Privacy Policy
At GenQR AI, your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how your information is handled when you use our free QR Code Generator web application.
1. Local Processing & Zero Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data.
Our application is built on a "client-side" architecture. This means that all data processing occurs entirely locally within your web browser on your personal device. Specifically:
- Text and Data Entries: Any URLs, text, contact information (vCards), Wi-Fi passwords, or Bitcoin addresses you type into our forms are never sent to our servers.
- Uploaded Images: When you upload a logo to customize your QR code, the image file is processed locally in your browser's memory. It is not uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere on our backend.
- Generated Files: The generated QR codes (PNG, SVG, PDF) are compiled on your device. We do not keep logs or copies of the QR codes you generate.
2. Third-Party Services & Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
To provide you with a fast and reliable experience, our application loads certain necessary functional scripts (like icons and rendering libraries) from third-party Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), such as unpkg.com and cdnjs.com.
When your browser requests these scripts, these CDNs may collect standard web traffic logs, which temporarily include your IP address, browser type, and timestamp. This is a fundamental mechanism of how the internet works. We do not link this data to any personal identities.
Additionally, we use the following third-party analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website and improve our services:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to collect anonymized data about website usage, including pages visited, duration of visit, and geographic location. This data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
- Umami Analytics: We use Umami, an open-source analytics service, to collect anonymized website usage data. The data is self-hosted and not shared with third parties.
- Ahrefs Analytics: We use Ahrefs for SEO and website performance analytics, which may collect anonymized usage data.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our core QR Code generator tool operates entirely client-side and does not use tracking cookies, targeted advertising, or behavioral analytics tools within the tool itself. Your usage of the QR generator remains private and untracked by us.
However, as noted above, we do use third-party analytics services on our website (including this privacy policy page and other informational pages) to understand visitor behavior and improve our services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect anonymized usage data.
We do not use behavioral retargeting or build user profiles for advertising purposes within our QR code generator tool.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
To support the continued development and maintenance of our free QR Code Generator, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to our website and other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com/) or by opting out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
5. Security
Because your sensitive data (like vCards or Wi-Fi passwords) never leaves your device, the risk of data interception or server breaches regarding your input data is fundamentally eliminated. However, please ensure your own local network and device are secure.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes to how the application functions regarding user data, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
