Privacy Policy

1. About ScanMe

ScanMe allows users to:

• Scan QR codes and barcodes using the device camera.
• Scan codes from images selected from the device.
• Create QR codes and barcodes.
• Customize generated codes with colors, styles, logos, and background images.
• Save generated codes and scan history.
• Export or share generated codes.
• Open supported content, including websites, telephone numbers, email addresses, SMS messages, Wi-Fi information, contact information, and other encoded data.

The App does not require users to create an account for its main scanning and code-generation features.

2. Information Processed by the App

Camera Access

The App requests camera permission to scan QR codes and barcodes.

Camera frames are processed to detect and decode supported codes. Camera images are not intentionally uploaded to servers operated by Androrangers Technologies LLC.

The App does not use camera access for facial recognition or identity verification.

You may disable camera access through your device settings, but camera-based scanning will no longer work.

Scanned QR Code and Barcode Content

The App processes the information contained in QR codes and barcodes that you scan.

This content may include:

• Website links
• Plain text
• Product numbers
• Telephone numbers
• Email addresses
• SMS content
• Contact-card information
• Wi-Fi network names and passwords
• Geographic coordinates
• Calendar information
• Other information encoded in a QR code or barcode

Scanned content is processed locally on your device.

The App may save scanned content in a local scan-history database on your device. Androrangers Technologies LLC does not intentionally upload scanned code content to its own servers.

Generated QR Code and Barcode Content

When you create a QR code or barcode, the App processes the information you enter.

Generated content may include:

• Text
• Website links
• Telephone numbers
• Email addresses
• SMS messages
• Wi-Fi credentials
• Contact information
• Geographic coordinates
• Calendar information
• Product or barcode values

Generated content is processed locally on your device.

The App does not intentionally transmit the content you enter into generated QR codes or barcodes to servers operated by Androrangers Technologies LLC.

You should not place highly sensitive information inside a QR code unless you understand that anyone who obtains the code may be able to read its contents.

Images, Logos, and Backgrounds

The App may allow you to select a logo, background, or image from your device to customize or scan a code.

To do this, the App requests access to photos and media on your device. Access is used only to read the file you select. The App does not browse or index your photo library.

Selected images may be copied into the App’s private local storage and processed on your device.

The App does not intentionally upload selected logos, backgrounds, or scanned images to servers operated by Androrangers Technologies LLC.

Scan History and Local Storage

The App may store the following information locally on your device:

• Scan history
• Generated-code history
• Saved templates
• Favorite codes
• App preferences
• Selected logos
• Selected backgrounds
• Scanned images
• Export settings

You may delete individual history records through the App where deletion controls are available.

You may also remove locally stored App data by clearing the App’s storage through Android settings or uninstalling the App.

Some associated image files may remain temporarily in local App storage until deleted by the App, removed through device storage controls, or removed when the App is uninstalled.

3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services
