1. Introduction

Welcome to Smart QR Scanner Pro ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting and respecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how our mobile application handles your information when you use our services.

2. Permissions We Request & Why

To provide core QR scanning and generation features, the application requests the following Android permissions:

• Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA): Required solely for optical scanning of QR codes and barcodes in real-time. Video streams are analyzed completely on-device using Google ML Kit. No camera feeds or photos are recorded, stored on remote servers, or transmitted.
• Storage / Media Access: Only accessed if you explicitly choose to scan a QR code from a saved screenshot or gallery picture, or when you save a newly generated QR code to your device storage.
• Flashlight: Used solely to assist optical camera scanning in low-light environments.
• Vibration (android.permission.VIBRATE): Used solely to provide immediate haptic feedback whenever a barcode is successfully detected.

3. Offline Storage & Scan History

All items created or scanned through Smart QR Scanner Pro (including URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact details, and dates) are stored in an encrypted/private SQLite database directly on your smartphone. We do not operate user database servers and do not have access to your personal scan history.

4. Third-Party Advertisements (Google AdMob)

Smart QR Scanner Pro is free to use and supported by Google AdMob. Third-party advertising partners may collect anonymized, pseudonymous identifiers strictly for ad measurement, fraud prevention, and personalized ad serving. This may include:

• Google Mobile Advertising ID (AAID)
• Coarse / Approximate IP-based Location
• App performance, ad metrics, and crash diagnostics

For detailed information on how Google manages advertising information, please review the Google Ad & Privacy Policy.

5. Children's Privacy

Our app does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

6. Security of Your Data

We value your trust. Because your scan records and generated codes are stored locally on your device, your information is protected by Android's built-in sandbox security architecture.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Any modifications will be updated on this page with a revised effective date.
