Clear Code Reader Privacy Policy
Summary: Clear Code Reader processes QR codes, barcodes, selected images, and generated content on your device. The current release does not collect or share app data and contains no advertising, analytics, attribution, account, or cloud SDK.
FSD HOLDINGS LLC, publishing on Google Play under the developer name FSD Core ("we", "us", or "our"), provides the Clear Code Reader Android application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is processed when you use the App, contact support, or visit this policy website.
1. Information processed on your device
The App can process the following information locally:
- Camera frames while live scanning is active.
- An image you explicitly select through the Android system picker.
- Text or an image you explicitly share to the App.
- Decoded QR or barcode content and its detected type.
- Up to 50 recent scan results in local history, which is enabled by default.
- Preferences such as vibration and history settings.
- Content you enter to generate a QR code.
This processing happens on your device. The App does not upload camera frames, selected source images, scan content, scan history, generated codes, device identifiers, or usage information to us. Camera frames and selected source images are not retained by the App after processing.
2. Local storage, retention, and deletion
Local history is enabled by default. Scan history and preferences remain in the App's private storage until you clear them, clear the App's storage, or uninstall the App. Turning history off prevents new entries but does not automatically remove existing entries. Use the App's Clear history command to remove them.
Generated QR images are saved only after you choose Save. Depending on your Android version, the image is saved to the device Pictures collection or a destination you select through the system file picker. Saved images remain until you delete them with your gallery or file manager. Uninstalling the App may not remove files saved outside the App's private storage.
The App does not create user accounts, so there is no account deletion process. The App is configured to exclude its private files, databases, and preferences from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer on supported Android versions. Android and device manufacturers control the system transfer implementation.
3. Permissions and system access
- Camera: requested only for live code scanning.
- Vibration: used for optional scan-success feedback.
Image import, local history, QR creation, and privacy information remain available without camera permission. The current release does not request Internet, advertising ID, broad photo library, contacts, calendar, phone, SMS, location, microphone, or notification permissions.
4. External actions
The App never opens a decoded destination automatically. If you explicitly choose an action such as Open link, Share, Email, Message, Call, Map, Add contact, Add event, or Open Wi-Fi settings, Android transfers the selected content to the external application you choose. The receiving application's privacy policy then applies. We do not receive information about what the external application does.
If you choose Copy, Android places the selected scan content on the system clipboard. The operating system and other apps may access clipboard content according to Android's clipboard rules. You can replace or clear it using your device's system controls. The App does not monitor the clipboard.
5. Advertising, analytics, and third-party code
The current release contains no advertising SDK, analytics SDK, attribution SDK, crash-reporting SDK, remote configuration SDK, or account service. It does not request Internet access. We do not sell app data or share app data for advertising.
The App includes ZXing Core for on-device code processing and Material Symbols for interface icons. These open-source components run as part of the App and are not configured to transmit information to their authors. Their license notices are available inside the App.
6. Support communications
If you email us, we process the email address, message content, and any attachments you choose to send only to respond, troubleshoot, protect our rights, or comply with legal obligations. Email providers may process this information to deliver the communication. We retain support correspondence only as reasonably necessary for those purposes and do not sell it. You may request deletion of support correspondence by contacting us, subject to legal or security retention requirements.
7. Privacy website hosting
This public privacy website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When you visit the website, Cloudflare may process technical request information such as your IP address, browser or user-agent details, requested URL, timestamps, and security signals to deliver and protect the page. We do not enable Cloudflare Web Analytics, advertising, cookies, forms, or other tracking scripts on this website. Cloudflare handles information under its Privacy Policy.
Website hosting activity is separate from the App. The App itself does not contact this website or Cloudflare in the background.
8. Security
The App minimizes data by processing content locally, avoiding network permission, and configuring backup exclusions for private app data. No device, transfer implementation, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure, so keep your device and operating system protected.
9. Children's privacy
The App is a general-purpose code utility and is not designed specifically for children. The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users. If you believe information has been provided to us through a support communication, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the App's behavior, legal requirements, or platform requirements change. We will publish the revised policy at the same public URL and update the effective date. Any future advertising, analytics, account, network, or cloud feature will require an updated policy and Google Play disclosure before release.
