At qrs.art, we value your privacy and are committed to keeping your experience simple and secure. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website to generate QR codes. We aim to be transparent about our practices, which are designed to minimize data collection and avoid tracking.
1. What We Do
qrs.art is a tool that lets you create QR codes directly in your browser. We don't track your activity, and we don't collect personal information unless you choose to create an account and opt-in to save your QR codes on our servers.
2. Information We Collect
Local Data
QR Code Data: When you generate a QR code, we use IndexedDB, a local storage feature in your browser, to temporarily save the essential data needed to create and display your QR code. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us unless you opt-in to server storage (see below).
No Tracking: We don't use cookies, analytics tools, or any form of tracking to monitor your activity on qrs.art.
Optional Account Features
Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we'll collect your email address and a password to set up and secure your account.
Server-Saved QR Codes: With an account, you can opt-in to save your QR codes on our servers. This is entirely optional, and we only store the QR code data you explicitly choose to save. If you don't opt-in, your data stays local to your browser.
3. How We Use Your Information
Local Data: The QR code data stored in IndexedDB is only used to generate and display your QR codes in your browser. It's not sent to us or anyone else unless you opt-in to server storage.
Account Data: If you create an account and opt-in to server storage, we use your email address to manage your account (e.g., login or password resets) and store your QR codes so you can access them later.
No Advertising: We don't sell, share, or use your data for advertising purposes—period.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
No Third-Party Sharing: We don't share your data with third parties, including advertisers, marketers, or data brokers.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, but only to the extent necessary.
5. Your Choices
Local Storage: You can clear the QR code data stored in IndexedDB at any time by clearing your browser's data or cache. This won't affect your ability to use qrs.art.
Account and Server Storage: If you create an account and opt-in to save QR codes on our servers, you can delete your account or individual QR codes at any time. Once deleted, we'll remove your data from our servers.
Opt-In Only: Saving QR codes to our servers is optional. If you don't create an account or opt-in, no data leaves your device.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect any data you choose to store with us. If you opt-in to server storage, your QR codes and account details are stored securely using industry-standard encryption. However, no system is 100% secure, and we encourage you to keep your account credentials safe.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the “Effective Date” at the top and post the revised policy here. Your continued use of qrs.art after the update means you accept the changes.
