TL;DR: GenerateCustomQR is a client-side tool. We do not require an account, we do not track your personal data, and we do not store the QR codes you generate. Your privacy is our priority.
1. Information We Collect
GenerateCustomQR ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. When you visit our website, we collect minimal data to ensure the site functions correctly. We do not collect personal information such as your name, email, or address unless you voluntarily provide it via our Contact Form.
2. How We Process QR Codes
Our QR code generator primarily processes your data entirely within your browser (client-side). When you use specific features like Logo Embedding or advanced styling, your input data and uploaded images are temporarily sent to our backend servers for rendering. We do not save, store, or log the contents of your QR codes or uploaded logos on our servers. Once the QR code is generated and returned to your browser, the temporary data is immediately discarded.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics trackers. We use your browser's Local Storage solely for functional purposes, specifically:
- Remembering your light/dark mode theme preference.
- Maintaining a temporary undo/redo history of your design adjustments while you are on the page.
This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to us.
4. Third-Party Services
To provide a high-quality experience, we utilize a few essential third-party services:
- Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to render typography on our site. Your browser may send standard requests (including your IP address) to Google's servers to fetch these fonts.
5. Data Retention
Because we do not create user accounts or store user-generated QR codes, we have no user data to retain. Any emails sent to us via our Contact Form will be retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you have rights regarding your personal data. Since we do not collect personal data proactively, there is typically no data for us to provide, modify, or delete. However, if you have concerns or have emailed us in the past, you may contact us to request the deletion of your correspondence.
7. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this 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 at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
