This policy explains how we handle information when providing QRWink. The app scans QR codes and barcodes, creates code images, recognizes and translates menu text, and manages local records. You do not need to create an account.
Content you scan, select or enter is used to provide the requested feature. It may include code values, text, URLs, Wi-Fi details, contact information, manually entered coordinates and menu text. Code processing uses on-device system capabilities and local components. Menu text recognition uses Apple Vision. QRWink does not upload this content to a server operated by us.
Scanned and created codes and saved menu source text may be stored in the device’s local library, together with their type, origin and creation time. Theme, onboarding and reminder preferences are stored locally. Menu translations can be copied or shared; the menu Save action stores the original or edited source text, not a separate translation record.
Wi-Fi passwords, phone numbers, contacts and coordinates can be included in code images and local records. QRWink is not a password vault and does not add separate encryption to the history database. Use your device’s access controls and share sensitive content carefully.
Camera permission is used to scan codes and capture menu documents. If you decline, features such as image selection and manual entry remain available. The system photo picker gives QRWink access to the image you select, without granting access to your entire photo library.
Saving a code image requests permission to add images to Photos. Menu images are processed for recognition and are not stored in the current history database. When you tap Paste, the app reads clipboard content. When you tap Copy, the selected text is written to the system clipboard.
Menu text is passed to Apple’s system Translation framework. Apple provides language-pair support, language resources and related system processing. A first use may require a language download, subject to your device, system and Apple’s policies. We do not send menu text to our own translation service.
If you enable the daily reminder, QRWink requests notification permission and schedules a local notification for 18:00. This feature does not use a developer-operated remote push server. You can disable reminders in the app or in system settings.
Opening a scanned website, privacy policy or terms page loads the corresponding website. When you choose a product search, the barcode value is sent as a query to Google, Amazon or eBay. These websites may process IP addresses, cookies, device information and browsing activity under their own policies. We do not control their practices.
Web pages use the system WebView and may retain cookies or cached data. Deleting code history does not clear website data. Review a website’s privacy policy before using it or entering information there.
Sharing sends the selected content to the app or service you choose. In-app feedback also uses the system share sheet and is not automatically sent to us. If you send feedback to our contact channel, we receive the contact details, message and attachments you provide. We use them to handle your request, address related issues and meet necessary obligations, not for advertising tracking.
QRWink uses SnapKit for layout, Realm for local records, ZXingObjC for certain barcode formats and Lottie for local animations. It also uses Apple’s camera, photo, recognition, translation and sharing capabilities. The current version does not integrate advertising or behavioral analytics SDKs. We do not sell personal information or use scan history for cross-app advertising tracking.
Apart from external services you choose to use, we do not provide local history to our third-party business partners. Information received through support channels is used or disclosed only as needed to handle your request, with your separate authorization, or as required by law.
Local records remain until you delete them in the library or remove the app and its data from your device. Copies saved to Photos, copied elsewhere or shared are not removed when history is deleted; manage those copies separately. System backups depend on your device and backup settings. QRWink does not provide a separate cloud-sync or cloud-recovery service.
Support correspondence is retained for the time needed to handle the request and meet applicable legal obligations. Contact the privacy email to ask about, access, correct or delete personal information we actually hold. We may verify your identity and handle requests under applicable law. Manage on-device history on your own device.
You can manage Camera, Photos add access and Notifications in iOS Settings. Revoking permission may affect the related feature but does not automatically delete existing records.
QRWink is not designed specifically for children. Minors should use it with a parent or guardian as appropriate to the App Store age rating and local requirements, especially when opening websites or sharing content. Guardians may contact us if they believe we received a child’s information through support that should not be retained.
We will update this policy and its effective date when our features or practices change, and provide notice or obtain consent where required by law. For privacy questions, contact：[email protected]
