The short version: We do not receive the content you put into a QR code. The code is generated in your browser. We may collect basic, aggregated page analytics and standard server logs.
QR content
The text, URL, Wi-Fi details, or contact information you enter into the generator is processed locally in your browser. It is encoded into the QR image on your device. It is not sent to JustTheQR, stored in a database, or included in analytics events.
Information we collect
Like most websites, our hosting provider may record standard request information such as your IP address, browser type, requested page, and timestamp. This information is used for security, reliability, and aggregate traffic measurement.
If analytics is enabled, it may record page views, referrers, approximate country, device type, and similar aggregate information. Analytics events do not include the content you type into the QR generator.
Cookies
The free QR generator does not require cookies to work. If privacy-friendly analytics is enabled, it is configured to avoid advertising cookies and cross-site profiles. If we add a feature that requires cookies, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for consent.
How we use information
- To serve the pages and keep the site secure and available.
- To understand which pages are useful and where the site can improve.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse.
Third parties
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes standard request data on our behalf to deliver the site. If analytics is enabled, a privacy-friendly analytics provider may process aggregate page data. We do not sell personal information.
Data retention
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations, then deleted or aggregated. Messages you email us are kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of the request.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because the free generator does not collect the content you encode, there is usually no QR content to access or delete. To make a request, email hello@justtheqr.com.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The effective date at the top of the page will reflect the latest version. Material changes will be noted on this page.
