Scanify Privacy Policy

 1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy governs the use of the mobile application Scanify ("App"). The App is a utility tool designed to create QR codes from user-provided text or URLs, and to scan existing QR codes to convert them into readable text. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle the limited data we collect.
2. Data Collection and Processing
Scanify is designed to operate with minimal data collection.
A. Data Not Collected (Core Functionality)
The core functions of the App occur locally on your device. This means:

• QR Code Content: The text or URL you enter to create a QR code, or the data contained within a QR code you scan, is not stored on our servers, transmitted to us, or shared with any third parties for the purpose of the App’s core function. This data remains private on your device.

B. Data Collected (Third-Party Services)
We may use third-party services to analyze app performance, fix bugs, and, if applicable, display advertisements. These providers may collect data according to their own policies.

Necessary Permissions
The App requires access to the following permissions on your device solely for the purpose of its core functionality:

• Camera Permission: Required to allow the App to use the device's camera to scan QR codes. This access is only used when you actively initiate the scanning feature.
• Storage/Media Permission (may be requested): To allow you to save the QR codes you generate as images to your device's gallery, or to allow scanning of an image already stored on your device.

4. Data Security
We are committed to ensuring the security of your data. While no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow generally accepted industry standards.

• Data in Transit: Any minimal data transmitted off your device (like analytics data) is encrypted in transit (using secure layer technology like SSL/TLS).
• Data Control: Since your private QR code content is processed locally and not transmitted, you retain full control over that information.

5. Children’s Privacy
Scanify is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can take the necessary actions.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy here. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
