Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 31, 2025
Data Collection: MINIMAL
QR & Barcode Generator processes everything in your browser. We collect no personal information, no tracking cookies, and only basic analytics for performance monitoring (see Third-Party Services below).
How It Works
All QR code and barcode generation happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device or gets sent to our servers.
Local Storage
We use browser storage for convenience features only:
- IndexedDB: Your generation history (stored locally in your browser, never uploaded)
- localStorage: UI preferences (theme, default settings)
You can clear this data anytime via your browser settings or the "Clear History" button in the History page.
