Privacy Policy & Terms

Privacy Policy — QRSecure

1) Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how QRSecure (the “App”) processes information when you use it. The App is designed to operate with anonymous usage data only.

2) What we do — and what we don’t

The App scans QR codes and shows risk indicators based on third-party checks (notably Google Safe Browsing).
We do not collect or store personal data you type, scan, or view in the App (including the full contents of QR codes).
We process only anonymous usage events (e.g., a scan occurred; result: “no known risks” / “potential risk”; timestamps; app/OS version; non-identifying diagnostics) strictly for stability, debugging, and product improvement.

If a third-party SDK inherently treats certain technical data as “personal data” in some jurisdictions (e.g., IP or device signals), we configure SDKs to minimize/disable such collection where feasible and rely on appropriate legal bases or consent where required.

3) Data we process

Anonymous usage/diagnostic data such as:

Event metadata (scan started/completed), high-level outcome (no known risks / potential risk type), approximate timestamps;
App version, OS version, non-identifying diagnostics and crash logs.

We do not process: accounts, contact details, precise location, or the full text/payload you scan; nor marketing profiles.

4) Google Safe Browsing

We use Google Safe Browsing to check URLs for potential threats (malware, social engineering, unwanted software).

Checks may be performed from your device to Google’s endpoints to obtain a classification.
We do not store the scanned URL on our servers.
Results are probabilistic; false positives/negatives may occur. Absence of warnings does not guarantee safety.
Where a warning is based on Safe Browsing, we display “Notice provided by Google” and may link to Google’s advisory page.

5) Analytics & SDKs (privacy-lean configuration)

Google Analytics — aggregated usage metrics (privacy-enhancing settings where available, e.g., IP anonymization).
Mixpanel — event analytics for debugging and product quality; anonymous events only.
Google Ads (AdMob) — if ads are shown, we request non-personalized ads where required and apply regional consent flows when applicable. AdMob may collect device/network signals per its policies.

Where platform settings or regional laws require it, you can control analytics/ads in the App’s Settings; disabling non-essential SDKs may reduce feature quality.

6) Legal bases (where applicable)

We rely on legitimate interests for core functionality, security, debugging and statistics using anonymous/aggregated data, and on consent where required for advertising or certain SDK features. These bases are interpreted under the laws that apply to you, subject to your mandatory rights.

We share data only with our processors necessary to operate the App (e.g., Google/Alphabet entities for Analytics, Safe Browsing and AdMob; Mixpanel, Inc.). Data may be processed internationally subject to recognized safeguards where required.

8) Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights over personal data. Because the App is designed without storing identified personal data, those rights may be limited in practice. Where platform privacy controls exist (e.g., OS-level settings or in-App toggles), you may use them at any time.

9) Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

10) Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. By accessing or using the App after an update, you acknowledge and accept the updated Policy. We may display an in-App notice at our discretion.

Terms & Conditions — QRSecure

1) Acceptance

By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2) License

A limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license is granted to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

3) Acceptable use

You must not misuse the App, interfere with its operation, reverse-engineer it (except where permitted by law), circumvent security, or use it to violate any law or third-party rights.

4) Results & Safe Browsing notices

The App provides indicative risk signals for URLs using third-party checks, including Google Safe Browsing.
No guarantee: Results are informational and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. The absence of warnings does not guarantee safety. You decide whether to proceed.
Where a warning is based on Safe Browsing, the App will display “Notice provided by Google” and may link to Google’s advisory page.

5) Third-party services

The App may integrate or link to third-party services (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel, AdMob, external websites). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, security, or policies.

6) Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and all outputs are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or availability.
