Privacy Policy — QR Scanner Pro

Effective date: 2026-02-01

This Privacy Policy explains how the QR Scanner Pro app (“the App”) handles information when you use it.

Summary

• Scan history is stored locally on your device.
• The App may use third‑party services for ads and analytics/crash reporting.
• The App does not require you to create an account.

Information you provide

• Scanned or generated content: When you scan a code or generate a QR, the resulting value may be saved to your local history on your device.
• Bug reports: If you choose “Report a bug”, the App prepares a text report (optionally including device/app environment info) and opens your device’s share sheet. You control whether and where you send it.

Information collected automatically (third parties)

Depending on your configuration and whether you are using the free version, the App may use:

• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads (ads)
  • May collect identifiers and usage data to provide and measure ads.
  • On Android 13+ the App may request the Advertising ID permission (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) for ads SDK functionality.
  • The App provides an in‑app toggle to request non‑personalized ads.
• Firebase Analytics (usage analytics)
  • Helps understand app usage and improve features.
• Firebase Crashlytics (crash reporting)
  • Helps detect and fix crashes.

For details about data handled by these services, refer to Google’s policies and documentation for AdMob and Firebase.

How the App uses information

• Provide core features (scan, generate, show results).
• Save and display your local scan/generation history.
• Show ads (free version) and manage Premium/ad‑free state.

Data storage and retention
