Privacy Policy

Creating static QR codes (no account)

When you create a static QR code, the details you type (for example a link or Wi-Fi password) are sent to our server only to draw the QR image and are then discarded. We do not save them. The finished code contains the data itself and works without our servers.

Accounts (Google sign-in)

Accounts use Google sign-in only — we never see or store your Google password. When you sign in, Google shares with us your name, email address, profile photo address, whether your email is verified, and a permanent Google account ID. We use these to create and identify your account.

For security we record each sign-in: the time, your browser type, and a one-way hash of your IP address (not the address itself).

PDF uploads

If you upload a PDF to create a PDF QR code, we store the file privately and anyone with its link or QR code can open it. Links expire after 30 days, after which the file is no longer served. Please don't upload documents you are not happy to share.

Dynamic QR codes and scan statistics

Dynamic QR codes send scans through our redirect service so you can change the destination and see scan counts. We aim to keep scan statistics approximate and anonymous (for example country and device type) and do not store raw IP addresses for them.

Cookies

Essential cookies: a session cookie keeps you signed in, and a security cookie protects forms against cross-site request forgery. These are needed for the site to work.

Advertising cookies: we use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and to measure them, including ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before these cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We use Google for sign-in, Google AdSense for advertising (see above) and a hosting provider to run the website and store data. They process data only as needed to provide those services. We may disclose information if required by law or to stop abuse such as phishing.

How long we keep data

Account details are kept while your account exists. Uploaded PDFs are served for 30 days. Server security logs kept by our hosting provider are retained for a limited period.

Your choices and rights

You can delete your account from your dashboard at any time. Deleting it removes your name, email address, Google link and sign-in history from your account record. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct or export your data, or to object to its use.

Children

MakeMyQROnline is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at https://www.aboutads.info/choices. How Google uses information from sites that use its services is explained at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Ads are clearly labelled and never cover the QR code generator or the download buttons. We do not share the content of your QR codes or your account details with advertisers.

Contacting support

If you use the support form, we keep the name, email address and message you send so we can reply and look back at earlier requests. Deleting your account doesn't remove these messages automatically; ask us if you want them removed.
