1. Introduction
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what limited information getqrcodegenerator.com
(“the Site,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. The policy covers all pages
under the getqrcodegenerator.com domain and any sub-pages that link here.
2. Information we collect
We do not require registration and do not store the QR-code data you enter. However, when you browse or generate a code, certain non-personally identifiable information (“Device Information”) is automatically collected: your browser type, language, referring page, approximate location (city/region), and anonymized IP fragments. Device Information is gathered through:
- Cookies & local storage – small text files stored on your device.
- Google Analytics – tracks aggregate usage (e.g., pages visited, time on page).
- Google AdSense – shows ads and measures their performance.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies help us remember basic preferences (dark-mode color scheme) and allow Google services to deliver faster, more relevant content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
4. How we use information
We use Device Information to:
- Monitor overall site performance and fix bugs.
- Limit fraudulent activity (e.g., bot traffic).
- Serve non-intrusive, contextual ads that keep the service free.
We do not sell or rent any data we collect to third parties.
5. Third-party partners
The Site integrates third-party services that have their own privacy policies:
- Google AdSense – ad delivery and measurement (policy).
- Google Analytics – anonymous usage statistics (learn more). We have enabled IP-anonymization.
- YouTube embeds (on FAQ page) – set cookies only if you press play.
6. Your choices & rights
Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. You can:
- Disable or clear cookies in your browser.
- Opt out of Google’s personalized ads through AboutAds.info.
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
- Contact us to request a copy or deletion of any information associated with your IP address.
7. Data retention
Anonymous analytics records are retained for 26 months, the default Google Analytics period. AdSense logs may be kept by Google for up to 18 months. We do not store raw QR-code content after the image is rendered in your browser canvas.
8. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us for prompt removal.
9. Region-specific disclosures
GDPR (EEA/UK)
Our legal basis for processing Device Information is legitimate interest (site security and basic analytics).
CCPA (California)
We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA. California residents may email us to request disclosure or deletion of stored Device Information.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time. The “Last updated” date below reflects the most recent changes. Your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
