Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. This policy explains what information QRcodeUniverse collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
1. Who we are
QRcodeUniverse (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at qrcodeuniverse.com, a free online QR code generator. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at hello@qrcodeuniverse.com.
2. The content you encode stays private
QR codes are generated entirely within your web browser. The URLs, text, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials and other information you enter to create a QR code are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. Any design you save is kept locally in your browser’s storage on your own device.
3. Information we collect
We aim to collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:
- Usage & device data: anonymous analytics such as pages visited, browser type, device category and approximate region, used to understand and improve the site.
- Local storage: your most recent QR code design, saved on your device so it survives a page refresh. You can clear this at any time through your browser settings.
- Contact details: if you email us or use the contact form, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to you.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We and our partners use cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic and, where applicable, serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not stop the QR code generator from working.
5. Advertising and Google AdSense
QRcodeUniverse is free to use and is supported by advertising. We may display ads served by third-party vendors, including Google.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we and our advertising partners rely on consent for the use of cookies and data for personalized advertising, in line with applicable law.
6. How we use information
We use the limited data we collect to operate and secure the site, understand aggregate usage, improve features, respond to your enquiries, and display advertising that keeps the service free.
7. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us run the site (such as analytics and advertising partners) and only as needed to provide those services, or where required by law.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email us at hello@qrcodeuniverse.com.
9. Children’s privacy
QRcodeUniverse is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
10. Data security
The site is served over encrypted HTTPS connections. Because your QR content is processed locally and not uploaded, its exposure is inherently minimized.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
