Privacy policy.

Last updated: August 24, 2026

Short version

QRCodeScanner does not collect, transmit, or store your images, camera footage, or QR code contents. All scanning happens locally in your browser. We do not require accounts and there is no signup anywhere on this site.

What stays on your device

• Images you scan (uploads, pastes, screenshots) are decoded in your browser using JavaScript. They are never uploaded to any server.
• Camera video from the Camera tab is processed in real time on your device and never recorded or transmitted.
• Scan history, if entries exist, is saved only in your browser's localStorage. You can delete individual entries or clear everything at any time. Clearing your browser data also removes it.
• Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored in localStorage as well.

What we collect

QRCodeScanner does not use analytics cookies, advertising trackers, or session recording. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider may process standard server request logs (such as IP address, user agent, and requested URL) for security and operational purposes. These logs are not used to profile visitors and are retained only for a short period.

Third-party services

This site loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts. Fonts are served self-hosted from our own domain. When you choose to open a scanned link — for example by tapping "Open link" — you leave QRCodeScanner and the destination website's own privacy policy applies.

Children's privacy

The service is safe for all ages precisely because it collects nothing. No personal information is requested or stored from any visitor.

Your rights

Since we hold no personal data, there is nothing to export, correct, or delete on our side. Data stored on your device (scan history, theme preference) is fully under your control via the history panel or your browser settings.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated date above will change with it. Material changes will be described on this page.
