Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

QR Scanner & Barcode - Anchor is committed to providing safe, convenient, and efficient QR code and barcode related services. This Policy applies to all users of the App and all services provided through the App. It describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your information, as well as your rights and how to exercise them. We strictly comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws and take reasonable and effective measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction.

2. Information Collection

We follow the "minimum necessary collection" principle and only collect information essential for providing and improving the App's functions and services. We never collect unnecessary personal information or collect your private information without your permission.

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information related to your device and usage behavior. This information is used only to optimize the App's performance and improve service quality. Specifically:

• Device information - such as device model, device ID (e.g., IMEI, Android ID), operating system version, system language, screen resolution, and device hardware configuration. This helps us adapt the App to different devices and resolve technical issues.
• Usage data - such as time you open the App, functions you use (e.g., QR code generation, scanning), frequency of use, and in-app operation records. This is used to analyze user habits, optimize feature layout, and improve user experience.

2.2 Information Not Collected

We never collect your private personal information, including but not limited to your full name, home address, gender, phone number, email address, ID card number, bank card information, social security number, or other sensitive personal information. Even if you enter text, numbers, or other information when using the QR code generation function (e.g., contact information, address, text content), such information is stored only locally on your device. We do not upload it to our servers or share it with any third parties.

3. Use of Information

We strictly use collected information in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws. We will never use it for purposes not stated in this Policy without your explicit consent.

• Improve service quality - Analyze usage data to identify potential issues, optimize functions and interface, and provide a better user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations - If required by laws, regulations, judicial or administrative authorities, we may use or disclose your information as required by law.

3.2 Prohibition of Unauthorized Use and Sharing

Unless we have obtained your explicit consent, or it is required by laws, regulations, administrative orders, or judicial decisions, we will not use your device information, usage data, or any other information for any other purposes, nor will we share, transfer, lease, or disclose such information to any third parties.

4. Third-Party Services (Analytics and Advertising)

To improve user experience, we use third-party services such as Google Analytics to help us analyze how our app is used. They collect information only to help us improve our service. We do not share any information you actively provide to us with Google.

You can adjust your mobile device settings to opt out of certain Google Analytics features (for example, your device advertising settings). For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
