Privacy Policy

Introduction
qrcodeera.com (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “qrcodeera”) provides online QR code generation, customization, hosting, and related services. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, your choices, and how we protect the information when you visit or use qrcodeera.com (the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect
   We collect information in three main categories: (A) information you provide directly, (B) information we collect automatically, and (C) information from third-party sources.

1. Information You Provide

• Account information: name, email address, password (hashed), company, billing details when you register or purchase a paid plan.
• QR code content and settings: data you submit to generate QR codes (URLs, vCard/contact details, WiFi SSID/password, form links, images, and other content), customization options (colors, logos, frames), and dynamic QR configuration.
• Support and communications: messages you send to our support team, feedback, surveys, and other correspondence.
• Payment information: when you purchase a paid plan or add-on, we collect billing information necessary to process payments. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers; payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors (see Section 6).

1. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: pages visited, features used, time and date of access, IP address, device and browser information, operating system, referring/exit pages, and clickstream data.
• Analytics and performance data: event logs, error reports, load times, and other technical metrics.
• Cookies and similar technologies: cookies, local storage, and web beacons used to remember preferences, authenticate sessions, and analyze site usage. See Section 7 for details and choices.

1. Information from Third Parties

• Third-party integrations: when you connect third-party services (for example, cloud storage or URL shorteners) or sign in using social logins, we may receive information from those providers as permitted by their APIs.
• Public sources: publicly available information used to enrich or verify data.

1. How We Use Your Information
   We use information to provide, maintain, and improve the Service and for the purposes described below:

• Provide and operate the Service: generate QR codes, deliver files for download (PNG, SVG, PDF, etc.), host dynamic QR redirects, and serve customer accounts.
• Account management: create and maintain user accounts, authenticate users, and provide billing and subscription management.
• Customer support: respond to requests, troubleshoot issues, and send administrative messages.
• Analytics and product improvement: analyze usage trends, diagnose and fix issues, and improve features and performance.
• Security and fraud prevention: detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, spam, unauthorized access, and other security risks.
• Marketing and communications: send transactional emails, billing receipts, and (with consent where required) promotional messages about updates, offers, and new features. You may opt out of marketing emails (see Section 9).
• Legal and compliance: comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect the rights and safety of users and others.

1. Content and QR Data — Ownership and Access
   

• You retain ownership of any content you submit to generate QR codes (URLs, images, contact info, WiFi credentials, etc.). By submitting content, you grant qrcodeera a limited license to store, process, and serve that content for the purpose of providing the Service (including generating and hosting QR codes and redirects for dynamic codes).
• For dynamic QR codes or hosted content, we may store the target URLs, redirect records, or hosted files to enable redirection, analytics, and file delivery.
• Sensitive content: avoid submitting highly sensitive personal information (such as national ID numbers, medical records) unless necessary and permitted by law. WiFi passwords and other credentials are treated as customer content—store and display them responsibly and consider using guest networks where appropriate.

1. Sharing and Disclosure
   
   We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: with vendors and third-party providers who perform services on our behalf (payment processors, hosting providers, email delivery, analytics providers, CDN, and customer support platforms). These providers are contractually required to use data only for the performance of services and to protect it.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to respond to claims that content violates rights.
• Safety and protection: to protect and defend our rights, property, safety, or that of our users or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets (users will be notified of any material change in ownership or use of personal data).
• Aggregated or de-identified data: we may share anonymized or aggregated information that does not identify any individual.

1. Third-Party Links and Services
   The Service may include links to external sites and services not operated by qrcodeera. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to data collected by qrcodeera. Review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing personal information.
2. Payments and Billing
   We use trusted third-party payment processors to handle payment card transactions. We do not store full card numbers on our systems. The payment processor’s collection and use of your payment information is governed by their privacy policy. By making a purchase, you authorize qrcodeera and our payment processor to share the necessary information to complete the transaction.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
   We use cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality, analyze usage, and personalize your experience.

• Essential cookies: required for core functionality (session, authentication).
• Analytics cookies: used to collect aggregate usage data (Google Analytics or similar).
• Preference/marketing cookies: used to remember your preferences and deliver marketing content.
  You can control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of certain analytics cookies using industry-standard opt-out mechanisms (for example, Google Analytics opt-out). Disabling essential cookies may affect core functionality of the Service.

1. Data Retention
   We retain personal information and user content as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for backup and archival purposes. For dynamic QR code and analytics data, we retain records according to plan-specific retention policies—see your account settings or contact support for exact retention periods. If you delete your account, we will generally delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal or legitimate business purposes.
2. Your Rights and Choices
   Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access: request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Deletion: request deletion of your personal information (subject to retention requirements).
• Portability: request a copy of your personal data in a commonly used format.
• Restrict processing or object to processing: in certain circumstances.
• Opt out: unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe link in emails or via account settings.
  To exercise rights, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests. Some requests may be limited by applicable law or contractual obligations.

1. Security
   We implement industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Examples include encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, secure hosting, and regular security assessments. However, no system is completely secure—while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Effective Use and Best Practices

• Do not include highly sensitive personal data in QR codes unless necessary and compliant with applicable laws.
• For WiFi QR codes and credentials, consider using guest networks or temporary passwords for public distribution.
  
  We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing transparent information about how we collect, use, and share data. If you have any questions or want to exercise your rights, please contact qrcodeera@gmail.com
