Swift QR Scanner Privacy Policy

Swift QR Scanner is a privacy-focused QR code and barcode scanning application that processes all data locally on your device. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We CollectWhat We DON'T Collect

• No Personal Information: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information
• No Account Data: No user accounts, registration, or login required
• No Scan Content: QR code and barcode content is processed locally and not transmitted to our servers
• No Analytics: We do not track your usage patterns or collect analytics data
• No Location Data: We do not access or collect your location information

Camera Access

Our app requires camera access solely to scan QR codes and barcodes. Camera usage is:

• Local Processing Only: All scanning is processed on your device
• No Image Storage: We do not save, store, or transmit images from your camera
• No Recording: We do not record video or take photos
• Immediate Processing: Camera data is used instantly for scanning and immediately discarded

Local Data Storage

The app stores data locally on your device using your device's local storage:

• Scan History: QR codes you've scanned (stored locally only)
• Generated QR Codes: QR codes you've created (stored locally only)
• App Preferences: Your settings like theme, sound effects, and history limits (stored locally only)

Important: This data never leaves your device and is completely under your control.

Permissions We RequestRequired Permissions

• CAMERA: Essential for scanning QR codes and barcodes
• VIBRATE: Provides haptic feedback when scans are successful (enhances user experience)

How We Use These Permissions

• Camera: Only used when you actively scan QR codes; no background access
• Vibrate: Only triggered during successful scans to provide feedback

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not share any data with third parties.

• No Server Communication: The app works completely offline
• No External Services: We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking services
• No Data Transmission: All processing happens locally on your device
• No Cloud Storage: Your data is not backed up or synchronized to any cloud service

Data Security

Since all data processing occurs locally on your device:

• No Network Transmission: Your scan data never travels over the internet
• Device-Level Security: Data security relies on your device's built-in security features
• No Central Database: We don't maintain servers or databases that could be compromised

Your Control Over Data

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete Scan History: Clear individual scans or all scan history within the app
• Uninstall App: Removes all app data from your device
• Deny Permissions: You can revoke camera access (though this prevents scanning functionality)
• Local Storage: All data remains on your device and can be managed through your device settings

Children's Privacy

Our app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app can be safely used by children under parental supervision, as all processing occurs locally on the device.

Offline Functionality

Swift QR Scanner is designed to work completely offline:

• No Internet Required: Full functionality without network connection
• Local Processing: All QR generation and scanning happens on your device
• Privacy by Design: Offline operation ensures maximum privacy protection

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy within the app
• Updating the "Last Updated" date above
• Providing in-app notifications for significant changes

Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
