Privacy Policy

How QRCodePlus handles information when you use generators, scanners, and this website.

Last updated: September 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how QRCodePlus (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit qrcodeplus.net and use our QR code and barcode tools. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Summary

  • Core generators and scanners are designed to run in your browser — we do not store the URLs, WiFi passwords, GTINs, or other payloads you enter for later retrieval.
  • We collect limited technical data typical of websites (such as server logs) and optional analytics when enabled.
  • Administration of the site uses separate authenticated sessions that do not apply to normal public tool usage.

Information you provide

Tool inputs

When you create a QR code or barcode, you enter data such as URLs, contact details, WiFi credentials, or product numbers. That content is processed to render or decode codes in your browser. We do not maintain a user account database for public visitors and do not save tool payloads for you to access later.

Contact messages

If you email us through [email protected], we receive whatever you choose to send — name, email address, message body, and attachments. We use that information only to respond and improve support.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our servers may log:

  • IP address, browser type, and operating system.
  • Pages visited, referring URL, and approximate request timestamps.
  • Error diagnostics when something fails on the server.

We use logs to keep the service secure, debug outages, and understand aggregate traffic patterns — not to reconstruct individual tool payloads.

Scanner and camera data

QR Code Scan and Barcode Scan process camera frames and uploaded images in your browser when possible. Images and live camera feeds are not uploaded to our servers for basic decoding. You remain responsible for what you scan and where you point your camera.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small number of cookies and browser storage mechanisms. See our Cookie Policy for details. In short:

  • Essential cookies may support site operation and admin authentication.
  • Optional analytics cookies or scripts may be enabled by the site operator to measure usage.
  • You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

Analytics

When configured, we may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a custom script) to understand which pages and features are used. Analytics data is aggregated and does not include the specific text you type into generators. Event names such as “tool download” may fire without attaching your payload content.

How we use information

  • Operate, maintain, and improve QRCodePlus tools and content.
  • Respond to contact and security reports.
  • Detect abuse, fraud, and technical issues.
  • Comply with legal obligations when required.

What we do not do

  • Sell your personal information.
  • Store public-tool payloads in a retrievable account for anonymous visitors.
  • Use your generated codes or scanned content for advertising profiling.

Data retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period appropriate for security and operations, then rotated or deleted. Contact emails are kept as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and for reasonable business records. Admin and translation workflows may retain content you publish through the administration interface — that applies to site operators, not casual tool users.

International visitors

QRCodePlus is accessible globally. If you access the site from outside your home country, your information may be processed on servers located in jurisdictions different from yours. We take reasonable steps to protect data regardless of location.

Children’s privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

  • Use tools without creating an account.
  • Avoid entering sensitive secrets you do not want processed in-browser or transmitted over the internet.
  • Disable non-essential cookies in your browser.
  • Contact us to ask questions about this policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when features, analytics, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the revision. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
