Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how HYPERSE SOFTWARE LTD ("we", "us") handles information when you use the QR Reader app for iPhone (listed on the App Store as "QR Code Scanner | Barcode Scan") and the website qr.seattle.tr, including its free QR code and barcode generators.

In short: QR Reader works on your iPhone. Your scans, your history and the codes you create stay on your device. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking, and we never sell data.

Who is responsible

HYPERSE SOFTWARE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales, is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at qr@seattle.tr.

Data that stays on your device

QR Reader is designed to do its work on your iPhone. The following is processed locally and is not sent to us:

  • Camera. The camera image is analysed in real time on your device to find codes. Images are not stored or uploaded.
  • Photos and files. When you choose a photo, screenshot or PDF to scan, QR Reader reads only the items you pick. To save a code to Photos, the app only asks for permission to add images.
  • Scan history and created codes. Codes you scan or create, folders, notes and favourites are stored in the app's database on your iPhone. They are included in your device backups (such as iCloud Backup) according to your own settings; we cannot access them.
  • Clipboard. The app reads the clipboard only when you use a paste feature, and writes to it when you copy something or turn on automatic copying.
  • Location. When you create a location code, the app can use your current location to centre the map. Your location is not stored by the app or sent to us.
  • Contacts and calendar. When you save a scanned contact or event, iOS shows its own screen and only adds what you confirm. QR Reader does not read your contacts or calendar.
  • Face ID. If you turn on the app lock, authentication is handled by iOS. We never receive biometric data.
  • Wi-Fi. When you join a scanned Wi-Fi network, the network name and password are passed to iOS to connect.
  • Widgets, Siri and Spotlight. Content shown in widgets or indexed for Spotlight search stays on your device.

When the app connects to the internet

  • Opening links. Links open in your browser or in the app you choose. The website you visit receives the usual information, such as your IP address, under its own privacy policy.
  • Link Guard "Reveal destination". Only when you tap it, the app contacts the server of that link directly to follow its redirects. No cookies are sent, and nothing is sent to us.
  • Product search. "Search Product" opens a web search for the barcode number in your browser.
  • Purchases. Subscriptions are processed by Apple. To manage subscriptions we use RevenueCat, Inc., which receives purchase information (such as products, transactions and an anonymous app user ID) and basic device information. See RevenueCat's privacy policy. We never receive your payment details.

No advertising, analytics or tracking

QR Reader contains no advertising and no analytics or tracking tools. We don't track you across apps or websites, we don't build profiles, and we don't sell or share personal data for advertising.

The website qr.seattle.tr

  • The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses and browser information to deliver the site securely.
  • We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookie-free service that shows aggregated statistics such as page views without tracking individual visitors.
  • The QR code and barcode generators run entirely in your browser. What you type (links, Wi-Fi passwords, contact details) is not uploaded or stored by us.
  • The website does not use advertising cookies.

Contacting us

If you email us, we use your email address and your message only to answer you. We keep this correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for up to 24 months afterwards.

Where the UK GDPR or the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data to provide the app and the features you request (performance of a contract), to keep our services secure and to answer your messages (legitimate interests), and on the basis of your consent where iOS asks for permission, such as camera or photo access. You can withdraw permissions at any time in the iOS Settings app.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Because almost all data stays on your device, you can view, export and delete it yourself in the app, and deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone. To exercise your rights, email qr@seattle.tr.

You can also complain to a data protection authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), your local supervisory authority in the EU or, for users in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK).

Children

QR Reader is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Data on your iPhone is protected by iOS security, and you can additionally lock the app with Face ID. Connections made by the app use encryption (HTTPS) whenever the destination supports it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our app, our website or the law changes. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the last update shown at the top.
