QR & Barcode Scanner Privacy Policy

QR & Barcode Scanner — how the app handles your information.

This privacy policy describes how the QR & Barcode Scanner mobile app ("the app"), developed by DAMJAN DULOVIĆ PR VHIRTY, PIB 115739720, Serbia ("Vhirty", "we"), handles information when you use it.

Information we do not collect

The app does not require an account, does not collect your name, email address, or any personal identification information. Scanned and created QR/barcode data is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted to our servers.

Camera access

The app requests camera permission solely to scan QR codes and barcodes in real time. Camera images are processed entirely on your device and are never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Third-party services

Advertising (Google AdMob). The app displays ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as an advertising ID) and approximate location to deliver relevant ads. This data is processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization).

Product lookup (Open Food Facts). When you scan a product barcode, the app sends only the scanned barcode number to the Open Food Facts API to retrieve product information. No personal data is included in this request.

Analytics and crash reporting

The app does not use any analytics or crash reporting SDK.

Data storage

QR codes and barcodes you scan or create are stored locally on your device using a local database. This data stays on your device and is deleted if you uninstall the app or clear app data. We do not have access to this data.

Permissions

The app may request the following permissions:

• Camera — to scan QR codes and barcodes.
• Internet / network state — to load ads and look up product information.
• Storage (on older Android versions) — to save generated QR code images to your gallery.

Data retention

Your scans and created codes stay on your device until you uninstall the app or clear its data. Data handled by Google AdMob falls under Google's privacy policy, and product lookups under the Open Food Facts privacy policy.

Your rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection (Zakon o zaštiti podataka o ličnosti), you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, and to object to how it is used.

We hold no server copy of your data, so you use most of these rights directly on your device (by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it) or with Google for ads. For anything else, write to hello@vhirty.com. We reply within 30 days. You can also file a complaint with the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection (Poverenik za informacije od javnog značaja i zaštitu podataka o ličnosti).

Children's privacy

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
