Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Scanora ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our QR Code Scanner & Generator mobile application ("App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
1. Information We Collect
a. Camera Access
Scanora requires access to your device's camera solely to scan QR codes and barcodes. Camera data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
b. Storage Access
The App may access your device storage to allow you to scan QR codes from saved images and to save generated QR codes. This data remains on your device.
c. Scan History & Favorites
Your scan history and favorite items are stored locally on your device using an on-device database. This data is never uploaded to any server.
d. App Preferences
Settings such as theme mode and other preferences are stored locally on your device.
2. Third-Party Services
a. Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the App. AdMob may collect and use certain data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, including:
- Device identifiers (Advertising ID)
- IP address
- Device and app information
- Interaction data with ads
For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from partner apps.
b. Google ML Kit
The App uses Google ML Kit for barcode scanning. All ML Kit processing happens on-device. No image or scan data is sent to Google's servers.
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
We want to be clear about what we do not do:
- We do not collect personal information such as your name, email, or phone number.
- We do not track your location.
- We do not upload your scan history, QR codes, or images to any server.
- We do not share your data with third parties, except as described in the AdMob section above.
4. Data Security
All user data (scan history, favorites, preferences) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate any servers that store your personal data. The security of this data depends on your device's own security measures.
5. Children's Privacy
Scanora is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
6. Your Choices
- Ad Personalization: You can opt out of personalized ads by adjusting your device's advertising settings (Settings > Google > Ads on Android).
- Advertising ID: You can reset or delete your Advertising ID from your device settings.
- Clear Data: You can clear your scan history and favorites from within the App or by clearing the App's data in your device settings.
- Permissions: You can revoke camera and storage permissions at any time from your device settings.
7. Changes to This Policy
