Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the browser extension “HoverQR – Instantly Scan & Generate” handles user data. The extension is designed with privacy in mind and does not collect, store, or sell personal information.
Data Collection
HoverQR does not collect or transmit personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, or account credentials.
Website Content Access
HoverQR accesses only visible content on web pages, such as images, links, or user-selected areas, when you actively use features like hover-based scanning or snip-based scanning. All processing is performed locally within your browser, and no data is sent to external servers.
User Activity
The extension detects user interactions such as mouse movement or clicks solely to enable its core features. This activity is processed in real time, is not logged, and is not shared with third parties.
Local Storage
HoverQR uses browser storage to save user preferences and feature-related data, such as settings and the history of scanned or generated QR codes. This data remains on your device and can be removed at any time by clearing browser data or uninstalling the extension.
Payments and Licensing
HoverQR does not collect or store payment information. All payments and license activations are handled by third-party payment providers. HoverQR only verifies license validity and does not have access to users’ financial details.
Open-Source Libraries & Assets
HoverQR uses open-source libraries such as qrcodejs for QR code generation and jsQR for QR code decoding. These libraries run entirely within your browser, and no data is transmitted to their authors or external servers.
Icons and vector assets used in HoverQR are sourced from public domain (PD) or permissively licensed providers. Proper attribution is provided on the Credits page.
Data Sharing
HoverQR does not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties. All processing is performed locally unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Security
Reasonable measures are taken to ensure the extension operates securely. Since no sensitive or personal data is collected, the risk of data exposure is significantly reduced.
