Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2024
Our Approach to Privacy
At Free QR Creator, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about our practices. Our QR code generator processes your data locally in your browser for speed and convenience. We collect minimal information and are transparent about what we do and don't collect.
Information We Don't Collect
Unlike many online services, we specifically do not collect:
- The content you enter to create QR codes (URLs, WiFi passwords, contact information, etc.)
- The QR codes you generate
- Your IP address beyond standard server logs
- Personal information through forms or accounts
- Device fingerprinting data
Information We May Collect
We may collect limited information to improve our service and ensure proper functionality:
Website Usage Information
We may collect anonymized information about how our website is used, including:
- Pages visited and features used
- General geographic location (country/region level)
- Browser type and device information
- Time spent on site and user interactions
Server Logs
Our web servers automatically log standard information including IP addresses, browser types, and access times. These logs are used for security, performance monitoring, and site improvements. Server logs are automatically deleted after 90 days.
How Our QR Generator Works
Your privacy is protected by our technical architecture:
- Local Processing: All QR code generation happens in your browser using JavaScript
- No Data Transmission: Your input data never leaves your device
- No Storage: We don't save your QR codes or the data used to create them
- Immediate Deletion: When you close the page, all data is automatically cleared
Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies and browser storage to enhance your experience:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (anonymized data)
- Local Storage: Temporarily stores your QR generator preferences during your session
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to provide and improve our website:
- Web Analytics: To understand website usage and improve user experience
- Content Delivery Network (CDN): To improve website loading speed
- Cloud Hosting: To serve the website reliably
- Advertising Services: We may display advertisements to support our free service
Third-party services have their own privacy policies. We choose providers that maintain reasonable privacy standards, but we encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns.
Data Security
We implement security measures to protect our website:
- HTTPS encryption for all connections
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- Minimal data collection reduces security risks
- No user accounts or stored passwords
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data through QR code generation, most data protection rights don't apply. However, you can:
- Disable cookies in your browser settings
- Use browser privacy/incognito mode
- Contact us with any privacy concerns
- Request information about any data we might have
Children's Privacy
Our service does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since our QR generator works entirely in the browser without data collection, it's safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We'll post the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
