Privacy

StaticQR's privacy policy is short because there is little to disclose: your data never leaves your device. Every QR code is generated — and every scan decoded — by JavaScript running in your browser. There is no server-side processing at all.

What we collect

Nothing. StaticQR has no accounts, no forms that submit anywhere, and no server that receives your content. The URLs, WiFi passwords, contact details and images you work with stay in the tab you typed them into. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the network tab, and generate a code — nothing is sent. The site even works with your internet connection switched off after the page has loaded.

Cookies

StaticQR sets zero cookies — not for tracking, not for anything else. We also do not use local storage: the app is stateless by design (the only browser storage in use is the offline cache the PWA service worker keeps so the site works without a connection). Because there are no cookies or trackers, no consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive or GDPR — and we don't show one.

Camera and images

The scanner asks for camera permission only when you press “Start camera”. Video frames are decoded frame-by-frame inside your browser and are never recorded or transmitted. Uploaded images are read into a local canvas and discarded the same way. The camera permission can be revoked at any time from your browser's site settings.

Analytics

StaticQR currently runs with no analytics at all — the integration is built but not configured, so no measurement script is loaded and no page view leaves your browser. If analytics are ever enabled, the only acceptable provider is a cookie-less, GDPR-compliant one (Plausible, EU-hosted, no personal data, no cross-site tracking) — which would still not require a consent banner. This page will be updated before that happens, and the network tab will show exactly what changed.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site may display unobtrusive ads in the future, once traffic justifies it. Ad networks may use cookies or similar technologies; where required, a consent mechanism will be shown before any such cookie is set. Some links may be affiliate links — clearly labelled, at no extra cost to you, and never influencing how the tools work. There are no subscriptions and no paid features, and there never will be.

Offline use

StaticQR installs as a PWA and caches its pages on your device so it works offline. That cache lives only in your browser and can be cleared at any time from your browser settings.
