Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

GenerateQRcode.org ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our QR code generation service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us:

• Purchase Information: Stripe processes your email address, payment method, transaction amount, and payment status
• QR Code Content: Content is processed in your browser. Checkout receives it only long enough to calculate a one-way hash and does not add the content to Stripe metadata
• Usage Data: Privacy-focused site analytics may record pages, approximate region, device type, and conversion events

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Generate and deliver QR codes
• Process payments and send receipts
• Send service-related communications
• Improve and optimize our service
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. Data Retention

QR Code Content: We do not retain the content encoded in your static QR code. The pending purchase remains in session storage in your browser tab; Stripe receives only a one-way hash used to match the paid download.

Payment Information: Payment details are processed and stored securely by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store your full credit card number.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Stripe (payments), cloud hosting providers
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

6. Cookies and Tracking

The site stores your explicit language and theme choices locally in your browser. We do not use third-party advertising cookies and our QR files contain no scan tracking.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@generateqrcode.org.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in compliance with applicable laws.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data transmissions are encrypted using TLS/SSL.

10. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
