1. Introduction
KDev Studio (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application QR-Master (the “App”) collects, uses, and safeguards information.
QR-Master is designed with a privacy-first approach. We do not directly collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. However, the App integrates third-party services that may collect certain data as described below.
2. Permissions We Request
The App requests the following permissions strictly to provide its core functionality:
Camera
Used only for scanning QR codes and barcodes in real time. We do not record, store, or transmit camera footage.
Storage (Read/Write Media)
- Save generated QR codes to your device gallery
- Scan QR codes from images stored on your device
No files are accessed or shared outside the intended functionality.
3. Data Collection and Third-Party Services
We do not collect personal data directly. However, the App uses third-party services that may automatically collect limited information such as device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID), usage data, or crash logs.
These services are used solely to:
- Display advertisements
- Analyze app performance and stability
- Improve user experience
The third-party services used by the App include:
Used to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use advertising identifiers to provide personalized or non-personalized ads.

6. Children’s Privacy
QR-Master is not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically.
8. Google Drive Data Backup & Restore
QR-Master provides an optional feature to back up your data (scan history, generated codes, and settings) to your personal Google Drive account. To facilitate this, the app requires access to your Google Drive Application Data Folder or files created by the app.
- How we use your data: The Google Drive permissions are used strictly to upload and restore backup files created by QR-Master.
- Limited Use: The app only accesses files it has created. It does not access your personal photos, documents, or other files on Google Drive.
- Data Privacy: Your data is transferred directly between your device and Google's servers. We (the developers) do not access, view, collect, or share your backup data with any third parties.
- Encryption: QR-Master offers End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for backups. If enabled, your data is encrypted locally before upload, ensuring that only you can access it using your recovery key.
9. Google API Services User Data Policy Compliance
Google API Services Disclosure:
QR-Master’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
The application requests access only to the following Google Drive scopes:
- drive.appdata – to store and restore encrypted backup files within the app-specific Application Data Folder.
- drive.file (if applicable) – to access, create, and manage only the files created by QR-Master.
The app does not access, read, modify, or delete any other files in your Google Drive.
Data obtained through Google APIs is:
- Used solely for backup and restore functionality
