Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 14, 2026
At QRCodeScanner.net, your privacy is our top priority. We have built our QR code scanning tool with security and privacy by design. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how it is used, and how we protect your data.
1 100% Local Processing
The core functionality of QRCodeScanner.net runs entirely inside your web browser. When you use your webcam to scan a QR code or upload an image containing a QR code, the scanning and decoding processes happen locally on your device.
- We do not upload, transmit, or store your camera feed on our servers.
- We do not save or store images you upload for scanning.
- The decoded contents of the QR codes you scan remain on your device and are never sent to us.
2 Camera Permissions
To use the webcam scanning feature, your browser will ask for permission to access your device's camera. This permission is used strictly for real-time QR code scanning within the browser.
You can revoke this permission at any time through your browser's site settings.
3 Data Collection and Usage
Because our tool operates locally on your device, we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) during the scanning process. However, like most websites, we may collect standard server logs for security and performance monitoring. This may include:
- Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Time and date of visit
- Referring pages
This data is used solely for analyzing website traffic, ensuring security, and improving the user experience. It is not linked to any personal information.
4 Cookies and Analytics
We may use minimal cookies or standard analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools help us track usage metrics like page views to improve our service.
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings without affecting the core functionality of the QR code scanner.
5 Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, when you scan a QR code that contains a URL). We have no control over the content or privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to be cautious and review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
6 Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
