Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Overview
QRStylist ("we," "our," or "the Service") is a free QR code generator. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
Data We Collect
QR Code Generation (Client-Side)
We do not collect or store the data you enter when creating QR codes. All QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. Your URLs, WiFi passwords, contact information, and other QR code content never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects information such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
- Referral source (how you found us)
This data is aggregated and anonymized. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Cookies
We use cookies for:
- Essential cookies: To remember your theme preference (light/dark mode)
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics cookies to understand site usage
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense cookies for ad personalization
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics ( Privacy Policy)
- Google AdSense: For advertising ( How Google uses cookies)
- Vercel: For website hosting ( Privacy Policy)
Data Retention
Since we don't collect or store your QR code data, there is nothing to retain or delete. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' data retention settings (currently 14 months).
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws (such as GDPR or CCPA) including:
- Right to access your personal data
- Right to rectification of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
- Right to restrict processing
- Right to data portability
- Right to object to processing
Since we don't store personal data from QR code generation, most of these rights don't apply to that data. For analytics data, you can use Google's tools to manage your data.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
