Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2 November, 2025

Qrixel (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information Qrixel processes, how it is used, and your choices. Qrixel is a QR code utility that lets you create, customize, scan, save, and share QR codes (e.g., UPI links, social profiles, Wi-Fi, phone/SMS/email, text, and websites), with optional iCloud sync, Siri Shortcuts/App Intents, deep links, and share extensions.

1) Summary

• No account required. We do not run our own servers for your content.
• Your QR content stays on your device unless you choose to sync via iCloud or share it.
• No tracking for advertising. We do not sell or rent your data.
• Optional iCloud sync. Sync and backups are provided by Apple and governed by Apple’s policies.
• Support emails you send to us may include your contact information and message content.
• Crash logs & diagnostics may be shared with us by Apple if you opt in on your device.

2) Information We Process

2.1 On-Device Data (Not transmitted to our servers)

• QR Content You Create: UPI links, social links (Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), Wi-Fi credentials, phone numbers, SMS templates, email mailto links, website URLs, clipboard text, and plain text.
• Customization Assets: Colors, logos/images you add from the Photos picker or predefined assets, and any overlay text or styling.
• History: Created and scanned QR codes, including items you pin, copy, share, or delete.
• Settings: Language preference, app icon choice, and feature toggles (e.g., Siri Shortcuts/App Intents).

All of the above stays on your device unless you choose iCloud sync, export, or share externally.

2.2 iCloud (Optional)

If enabled, Qrixel can store your created QR codes and history in your personal iCloud account to sync across your devices. iCloud is operated by Apple; we do not control iCloud infrastructure and do not have access to your iCloud content. Use of iCloud is subject to Apple’s iCloud Terms and Privacy Policy.

2.3 Contact & Support Information

If you email us (feature requests, bug reports), we will receive the information you provide—such as your name, email address, device details you include, and the message content. We use this solely to respond and improve Qrixel.

2.4 Diagnostics

Apple may provide us with aggregated, de-identified crash logs and performance diagnostics if you opt in to share analytics from your device settings. We use these to improve stability and performance. You can change this preference in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

3) Data We Do Not Collect

• No advertising identifiers for tracking users across apps and websites.
• No server-side collection of your QR contents, UPI links, contacts, or images.
• No precise location data.
• No contacts database access (beyond iOS share/email you initiate).

4) Permissions We Request

• Camera: To scan QR codes. Images are processed on device.
• Photos: To import a logo/image and to save exports (PNG/JPEG/PDF) to your library.
• iCloud: To sync your data across devices if you enable it.
• Clipboard: To create a QR code from clipboard content when you explicitly choose to paste.
• Siri Shortcuts & App Intents: To run shortcuts you configure. Shortcut phrases and parameters remain on device.
• Notifications (if added in future): To deliver reminders or status updates, with your consent.

You can grant or revoke permissions anytime in iOS Settings.

5) How We Use Information

• Provide core features: create, customize, scan, save, and share QR codes.
• Sync your content with iCloud if you choose to enable it.
• Respond to your emails for support, feature requests, and bug reports.
• Improve app reliability and user experience via aggregated diagnostics.

6) Sharing & Disclosures

• We do not sell or rent your personal data.
• Third-party opens: When you open a UPI link or social profile QR, your device may launch external apps or a web browser (e.g., Google Pay, PhonePe, Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube). Their privacy practices apply to your activity within their apps.
• Service providers: Apple (App Store, iCloud, crash reporting) may process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
• Legal: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

7) Data Retention & Deletion

• On-device data: Remains until you delete items in the app or uninstall Qrixel.
• iCloud data: Remains until you delete it from Qrixel or manage it via your iCloud settings.
• Support emails: Retained as long as reasonably necessary to address your request and maintain records, then deleted or archived securely.

To request deletion of support correspondence, email us at manasdevslopes@gmail.com. For device or iCloud data, delete from within the app or manage via iOS/iCloud.

8) Security

We use industry-standard practices and rely on Apple’s platform security for on-device and iCloud storage. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Children’s Privacy

Qrixel is a general-audience utility and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information to us via support email, contact us and we will delete it.

10) International Use & Transfers

Depending on your region, Apple’s services (e.g., iCloud, App Store) may store or process data on servers located outside your country. By using those features, you acknowledge such processing by Apple under Apple’s terms and policies.

11) Your Rights & Choices

• Access, edit, or delete your content directly in the app.
• Disable iCloud sync at any time in iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud.
• Control analytics/crash sharing in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.
• Adjust app permissions in iOS Settings > Qrixel.

12) App Store Privacy Labels

Data Not Collected for Tracking: Qrixel does not track you across apps and websites.

Data Linked to You (when you contact us): Contact Info (email, message content you send).

Data Not Linked to You (optional, via Apple): Diagnostics/Crash data if you opt in at the system level.

Note: User Content (your QR codes and history) stays on your device or iCloud and is not transmitted to our servers.

13) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective Date” above. Your continued use of Qrixel after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
