Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how hostedqr ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our dynamic QR code service at hostedqr.com (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, company name, and a securely hashed password.

QR code data: The names, destination URLs, and design settings of the QR codes you create.

Scan analytics: When someone scans a QR code, we record the date and time, approximate device type (mobile, tablet, desktop), operating system, browser, IP address, and referring page. We do not collect names or personal identities of people who scan your codes.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to operate the Service, generate analytics for your QR codes, maintain account security, communicate with you about your account, and process billing.

4. Cookies and Sessions

We use essential session cookies to keep you logged in. These are required for the Service to function and are not used for advertising or third-party tracking.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who help us operate (such as hosting and email delivery), or when required by law.

6. Data Retention

We retain account and scan data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

7. Security

Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

8. Your Rights

You may access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by logging into your account or contacting us at manage@hostedqr.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
