Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

1. Introduction

FreeQRCodeGenerator.ai ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free QR code generator service at freeqrcodegenerator.ai (the "Service").

We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly what happens with your data when you use our Service. The short version: we don't collect or store the data you enter to create QR codes.

2. Information We Don't Collect

Our QR code generator is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, process, or transmit:

  • URLs or website addresses you encode in QR codes
  • Text content you enter for text-based QR codes
  • Email addresses, subjects, or message bodies for email QR codes
  • Phone numbers for phone or SMS QR codes
  • WiFi network names (SSIDs), passwords, or security settings
  • Contact information (names, phones, emails, companies) for vCard QR codes
  • Any customization preferences (colors, sizes, error correction levels)
  • The QR code images you generate or download

Your data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

3. Browser-Based Processing

All QR code generation happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

  • Local Processing: The QR code library runs in your browser, not on our servers
  • No Server Communication: Your input data is never sent over the internet to us
  • No Storage: We have no database of QR codes or user data
  • Immediate Privacy: When you close or refresh the page, your entered data is gone
  • Offline Capability: Once the page loads, QR generation can work without internet

You can verify this by using your browser's developer tools to monitor network requests while using our Service.

4. Information We May Collect

While we don't collect your QR code content, we may automatically collect limited technical information:

  • Server Logs: Standard web server logs may include IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and access times
  • Aggregate Usage Data: Anonymous statistics about page views and general usage patterns
  • Error Reports: Technical error information to help us fix bugs (no personal data)

5. Cookies and Local Storage

We minimize the use of cookies and browser storage:

  • Essential Cookies: We may use minimal cookies required for the website to function properly
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies to track your activity across websites
  • No Personal Data: Cookies we use do not contain personal information
  • Local Storage: We do not store your QR code data in browser local storage

You can configure your browser to block cookies, though this should not affect our QR generator functionality.

6. Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics services to understand how visitors use our website:

  • Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized
  • We track general metrics like page views, not individual user behavior
  • Analytics cannot identify you personally
  • We do not track which QR codes you create or their content

This helps us improve the Service by understanding which features are most useful.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

  • Google Fonts: For typography (Inter font family)
  • Cloudflare CDN: For delivering JavaScript libraries
  • Web Hosting Provider: For serving the website

These services may collect their own technical data according to their privacy policies. We recommend reviewing:

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures:

  • HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are encrypted using TLS/SSL
  • No Data Storage: The best protection for your data is that we don't store it
  • Client-Side Processing: QR generation in your browser means your data never travels
  • Regular Updates: We keep our systems and libraries updated for security

Since we don't collect your QR code content, there's nothing sensitive for us to protect or that could be breached.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is suitable for users of all ages because:

  • We do not collect personal information from any users, including children
  • No account creation or registration is required
  • No personal data is stored or processed on our servers

Parents and guardians can feel confident that their children's data is not being collected when using our QR code generator.

10. International Users

Our Service is available globally. Because we don't collect or store personal data:

  • GDPR (EU): No personal data processing means minimal GDPR concerns
  • CCPA (California): We have no personal information to sell or disclose
  • Other Regulations: Our privacy-first approach aligns with global privacy laws

Users from any country can use our Service with confidence that their data remains private.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • Changes in our practices or services
  • New features that affect privacy
  • Legal or regulatory requirements
  • Improvements to our privacy practices

We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
