overview

QRCode Premium ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our website at qrcodepremium.com and all its subpages (collectively, "the Service").

Our service is designed with a privacy-first approach — all QR code generation happens directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not collect, store, process, or transmit any personal data you enter into our QR code generators. This means the URLs, WiFi passwords, phone numbers, cryptocurrency addresses, and other content you enter never leaves your device.

We believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature to be monetized. This policy is written in plain language so you can understand exactly how your information is handled.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike many online tools, QRCode Premium is architected to minimize data collection by design. Here is what we explicitly do not collect:

• No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) — We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, dates of birth, or any other personally identifiable information.
• No QR Code Content — The data you enter into our generators (URLs, plain text, WiFi credentials, vCard contacts, social media usernames, Bitcoin addresses, etc.) is processed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
• No User Accounts or Credentials — We don't require registration, so there are no stored usernames, passwords, email addresses, or user profiles.
• No Payment Information — We do not accept payments, so we never collect credit card numbers, bank account details, or any financial information.
• No Cross-Site Tracking — We do not use cross-site tracking pixels, retargeting cookies, or share data with advertising networks.
• No Biometric Data — We do not collect fingerprints, facial recognition data, voiceprints, or any biometric identifiers.
• No Location Data — We do not access your device's GPS, precise location, or location history.

3. Information We May Collect

To maintain, improve, and secure our Service, we may collect limited, non-personal, aggregated information. This section describes what may be collected and why.

3.1 Server Access Logs

Like virtually all web servers, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log standard technical information when you visit our website. This may include:

• IP address (may be anonymized or truncated)
• Date and time of access
• Pages requested (URL paths)
• HTTP status codes (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found)
• Referring URL (the page that linked you to us)
• User agent string (browser type and version, operating system)

These logs are used solely for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and basic capacity planning. They are automatically rotated and deleted on a regular schedule. We do not use server logs to identify or profile individual users.

3.2 Analytics Data

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand general usage patterns. If analytics are enabled, the following aggregated data may be collected:

• Pages visited and general navigation flow
• Browser type and version (e.g., Chrome 120, Firefox 121)
• Device category (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Screen resolution category
• Country-level geographic data (derived from IP, not precise location)
• Referring website or search engine
• Session duration and bounce rate

This data is aggregated and anonymized — it cannot be used to identify individual users. We use this information to understand which QR code types are most popular, which features need improvement, and how to optimize the user experience.

3.3 Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and browser local storage that are necessary for the website to function properly:

• Essential cookies — Required for basic site functionality such as remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode), navigation state, and form selections within a session.
• Analytics cookies — Used only if a privacy-respecting analytics tool is enabled. These cookies are always anonymized and never contain personal information.
• Local storage — Your browser's local storage may be used to temporarily cache QR code settings (colors, styles, frame preferences) for a better user experience. This data never leaves your browser.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party cookies designed to follow you across the web.

3.4 Contact Form Submissions

If you choose to contact us through our Contact page, the information you voluntarily provide (name, email, message) will be used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to any marketing lists, share them with third parties, or use them for any purpose other than addressing your message.

4. How We Use Collected Information

Any limited information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Service Maintenance — Ensuring the website loads correctly, identifying broken pages or features, and monitoring server health.
• Performance Optimization — Understanding page load times, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing the user experience across different devices and browsers.
• Feature Prioritization — Understanding which QR code types and features are most used helps us decide what to build, improve, or expand next.
• Security & Abuse Prevention — Detecting and blocking automated scraping, DDoS attacks, and other malicious activities that could affect the Service for all users.
• Bug Fixing — Identifying and reproducing issues reported by users or detected through error monitoring.

We never sell, rent, trade, or share any data with third parties for marketing, advertising, or profiling purposes. We do not create individual user profiles or behavioral models.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties. The only circumstances in which limited data might be disclosed are:

• Legal Obligation — If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, we may disclose server access logs. Since we don't collect personal data, there is typically nothing personal to disclose.
• Service Providers — Our hosting provider may have access to server logs as part of infrastructure management. We select providers who maintain strong data protection practices.
• Protection of Rights — We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, enforce our Terms of Service, or protect the safety of our users or the public.

We will never sell data to data brokers, advertising networks, or any entity whose primary business involves profiling or tracking individuals.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website relies on a minimal number of third-party services to deliver functionality. Here is a comprehensive list:

• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) — We load the "Inter" typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser requests font files, Google may receive your IP address and standard request metadata. Google's Privacy Policy applies to this data.
• jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net) — We use jsDelivr to serve open-source JavaScript libraries (Remix Icons, QR Code Styling, JSZip, FileSaver.js, jsPDF). jsDelivr may log standard access data. jsDelivr's Privacy Policy applies.
• unpkg CDN (unpkg.com) — Used to serve the QR Code Styling library. Similar to jsDelivr, standard CDN access logs may apply.

We carefully evaluate third-party services before integration and only use those that demonstrate strong privacy practices. We do not use any third-party services that are primarily designed for advertising, tracking, or user profiling.

We do not use: Google Analytics (standard version), Facebook Pixel, Twitter/X tracking, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any similar marketing/advertising trackers.

7. Data Security

We implement multiple layers of security to protect the Service and your privacy:

• Client-Side Architecture — The most fundamental security measure: since QRCode Premium processes all QR code data in your browser, your sensitive content (WiFi passwords, contact details, payment addresses, etc.) never reaches our servers. Data that doesn't exist on our servers cannot be breached, leaked, or subpoenaed.
• HTTPS Encryption — All communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). This prevents eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Content Security Policy — We implement strict Content Security Policy headers to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and unauthorized code injection.
• Regular Updates — We keep all server software, dependencies, and libraries up to date to patch known vulnerabilities.
• Minimal Attack Surface — By not storing personal data, user accounts, or payment information, we dramatically reduce the potential impact of any security incident.

While no system can guarantee 100% security, our privacy-by-design architecture means that even in a worst-case scenario, there is no personal data stored on our servers to be compromised.

8. International Users and Data Transfers

QRCode Premium is accessible worldwide. Since we don't collect personal data through our QR code generators, there are generally no cross-border data transfer concerns for our core functionality.

If you contact us via email or our contact form, your message may be processed on servers located in different countries. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any data handling complies with applicable data protection regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar frameworks.

9. European Users (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right to Access — You can request information about what data we hold about you. Since we don't collect personal data from QR code generation, there is typically nothing to access.
• Right to Rectification — You can request correction of any inaccurate data. As we don't maintain user profiles, this right is automatically satisfied.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") — You can request deletion of your data. Since we don't store personal data, this is already the default state.
• Right to Data Portability — You can request a copy of your data in a portable format. No personal data is stored to port.
• Right to Object — You can object to data processing. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
• Right to Restrict Processing — You can request limitation of processing. Browser-based cookie controls give you full control.

Our legal basis for any minimal data processing (server logs, analytics) is legitimate interest — specifically, maintaining and securing the Service for all users.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: [email protected]

10. California Users (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know — You have the right to know what personal information we collect. As stated throughout this policy, we do not collect personal information from QR code generation.
• Right to Delete — You can request deletion of personal information. Since we don't store personal data, this right is inherently satisfied.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale — We do not sell personal information to any third parties. There is nothing to opt out of.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

11. Children's Privacy

QRCode Premium does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Our service is designed to be used by individuals of all ages.

Since we do not collect personal data, create user accounts, or require registration, there is no mechanism through which we could unknowingly collect children's information through normal use of our QR code generators.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us through our contact form, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete any such information.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Regardless of your location, you have the following rights and choices when using QRCode Premium:

• Browser Controls — You can clear your browser's cookies, local storage, and cached data at any time through your browser's settings. This will remove any preferences saved by our website.
• Do Not Track — We respect the "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signal. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will not enable any optional analytics tracking.
• Ad Blockers & Privacy Extensions — You are free to use browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or similar tools. Our core functionality (QR code generation) works fully even with all third-party resources blocked.
• JavaScript — Note that QR code generation requires JavaScript to be enabled, as all processing happens client-side in your browser.
• Contact Us — You can contact us at any time with privacy-related questions, concerns, or requests. We will respond within 30 days.

13. Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data through QR code generation, there is no personal data to retain or delete. For the limited non-personal data we may handle:

• Server Logs — Automatically rotated and deleted within 30-90 days, depending on hosting configuration.
• Analytics Data — If enabled, aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months for trend analysis, then automatically purged.
• Contact Form Submissions — Retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, then deleted within 12 months.
• Browser Local Storage — Data stored in your browser's local storage persists until you clear it manually or until your browser's storage policies remove it.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes:

• The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
• For significant changes that materially affect your rights, we will provide a prominent notice on our website.
• We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
