1. Introduction
Welcome to onlineqrgenerator.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information when you interact with our free online QR code generation service.
Unlike typical online tools, our platform is designed from the ground up to operate without centralized databases. We do not require registration, subscription, or user profiles, meaning you can generate high-resolution codes completely anonymously.
2. Browser-First Generation (Zero Data Retention)
Technical Privacy Note: All encoding calculations, colors, templates, logos, and frame customizations occur directly on your own device using local JavaScript. The data you enter to create a QR code never leaves your browser.
When you enter a URL, Wi-Fi password, or digital contact card (vCard), these inputs are rendered onto a canvas element in your browser window. Since the generation engine is entirely client-side, we have no mechanism to see, record, store, or sell the information embedded inside your generated QR codes.
3. Information Collection
Because our service operates entirely within your browser, we collect:
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or passwords.
- No Input Text/Payloads: The content you embed in the QR code (such as URLs, message drafts, or cryptocurrency wallet addresses) is never transmitted to our servers.
- No Local History Uploads: Your generated codes are saved in your browser's local storage so you can retrieve them in the 'Recent QR Codes' tab. This history is stored strictly on your device and can be cleared instantly.
5. Links to Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to external sites (such as GitHub, Discord, or various industry reference links). Please note that once you leave our platform, we have no control over the privacy guidelines of third-party portals. We encourage you to review the policies of any external website you visit.
6. GDPR and CCPA Compliance
As a privacy-first web application, we fully support the rules outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Since we do not hold, process, or transmit personal data on our servers, there is no database from which we can retrieve or export your records. You have absolute ownership of your data, which resides entirely within your local browser's storage and device memory.
