Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2026

1. Who We Are

QRtracer ("we", "us", "our") is a free QR code generator with optional scan tracking. Here's what we collect and why.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Account holders

When you create an account, we store your email address and a hashed password. We need this to run your dashboard.

2.2 QR code scan analytics

When someone scans a tracked QR code, we collect aggregated, anonymised data including: approximate country and city (derived from IP, which is not stored in identifiable form), device type, browser, operating system, and timestamp. We do not collect personal data from scanners — no names, emails, or persistent identifiers.

2.3 QR generation events

We log anonymous generation events (URL domain, source page, timestamp) to improve the product. No personally identifiable information is stored for anonymous users.

3. How We Use Your Data

To provide and improve QRtracer's services
To display scan analytics in your dashboard
To send transactional emails (verification, password reset)

We don't sell your data or use it for ads. Full stop.

4. Data Processor

We use Supabase as our database and authentication provider. Supabase acts as a data processor on our behalf. Data is stored in EU-based infrastructure.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

EU/EEA residents can:

Access their personal data
Correct or delete their data
Export their data
Object to processing
Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@qrtracer.io.

6. Cookies

QRtracer uses essential cookies for authentication (session tokens). We use localStorage to store user preferences (e.g., theme, view mode). We do not use third-party tracking cookies.

7. Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. We keep aggregated scan stats for as long as the service runs. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we'll email registered users about anything significant.
