(Google Play version)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for using Code Scanner! This is an open-source scanner app that can read 1D/2D codes (Barcodes, QR codes respectively)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before using this app, you should look at the privacy practices below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Definitions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Code Scanner` - a code scanning application developed for Android™ by Lucius Chee Zihan, which has a GitLab mirror at https://gitlab.com/czlucius/code-scanner-play
|
|
|
|
|
|
`code` or `codes` - a 1D or 2D code from the list of supported codes, which can be found in Code Scanner’s app description on its active distribution channels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Data handling
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code Scanner is open-source, available under the GNU Affero General Public License; the app is released on the Google Play Store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This application does not collect, nor does it transmit any Personally Identifiable Information from its users. Data processed by libraries used are described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data stored in the “History” section, preferences in the “Preferences” section, and cache stored from creating QR codes in the “Create” section only resides on the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
App data may be transferred to another device through backups in the Android™ operating system by the user, in which the developer has no control of the privacy of the aforementioned Android backups containing this data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Log/crash data
|
|
|
I want to inform you that whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error or crash in the app, a prompt will be displayed for you to send log/crash data to the developer, for purposes of diagnostics and bug fixing. <br>
|
|
|
This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing Code Scanner, the time and date of your use of Code Scanner, and other statistics.<br>
|
|
|
You will have a choice on whether to send this crash information to the developer. Currently, Code Scanner uses e-mail to send such data. If you do not wish to send the crash information, simply discard the e-mail draft and no data will be sent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are, however, encouraged to send the crash data, as this would help the developer fix relevant bugs in Code Scanner.
|
|
|
## On the use of third-party libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ML Kit by Google<br>
|
|
|
Data from scanned codes are processed by Google’s ML Kit, a Software Development Kit for processing of codes in images, ephemerally offline, they are never transmitted to any external party or out of the device.<br>
|
|
|
Please refer to the privacy policy of ML Kit for more details: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Google AdMob (Advertising)<br>
|
|
|
To support the development of Code Scanner, the app distributed in Google Play contains advertisements served by Google AdMob. <br>
|
|
|
Code Scanner and the Google AdMob library it uses does not access the Advertising ID of your device. As a result, **interest-based advertising is disabled for all users, regardless of region or age**. You may still choose to opt-out of interest-based ads globally on-device by visiting Settings -> Google -> Ads, and then clicking "Delete advertising ID".<br><br>
|
|
|
AdMob by Google is provided by Google Inc.
|
|
|
Data processed by AdMob is subject to Google's privacy policy:<br>
