QRCodeForge

1. Information We Do Not Collect

QRCodeForge is designed with your privacy as a priority. Our core functionality—generating QR codes—operates entirely within your web browser on your local device.

• No Data Storage of QR Content: We do not store, save, or transmit any data you enter into the QR code generator. This includes text, URLs, or file content (for .txt files, we encode the content; for .pdf files, we encode the filename). All QR code generation processing happens client-side, on your computer or device.
• No Personal Information Tracking for Core Use: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information to use the primary features of QRCodeForge.

2. Information We May Collect (Through Cookies)

To enhance your experience and improve our website, we may use cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, we use a cookie to remember your cookie consent preferences. Without this, you might be asked for consent on every page.
• Analytics Cookies (If Implemented and Consented): We might, in the future, use analytics tools (e.g., a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use our site. This would help us understand user behavior (e.g., popular features, areas for improvement) and improve QRCodeForge. This data would not personally identify you, and its collection would depend on your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

3. How We Use Information

• Cookie Consent Data: To remember your choices regarding cookie usage.
• Aggregated Analytics Data (if applicable): To understand website traffic, user engagement, and to improve the functionality and user experience of QRCodeForge.

4. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites (e.g., in the contact section if we link to GitHub). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies when you visit them.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store the data you input for QR code generation, the security of that data primarily relies on your own device and browser security. For any data we might handle (like cookie preferences), we take reasonable steps to protect it, but no internet transmission is 100% secure.

6. Children's Privacy

QRCodeForge is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
