Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Overview
QRBarcode ("we", "us", or "this site") provides free QR code and barcode generator and scanner tools that run in your web browser. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information is and is not collected when you use this site. In short: we do not collect personal information about you, and the only third-party services integrated into this site are Google Analytics and Google AdSense.
Information We Do Not Collect
You do not need to create an account, sign in, or provide your name, email address, or any other personal information to use the QR Code Generator, Barcode Generator, or Scanner. We do not run forms that collect personal details, and we do not sell or share personal data, because we do not collect it in the first place.
Content You Generate or Scan
The text, links, or values you type into the generators, and the codes you scan, are processed directly in your browser. To power the history feature on this site, that content (for example, the text encoded in a QR code, or the value of a scanned barcode) may be stored in our database along with a timestamp. This is done anonymously — it is not linked to your name, email, account, or any other personal identifier, because we don't have any of that information about you to begin with. Please avoid entering sensitive personal information (such as passwords, financial details, or government ID numbers) into the tools if you would prefer it not be stored.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site in aggregate — for example, which pages are most popular and roughly how much traffic the site receives. Google Analytics uses cookies and may collect information such as your approximate location, device type, browser, and pages visited. This data is processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
Google AdSense
This site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Cookies
Aside from the cookies set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense described above, this site does not use first-party cookies to track you. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time; note that disabling cookies may affect how ads are personalized but will not prevent you from using the QR code, barcode, or scanner tools.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
