Privacy Policy
Edition of 24 September 2026
1. General
This policy describes what data the QRcode Global website (qrcode.global) collects and how we use it. The site operates under the brand QRcode Global. The site owner and personal-data controller is sole proprietor Stepanchuk Oleksandr Mykhailovych (tax ID / РНОКПП 3514002131; registered on 2 September 2026; Unified State Register record No. 2011600000000111271). See the About & Contact page. We aim to collect the minimum data necessary to run the service.
2. What data we collect
- QR codes you generate — we store the destination, creation and expiry dates, scan count and last-scanned date so you can use analytics, statistics, control and editing. Without an account a dynamic QR code has a limited lifetime; in an account it has no separate expiry term.
- Scan geography — for the owner’s dashboard map we store approximate region data for scans (country/city). Connection metadata may be used temporarily for abuse protection and is not stored attached to a specific QR code.
- Account (optional) — email, name (if provided), a password hash (we never store the password itself), or an ID from Google/Microsoft if you sign in that way.
- Terms consent — when you tick “I agree” after sign-in, we store that direct agreement: date and time, edition identifier (current — 2026-09-20 / 20 September 2026), IP address, interface language, and browser user-agent. Registration and sign-in do not by themselves create this agreement. Without direct agreement the dashboard and payment are unavailable.
- Payment — processed by payment service providers (including Monobank and/or bank acquiring). We never see or store your card details — only the payment status and amount.
- Cookies — a technical session cookie for account login (only if you register/log in). Language preference is stored in the browser’s localStorage. Google Analytics counts visits (IP is anonymized). Ads on the site are served by Google AdSense — Google and its partners may use their own cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits (see section 5).
3. How we use data
Data is used solely to provide the service: redirecting dynamic QR codes, showing scan statistics, running accounts, and processing payments. We do not sell your personal data. Ads on the site are served by Google AdSense (see section 5).
4. Data retention
Dynamic QR codes without an account are deleted when their limited term ends (or earlier if stats were never viewed and the code was never scanned — typically within 7 days). Account QR codes have no separate expiry term; account data is kept while the account is active. If an account has no activity for more than 1 month, a warning is sent; if no activity appears within a week, the account and all QR codes are deleted. Activity means signing in, viewing statistics, generating codes and other operations on QRcode Global. You may request account deletion.
5. Sharing data with third parties
We only share data with services required for the feature to work: payment providers (including Monobank and/or bank acquiring), Google or Microsoft (only if you choose to sign in that way), Google Analytics (visit counting; IP is anonymized), and our hosting provider, where data is physically stored.
Advertising and third-party vendors. Ads on this site are served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use their own cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is not linked to your QR code or your account.
You can turn off ad personalization in Google Ads Settings, and manage third-party cookies at aboutads.info. Without advertising cookies the site works exactly the same — you simply see non-personalized ads.
6. Your rights
You can request to view, correct, or delete your data by emailing [email protected]. You can also delete your account at any time, or simply let a dynamic QR code be deleted automatically once its term ends.
7. Security
Passwords are stored as a cryptographic hash, never in plain text. The site connection is secured with HTTPS.
8. Children
The service is not intended for individuals under 16 years old.
9. Changes to this policy
The current edition of this policy is dated 24 September 2026. We may update it; each new edition has its own date on this page. For an account, a new edition takes effect only after a further direct agreement (tick) in the dashboard (together with the Terms of Use). Until then the dashboard and payment remain unavailable.
