- No account or registration is required.
- Camera frames and images you select are analyzed on your device.
- Scan history and generated-code data are stored locally on your device.
- The current App does not include advertising, analytics, attribution, or cloud-sync SDKs.
- We do not sell personal information.
1. App and responsible entity
This Privacy Policy applies solely to My QR & Barcode scanner (the “App”), Android package
com.myqrbarcodescanner.app. The App is published and operated by Prymaxx Ventures Inc
and developed by Christopher Muncey.
2. Scope and core privacy approach
The App is a local-first QR code and barcode scanner and generator. It does not require an account and does not operate a developer-controlled backend for uploading camera frames, selected images, scan history, or generated-code content. “On-device processing” in this Policy means the information is handled inside the App on your device and is not collected by Prymaxx Ventures Inc through a developer-operated server.
Codes can contain information that you or another person encoded, including names, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, website addresses, messages, calendar details, location coordinates, product identifiers, or payment-related links. The App treats the encoded content as user-provided content and processes it only to provide the features described below.
3. Information the App accesses or processes
3.1 Live camera frames
When you grant camera permission and open the scanner, the App uses CameraX and bundled Google ML Kit barcode scanning components to analyze live frames on your device. Camera frames are used to detect supported codes and are not saved to the App’s history or uploaded to Prymaxx Ventures Inc.
3.2 Images you choose
You can use the Android system photo picker to select one or more images for code detection. The App receives access only to the images you select and analyzes them on your device. On supported Android versions, the App does not request broad photo, media, or storage permission. A reference to a selected image may be kept with a history item so the App can show the source preview while Android continues to permit access.
3.3 Scan and generated-code records
The App stores the following information in its local Room database to provide history, favorites, search, filters, and result features:
- raw and display values encoded in a scanned or generated code;
- barcode format and detected content type;
- source, such as camera, gallery, batch import, or created in the App;
- creation time and favorite status;
- an optional selected-image URI reference;
- generator template and related local metadata.
3.4 Information you enter to create a code
Depending on the template you choose, you may enter text, a website address, Wi-Fi network details, contact or business-card information, a phone number, email or SMS content, calendar details, or a social or payment profile link. This information is encoded into the QR code you create and may be saved in local history. You decide what to enter and whether to export or share it.
3.5 Preferences and language
The App stores preferences such as beep, vibration, automatic copy, search engine, appearance, language-selection status, and Android per-app language settings locally using Android DataStore and system language services.
3.6 Clipboard
The App reads clipboard text only after you tap the create-from-clipboard control. It writes code content to the clipboard when you tap Copy or when you have enabled automatic copying after a successful scan. Clipboard data may also be visible to Android and other apps according to your operating-system settings.
4. How information is used
The information described above is used only to:
- detect and classify QR codes and barcodes from the camera or images you select;
- display scan results and provide type-aware actions;
- create QR codes from information you enter;
- save, search, sort, filter, favorite, and delete local history;
- export a generated code as a PNG image or prepare it for sharing;
- provide optional beep, vibration, automatic-copy, theme, language, and search-engine preferences;
- prepare an external action that you explicitly request.
Prymaxx Ventures Inc does not use code contents for behavioral advertising, profiling, analytics, or sale to data brokers.
5. Permissions and device capabilities
- Camera: used for live code scanning. If denied, live scanning is unavailable, but you can still select images through the system photo picker.
- Internet: declared to support secure web-related capabilities and destinations. The current App does not use this permission to upload scan history or images to a Prymaxx Ventures Inc server.
- Network state: allows connection awareness for web-related actions.
- Vibration: used only when optional scan-success vibration is enabled.
- Flash/torch: controls the camera flash during scanning when your device supports it.
- System photo picker: grants access only to images you explicitly select.
- FileProvider and system file interfaces: securely provide temporary access to code images when you choose to save or share them.
7. Advertising, analytics, accounts, and purchases
The current version reviewed for this Policy does not include advertising, analytics, attribution, account registration, cloud synchronization, or Google Play Billing SDKs. If a future version adds any of these capabilities, this Policy and the App’s Google Play Data safety disclosures will be updated to describe the actual data practices before or when the change is released.
8. Data retention, backup, and deletion
- Camera frames: analyzed transiently and not retained by the App.
- Selected images: the App does not make a full private copy as part of normal scanning; Android controls continued access to the selected source URI.
- History: remains in the local App database until you delete individual items, selected items, or all history, or until you clear app data or uninstall the App.
- Preferences: remain until changed, app data is cleared, or the App is uninstalled.
- Exported or shared files: remain in the destination you selected and must be deleted there separately.
The App’s current Android backup configuration includes preferences in cloud backup. Scan-history databases are excluded from cloud backup but may be included in Android device-to-device transfer. Backup and transfer availability depend on your device, Android version, Google account, and provider settings. Copies held by a device or backup provider are governed by that provider.
9. Security
The App uses Android app sandboxing, scoped system pickers, secure FileProvider sharing, and HTTPS-only app configuration to help protect information. Core scanning and generation are performed on the device. You are responsible for protecting access to your device, clipboard, exported files, and any codes you share. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.
10. Your choices
- Grant, deny, or revoke camera permission through Android Settings.
- Choose exactly which images the App can access through the system photo picker.
- Turn beep, vibration, and automatic clipboard copying on or off.
- Review code content before opening, sharing, saving, or sending it to another app.
- Delete local history in the App or clear all App storage through Android Settings.
- Delete exported files from the storage location or receiving service where you placed them.
11. Children’s privacy
The App is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children under 13 or the equivalent minimum age in the user’s jurisdiction. Prymaxx Ventures Inc does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated server. If you believe a child has provided information to us outside the App, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
12. International processing
Core code scanning, generation, history, and preferences are processed locally. Information may be processed in another country only when you direct it to an external app or service, or when your device or backup provider performs a backup or device transfer. Those providers determine their own processing locations and safeguards.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, legal requirements, or data practices change. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and publish the updated version at the App’s privacy-policy URL. Material changes will be communicated as required by law.
