QR & Barcode Scanner Launcher

"Data we collect automatically: IP address and phone number (categorised as 'Identifiers' under CCPA), device data such as the brand and model of the device, the operating system, browser version, device dimensions and device settings, user agent, your advertising ID (this refers to a unique, resettable code assigned to you for ad personalisation) and data regarding where you downloaded QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher from and your interaction with the QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher. We shall also collect your search queries. We also collect your Device ID."

A QR code scanner collects phone numbers, advertising IDs, device IDs, search queries, and detailed device settings — far exceeding what's needed for core scanning functionality.

"We collect your precise geolocation data (categorised as 'Sensitive personal information' under CCPA) to provide you with the weather widget. We do not store this data, create user profiles, or track individuals. The data is processed in real time and only used in an aggregated form to deliver relevant weather updates."

A QR code scanner app collects precise geolocation classified as sensitive personal information, justified by a weather widget feature unrelated to the app's core purpose.

"Data we collect automatically: ...your advertising ID (this refers to a unique, resettable code assigned to you for ad personalisation)... We also collect your Device ID which is an anonymous alpha-numeric code that is assigned to your device to uniquely identify it. Additionally, we, our affiliates, service providers, and other third parties may place cookies, tracking pixels (web beacons), and similar technologies to measure the performance of QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher."

The app collects advertising IDs explicitly for ad personalization alongside persistent device IDs and allows third parties to place tracking technologies, enabling cross-service user profiling.

"We may disclose your data to entities that are owned and/or operated by us ("Affiliates") and our business partners who are acting on behalf of or working with QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher... Such Affiliates and business partners who may be located in a country other than the country of your residence, may use your data for their internal processing purposes. Some of our service providers may place their own tracking technologies including cookies and web beacons on QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher to gather data which may include Personal Data for their own research, analysis, and reporting purposes."

Data is shared with affiliates, business partners, and service providers who can use it for their own internal purposes and place their own tracking technologies to collect personal data directly.

"We retain your data including your Personal Data (i) for as long as is necessary for the purposes listed in the Policy; (ii) if such retention is permitted under applicable law(s); or (iii) when you explicitly consent to such retention. We may also use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Data after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally."

There is no specific retention period — data is kept indefinitely as long as it's deemed 'necessary,' and aggregated derivatives of personal data survive deletion requests.

We invite you to review this Policy frequently to keep yourself abreast of any such changes. Your continued use of QR & Barcode Scanner & Launcher constitutes your unconditional acceptance of and agreement to be bound by any and all changes made to this Policy."

Deletion requires submitting a verifiable request and identity verification, with processing taking up to 90 days. There is no clear self-service deletion option within the app itself.
