Disclosure

This page is intended for Google Play Store privacy policy disclosure for the ScanMate QR app.

1. Information We Collect and Process

ScanMate QR does not require account registration and does not directly collect personal information such as name, email address, or phone number.

The app uses your device camera to scan QR codes. QR scan results are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.

The app uses third-party services such as Google AdMob and Google Firebase, which may process certain device and usage data for advertising, analytics, and crash reporting purposes.

  • Device identifiers (including advertising ID)
  • App usage data and interaction events
  • Diagnostics and crash logs
  • Approximate location (via ad services where applicable)

2. Ads and Ad Consent (Google AdMob)

This app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may process device identifiers, ad interaction data, approximate location, and diagnostics to provide personalized or non-personalized ads.

Where required by law, users may be shown an in-app consent form for ads using Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP).

3. Analytics and Crash Reporting (Firebase)

The app uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand usage patterns and improve stability.

  • Firebase Analytics (usage statistics)
  • Firebase Crashlytics (crash diagnostics)

4. Local Device Storage

The app may store QR scan history and user preferences locally on your device. This data remains on your device unless manually deleted.

5. Permissions and Device Access

ScanMate QR requires camera permission to scan QR codes. The camera is only used for scanning functionality.

The app also requires internet access for ads and analytics services.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Some information may be processed by trusted third-party service providers such as Google AdMob and Firebase for advertising and analytics purposes.

7. Data Security

We use reputable third-party services and reasonable safeguards to protect information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

8. Children's Privacy

The app is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
