Privacy Policy

In short

• What you type to make a QR code, and any logo you choose, is processed in your browser. It is not sent to us.
• There are no accounts, and we do not ask for your name or email address to make a code.
• The site does not store your codes, on a server or on your device.
• When advertising is shown, advertising partners may collect some data. This is explained below.

What you enter in the generator

The generator is JavaScript that runs in your browser. The text, web addresses, Wi-Fi details, contact details, messages and coordinates you type are used by the open page to draw the code and are kept in its memory only until you clear the form, change the page or close the tab. We do not receive, store, read or log them, and we cannot recover them for you. Download your code before you leave the page if you want to keep it.

The site does not write what you type to browser storage such as local storage or IndexedDB. When you download or copy a code, your browser or system may keep a copy in its downloads folder or clipboard history, which is outside our control. Downloaded files are named after the kind of code only, never after what you entered.

A logo you add

A logo file you choose is read from your device by your browser, shrunk in memory and drawn onto the code there. It is not uploaded. It is embedded in the SVG file you download, so share that file only if you are happy to share the logo with it.

Your location

The location code has a Use my location button. When you press it, your browser asks for permission, and if you agree it gives the page your position, which fills in the latitude and longitude. The position is used on the page only and is not sent to us. If you refuse, nothing is read.

Information collected automatically

Like any website, the servers that deliver this site (our hosting provider) may record technical details of each request, such as your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, and your browser type. These logs are used to keep the service running and secure and to diagnose errors. They do not contain what you type into the generator, because that is never sent.

The site uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. It records page views with the page address, the referring site, and coarse details such as country, browser, operating system and device type. Vercel states that it does not use cookies and does not follow you from one site to another. It never sees what you type into the generator.

The fonts of the site are served from the site itself, so reading a page does not send a request to a font provider.

Cookies and advertising

The site itself does not set cookies. The site may be funded by advertising, and when ads are shown they are served by a third party such as Google AdSense. Advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad and, where permitted, show ads based on your interests. We do not control and cannot access the data these partners collect, and nothing you type into the generator is shared with them.

Where the law requires your consent for such technologies, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, ads that rely on them are shown only after you consent. You can manage personalised advertising from Google through Google’s Ads Settings or through aboutads.info, and your browser lets you block or delete cookies.

The codes you make

A QR code is not encrypted. Anyone who scans a code you have printed or shared can read everything stored in it, including a Wi-Fi password or a phone number. Share a code only with the people who are meant to see its content.

Children

The site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we do not collect your content or create profiles, we hold very little data about visitors. Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, or to object to its use. To make a request, or to ask anything about this policy, use the contact page.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles data, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top.
