Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 17, 2026

Summary: QR to App is built with a zero-backend, privacy-by-design architecture. We do not collect, store, transmit, or monetize your data. All processing occurs entirely in your browser.

1. Zero-Backend Architecture

QR to App is a client-side web application hosted as static assets. There are no user accounts, no registration forms, and no application databases. Any application state — including app names, selected icon designs, brand colors, and destination URLs — is encoded entirely within URL query parameters on your own device.

2. Real-Time Camera Processing

When you use the QR scanner, QR to App requests permission to access your device's video camera via standard Web APIs:

Video frames are analyzed in real-time within your browser's local execution environment using the native BarcodeDetector API or client-side JavaScript (jsQR).
No frames, photos, or video streams are ever recorded, saved, uploaded, or transmitted to any remote server or third party.
Camera access ceases immediately when you leave the scan view or close the browser tab.

3. Uploaded Images

If you upload a custom icon from your device's photo library or file system, the image is resized, converted, and encoded locally into a compact PNG data string via an in-memory HTML5 Canvas. The uploaded file never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.

4. External Services & Icon Lookups

To assist with icon generation, QR to App may make direct browser requests to the following public, third-party endpoints:

Google Favicon Discovery: When resolving website favicons, your browser queries Google's public favicon service (www.google.com/s2/favicons) directly to fetch the public icon of the target domain.
Iconify API: When searching for vector glyphs, queries are sent directly to the public Iconify API (api.iconify.design) to fetch open-source icon metadata and SVG shapes.

These requests are initiated directly by your browser. QR to App does not maintain intermediate proxy servers or retain logs of searched icons or target domains.

5. Analytics & Tracking

QR to App contains zero third-party tracking scripts, zero advertising networks, zero telemetry SDKs, and zero cookies. We do not track your browsing activity, scan history, or install events.
