Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

At priv QR, we are committed to protecting your privacy. The service is free to use and does not require an account, login, or sign-up. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our QR code generation tools.

Inputs Processed Locally in Your Browser

• QR code content you enter (text, URLs, contact information)
• Cryptocurrency addresses (for crypto QR generation)
• WiFi credentials (for WiFi QR codes)
• Contact information (for contact QR codes)

Automatically Collected Information

• Usage statistics stored locally in your browser, such as daily generation counters
• Browser type and version
• Device information
• Access times and pages visited

Client-Side Processing

Your sensitive data never leaves your browser. All QR code generation happens locally on your device. We do not transmit, store, or have access to:

• Your QR code content
• Cryptocurrency addresses or amounts
• Personal contact information
• WiFi passwords or network credentials
• Matter pairing payloads or setup PINs

Local Storage

We may use browser local storage only to:

• Remember your preferred settings
• Enable offline functionality
• Keep optional local counters or diagnostics on your device

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies to:

• Remember preferences where needed
• Enable core functionality

For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

When you allow optional analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand:

• Which features are most popular
• Page visits and general browser or device information
• Successful generation, decoding, and download actions

Google Analytics uses cookies and browser identifiers. We do not send QR content, wallet details, WiFi credentials, Matter payloads, or setup PINs. Page URLs exclude query strings and fragments, and external referrers are limited to their origin. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled for this analytics integration.

You can allow or decline analytics, and change your choice using Analytics preferences in the footer. The QR tools work with either choice. Learn about Google's handling of service data in its Privacy Policy.

Optional guide-page advertising

English guides may show one 300 × 250 Adsterra banner below the article, only after you choose Allow ads. There are no advertising tags on QR input, generation, or download pages. Moving between a guide and a tool loads a new document so guide advertising scripts do not remain active in the tool.

Adsterra and its partners may process your IP address, browser and device information, the guide page, and cookies or similar identifiers to deliver and measure ads. We do not include QR content, WiFi credentials, wallet details, or Matter setup data in the advertising configuration. Learn more in Adsterra's Privacy Policy.

Your advertising choice is stored on this device for 180 days, separately from analytics. Use Turn off ads beneath a banner to withdraw permission; the page reloads to stop active advertising scripts. This does not erase data already received by providers. You can remove their cookies with your browser settings. Declining ads does not restrict any tool or download.

Hosting and Infrastructure

Our website is hosted on Vercel, which may collect:

• Server logs and access information
• Performance metrics
• Security-related data

QR Content

We do not transmit QR contents to advertising or analytics providers. Optional advertising data is handled as described above; QR generation remains local to your browser.

You have the right to:

• Access information about your data (though we store minimal data)
• Clear your local storage at any time
• Use our service without creating an account or logging in
• Request deletion of any server-side analytics data

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
