QR Boom Privacy Policy
Last updated February 1, 2026.
Your privacy is important to us at QR Boom. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your information when you use our website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use the Service.
Account Information
When you create an account we collect details such as your name, email address, and any profile information returned by third-party authentication providers (e.g., Google, Facebook, GitHub) if you sign up using OAuth.
Payment & Billing
If you purchase a paid plan or other paid feature, we collect billing information necessary to process the transaction, such as billing name and email. Payment card data is collected and processed by our third-party payment processor (for example Stripe) and is not stored by QR Boom except where explicitly stated.
User Content and QR Code Data
We collect the content you upload or provide (for example, the destination URLs, files, metadata, and custom settings for QR codes) as well as usage metadata (creation date, scan counts, IP addresses associated with scans, and related analytics).
Scan Data & Scan Links (Short Links)
When a QR code created through the Service is scanned, we may collect scan-related information such as the timestamp, the scanning device's IP address, approximate geolocation derived from the IP, the user agent, and the referrer. If you enable analytics for a QR code, QR Boom may also generate a scan link (also referred to as a short link) that redirects to the destination you configured. Scan links (short links) function as redirectors and may be used in place of the original destination for sharing or tracking. We use scan data to provide analytics, detect fraud or abuse, and improve the Service.
If you request deletion of your account or associated QR codes we will delete or anonymize scan data and scan link mappings as required by law and our retention policies. Note that cached or aggregated analytics may persist in anonymized form for internal analytics or backups.
Usage & Analytics
We automatically collect information about your use of the Service, including IP address, device and browser information, pages and features used, and event and performance data. We may use cookies and similar technologies to collect this information.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and provide the features of the Service, including to:
- Provide, personalize, and improve the Service.
- Process payments, manage subscriptions, and prevent fraud.
- Provide customer support and communicate important notices.
- Analyze usage and trends to improve the Service and for internal analytics.
- Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.
3. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third parties in the following cases:
- Service providers: to process payments (e.g., Stripe), provide hosting, analytics, email delivery, and other services necessary to run the Service.
- OAuth Providers: when you sign up or log in using a third-party provider we receive profile information you authorize and share data with that provider as required for authentication.
- Legal reasons: to comply with laws, respond to legal processes, or protect rights and safety.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (we will notify affected users where required by law).
4. Cookies and Tracking
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and improve the Service, to analyze usage, and to deliver relevant messages. You can control cookie settings via your browser or device settings, but disabling cookies may limit the functionality of the Service.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information and User Content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You can request deletion of your account and data; some information may persist in backup storage or as required by law.
6. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. International Transfers
QR Boom may process and store information in the United States and other countries. If you are located outside of the United States, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
8. Children
The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or a higher age where required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, update, export, or delete your personal information. You may also have rights to restrict or object to certain processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to such requests.
10. Third-Party Links and Content
The Service may include links to third-party websites, services, or content. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties; review their policies before providing information.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes we may provide additional notice as required by law.
