1. Introduction
Vdefine IT Solutions Limited ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application QR24 (the "App"). Please read this privacy policy carefully.
By using the QR24 App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the App.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information Collected Automatically
Device Permissions:
To provide you with the core functionality of QR24, we require access to certain device features and permissions:
- Camera Permission: Required to scan QR codes and barcodes. The camera is used in real-time for scanning purposes only. We do not store, transmit, or process any camera images or videos except for the purpose of decoding QR codes.
- 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.
2.2 Information You Provide
- Scan History: When you scan QR codes, barcodes, or NFC tags, the App stores this information locally on your device for your convenience. This includes URLs, text, contact information, WiFi credentials, and other data contained in the codes.
- Generated QR Codes: When you create QR codes using the App, the content you input (text, URLs, contact information, WiFi credentials, etc.) is processed and stored locally on your device.
- NFC Tag Data: When you read or write NFC tags, the data is processed and stored locally on your device.
2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
QR24 is designed with privacy in mind. We want to be clear about what we do NOT collect:
- We do NOT collect any personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address unless you voluntarily encode such information into a QR code for your own use.
- We do NOT track your location in real-time.
- We do NOT access your contacts, photos, or other media files without your explicit permission.
- We do NOT collect any analytics or usage data about how you use the App.
- We do NOT use third-party analytics or tracking services.
- We do NOT transmit your scanned data or generated QR codes to our servers or any third party.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information collected by QR24 is used solely for the following purposes:
- To Provide Core Functionality: To enable QR code scanning, generation, barcode reading, NFC tag reading/writing, and related features.
- To Store Your Data Locally: To maintain a history of your scans and generated codes on your device for your convenience.
- To Enable Sharing: To allow you to share QR codes and scanned information via third-party apps (email, messaging apps, social media) when you explicitly choose to do so.
Important: All data processing occurs locally on your device. We do not have access to your scanned data, generated QR codes, or NFC tag information.
4. Data Storage and Security
