Privacy Policy

Short version: Your content never leaves your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit the text or data you encode or decode with this extension.

1. What we do not collect

• The text, URL, vCard, Wi-Fi password, calendar event, payment data, or geo coordinates you encode into QR codes. Every encoder runs 100% locally in your browser.
• The decoded payload of any QR code you scan. jsQR runs locally in the popup or in an offscreen document. Nothing is sent to a server.
• The contents of any tab you visit. The activeTab permission only fires when you click "Scan QR on current page" or right-click an image.
• Browsing history, cookies, or any tracking data outside the extension itself.

2. What we do collect

• A randomly generated device ID stored in your browser's chrome.storage.local. Sent only to peakproductivity.online for license verification (Pro users) and anonymous funnel events (counts of installs, first generations, paywall hits, never content).
• Your license key + email address if you purchase Pro. Stored on our license server (peakproductivity.online/qr-code-generator-scanner/api) and Stripe.
• Your email address if you opt in to our newsletter. Goes to our SendSimple list (sendsimple.site) and you can unsubscribe in one click.
• Dynamic QR (Pro only) destination URLs and anonymous scan counts, since the redirect server we host needs to know where to send people. Plain destination URL only, no scan-side IP logging beyond what is needed for rate limiting.

3. Permissions justification

• storage: saves your settings, history of generated and scanned codes, and cached license verdict locally.
• activeTab: reads images on the current tab when you press "Scan QR on current page". Granted ad-hoc per click; never persists; never runs in the background.
• scripting: backs the page-scan and result banner via one-shot scripts.
• contextMenus: registers the right-click "Scan QR in this image" menu item on images.
• downloads: saves generated PNG, SVG, and bulk ZIP files via the Chrome download manager.
• offscreen: lets a hidden document use canvas + jsQR to decode images that the service worker cannot decode itself.
• host_permissions: peakproductivity.online: single CORS-safe origin for license verify, license activation, growth events, and dynamic QR redirect creation. No <all_urls>, no wildcards.

4. Third-party services

• Stripe: payment processing for Pro upgrades. Stripe receives your email and payment details directly; we never see your card.
• SendSimple: optional email list provider, hosted on our own infrastructure.
• Google (Chrome Web Store): distributes the extension. We do not see who downloaded it, only aggregate install counts.

No third-party analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, etc.) are loaded by the extension.

5. Data deletion

To delete all locally stored data, open Chrome → Extensions → QR Code Generator & Scanner → Site settings → Clear data. Or simply uninstall the extension.

To delete your license, email + dynamic QR records from our server, email support@peakproductivity.online.
