Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 21, 2026 • Effective Immediately
1. Introduction
At QR Code Studio (https://qrcodestudio.shop), accessible from your desktop or mobile browser, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by QR Code Studio and how we utilize it in full compliance with applicable privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and Google AdSense Publisher Policies.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at support@qrcodestudio.shop.
2. 100% Client-Side QR Generation Architecture
Unlike traditional online utilities that transmit your inputs across the internet, our QR code engine leverages pure client-side JavaScript, Canvas, and SVG generation libraries running directly within your web browser.
- No Input Storage: Plain text, URLs, phone numbers, contact vCards, Wi-Fi credentials, cryptocurrency addresses, and geographic coordinates never leave your device.
- No Image Uploads: When you upload a custom brand logo or image to embed inside a QR code, the file is read locally via the HTML5 FileReader API. The file is never uploaded to any cloud server or third-party database.
- No Payload Tracking: We do not log what QR codes you create, when you create them, or how frequently you export them.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Vendors
QR Code Studio utilizes Google AdSense to display advertisements that help fund our free service and server bandwidth. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
Google DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to QR Code Studio and/or other sites on the Internet.
Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at networkadvertising.org or aboutads.info.
Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on QR Code Studio, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
Note that QR Code Studio has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
Like almost any professional website, QR Code Studio uses 'cookies' and browser `localStorage`. These technologies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, such as:
- UI Preferences: Remembering your last selected tab (e.g. Wi-Fi, vCard, URL) so you don't lose context between visits.
- Consent Decisions: Recording your consent choice on our Cookie & Privacy notice banner so you are not prompted repeatedly.
- Analytical & Advertising Cookies: Set by Google AdSense and analytics providers to track anonymous visitor interactions.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
5. GDPR Privacy Rights (European Economic Area)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users residing in the European Union / European Economic Area are entitled to full data protection rights, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability. Because QR Code Studio does not store personal data or user accounts, there is no personally identifiable account profile linked to your visits.
6. CCPA Privacy Rights (California Consumer Privacy Act)
Under the CCPA, California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose what categories and specific pieces of personal data have been collected, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information. QR Code Studio does not sell personal information to any third parties.
7. Children's Information
Protecting children's privacy online is a core priority. QR Code Studio does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child provided this kind of information on our website, please contact us immediately and we will promptly take necessary steps.
