Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At ToolPikz QR Code Scanner, available at toolpikz.com, user privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we process, how it is handled, and our commitment to client-side data security.

1. Client-Side Camera & File Processing

Our web application operates using 100% client-side technology (JavaScript HTML5 API). When you grant camera access or upload an image file containing a QR code:

  • Your camera stream and image files are processed directly within your web browser.
  • No video streams, photo frames, or uploaded files are sent to or stored on our external servers.
  • Camera permissions can be revoked at any time through your browser settings.

2. Browser LocalStorage (Scan History)

To enhance user experience, scanned QR data is saved locally on your device using your browser's localStorage feature. This history is entirely under your control and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time using the "Clear History" button within the app or by clearing your browser cache.

3. Log Files & Analytics

Like standard websites, ToolPikz uses standard log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used solely for optimizing site security and traffic management.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies

ToolPikz may use Google AdSense and third-party advertising partners to display advertisements.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

5. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
