Device Permissions:
To provide you with the core functionality of QR24, we require access to certain device features and permissions:

• NFC Permission: Required to read and write NFC tags. This permission allows the App to communicate with NFC-enabled devices and tags when you bring your device close to an NFC tag.
• Storage Permission: Required to save generated QR codes, scanned history, and NFC tag data on your device. All data is stored locally on your device unless you choose to share it.
• Location Permission (Optional): May be requested when accessing WiFi or Bluetooth information for generating QR codes with WiFi credentials or location-based content. This permission is optional and only requested when needed for specific features.
