- Technical data: IP address, user agent and standard logs through our hosting provider for security and reliability.
- Analytics and ads: if you consent, we may use cookies or similar technologies for audience measurement and advertising.
Purposes and legal basis

Cookies and Consent
We implement Google’s Consent Mode v2. Non‑essential cookies (analytics/ads) only run after your consent. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie banner when available.
Data retention
- QR input data without account: processed in your browser only, not stored by us.
- Local preferences (size, colors, margin, ECC) are stored locally in your device’s storage and can be cleared by you.
- Server logs: typically retained for up to 12 months by our hosting provider for security.
Sharing of data
We do not sell personal data. Service providers may process technical data to provide hosting, analytics or advertising. When enabled, Google Analytics and Google Ads may process data according to their terms and your consent choices.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside your country. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where applicable.
