🔒 Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Scanning and Generation Data

QRISP Pro operates on a strict privacy-first policy for your core usage:

• Scanned QR code or barcode content: NOT collected - processed locally only
• Generated QR code data: NOT collected - created locally only
• Scan history: Stored locally on your device only
• Generation history: Stored locally on your device only
• Scan content or frequency: NOT tracked or transmitted

1.2 What We DO NOT Collect

We absolutely do not collect:

• The actual content of QR codes or barcodes you scan
• The content of QR codes you generate
• Your personal documents or images
• Contact information from scanned codes
• Camera access logs beyond scanning sessions
• Your personal identity or contact details
• Precise location data
• Any data for advertising purposes (QRISP Pro is ad-free)

1.3 Local-Only Processing

All scanning, generation, and core processing operations occur entirely on your device using advanced on-device algorithms. Your scan data and generated content never leave your device for processing.

2. How We Use Information

2.1 Core App Functionality

Since we don't collect your scanning or generation data, we cannot and do not use your scan information for any purpose beyond providing the local scanning functionality within the app.

2.2 Service Improvement

Anonymous usage statistics help us:

• Identify and fix bugs or performance issues
• Understand which features are most valuable
• Optimize the app for different device types
• Plan future feature development

2.3 NO Advertisement Data Collection

QRISP Pro is completely ad-free. We do not collect any data for advertising purposes, partner with ad networks, or track user behavior for marketing. Your environment remains focused and distraction-free.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

3.1 Scan Data Sharing

Zero Sharing Policy: Since we don't collect your scan data, we have nothing to share. QRISP Pro does not share, sell, rent, or disclose any of your scanning or generation content to third parties because we simply don't have access to your data.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information only if required by law enforcement or legal process, and only to the extent legally required. This would be limited to the minimal anonymous data we collect, never your scan content.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage Only

Any optional data storage (such as scan history and generated QR code library) occurs exclusively on your device and is fully under your control:

• You can enable or disable scan history at any time
• You can enable or disable generation history storage
• You can clear all stored data instantly
• All stored data remains on your device only
• Uninstalling the app removes all associated data

4.2 User Responsibility for Data Management

By using QRISP Pro, you acknowledge and accept that:

• Local-Only Storage: All data exists only on your device using local storage mechanisms
• No Cloud Backup: We do not save, backup, or store any of your scanning data on external servers
• User-Controlled Deletion: You have complete control over deleting scan history and generated content
• Irreversible Deletion: Once you delete data, it cannot be recovered by us or anyone else
• Device Dependency: Your data is permanently tied to your specific device and app installation
• No Recovery Services: We cannot restore deleted data under any circumstances

4.3 Security Measures

We implement robust security practices:

• No network transmission of scan or generation data
• Secure local storage using device encryption
• Minimal permission requirements
• Regular security audits of our codebase
• Encrypted transmission for anonymous analytics only

5. Permissions

5.1 Required Permissions

QRISP Pro requires minimal permissions to function:

• Camera: Essential for scanning QR codes and barcodes
• Storage (Optional): For exporting scans, saving generated QR codes, and maintaining local history
• Internet: Required for license verification and anonymous analytics only (no ads)

5.2 Permission Usage

All permissions are used exclusively for their stated purpose:

• Camera access is only used during active scanning sessions
• Storage access is only used for user-initiated exports and local data storage
• Internet access is used only for license verification and anonymous analytics, never for transmitting scan content or showing ads

6. Children's Privacy

QRISP Pro is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our minimal data collection practices and local-only processing make the app inherently child-safe.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us to remove any such information.

7. International Users

This privacy policy applies globally. Regardless of your location, QRISP Pro operates with the same strict privacy-first policy for scan data, ensuring compliance with international privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and other regional privacy laws.

For users in the European Union, you have additional rights under GDPR regarding the minimal anonymous data we collect for app improvement.

8. Data Export and Backup Recommendations

To protect your important data, we strongly recommend:

• Regular Exports: Use the app's export features to save important scan history and generated QR codes
• External Backup: Save exported data to your preferred cloud storage services
• Documentation: Keep records of important QR codes and scan results outside the app
• Periodic Backup: Export data before major device or app updates
• Multiple Formats: Export in different formats for redundancy

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 Access and Control

You have the right to:

• Access any personal data we collect (minimal anonymous data for app improvement)
• Request deletion of any collected data
• Control local data storage within the app
• Request information about our data practices

9.2 Data Portability

Since all your scan data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over data portability through the app's export features.

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date.
