Privacy policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Short version: QR Code Station generates QR codes in your browser. We do not ask for an account and we do not receive the content you put into your codes.

What we collect

• Content you enter (processed on your device). Text, links, Wi‑Fi passwords, contact details, logos and other inputs are used on your device to build the QR code. They are not sent to our servers. Searching brand icons in the Logo tab downloads the icon list from this site; what you type is not sent.
• Saved settings and favorites (optional, device-only). If you like, the site remembers your last settings and the codes you favorite in your browser’s local storage so they are there when you return. This stays on your device, is not uploaded to us and is not linked to an account. Details and how to delete it are below.
• Usage data. Like most websites, we receive standard technical information, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps, through our hosting provider and through analytics tools (for example Google Analytics) that help us understand overall traffic and keep the site reliable. This is aggregate information about visits. It never includes the content of your QR codes.
• Contact messages. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include, and we use it only to reply.

How we use information

• To build your QR codes in your browser and let you download them.
• To restore your last settings and show your favorites on this browser.
• To understand overall traffic, diagnose errors and keep the site secure and fast.
• To reply to your messages.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Your content, settings and favorites stay on your device and are not shared by us. Limited technical data may be handled by service providers that help us host and operate the site (such as hosting, fonts and analytics), only as needed, and information may be disclosed if required by law. When your browser loads a third-party service, for example Google Fonts, it connects to that provider, which can see your IP address; those services are governed by their own privacy policies.

Data retention

Your content, settings, uploaded logos and favorites stay on your device until you delete them. Local storage has no expiry date, and private or incognito windows delete it when you close them. Contact messages and server logs are kept only as long as needed for support, security and operations. Analytics information is kept by the analytics provider for a limited period under its retention settings.

Your choices

• Delete your saved settings and favorites at any time with the button below or in your browser settings.
• Remove single favorites on the Favorites page.
• Block or delete cookies, or use your browser’s privacy settings or a content blocker, if you prefer not to be included in traffic statistics. The site works the same either way.
• Email us to request deletion of messages you previously sent.

Cookies and local storage

QR Code Station uses local storage for the saved settings described below. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell personal profiles. Analytics tools that measure overall traffic may set their own cookies; you can block or clear them in your browser at any time.

Data stored in your browser (local storage)

To remember your work between visits, QR Code Station saves some information in your browser’s local storage. It stays on your device: it is not sent to our servers, not shared with anyone and not used for tracking. This is what is saved:

• Your content: the text, links and other details you changed from the example values.
• Your design: colors, shapes, presets, logo settings and quality options.
• Your logos: images you uploaded (only images under about 400 KB are kept).
• Your theme: light or dark mode, saved as theme.

Your content and design are stored under one key, qrcodestation-state-v1. Local storage has no expiry date, so this data stays until you delete it. Private or incognito windows delete it automatically when you close them. Favorites you save are stored the same way, under qrcodestation-favs-v1.

How to delete your saved data

Choose any option. Menu names can differ slightly between browser versions.

• One click: press the button below. It removes everything QR Code Station saved on this device and browser.
• Chrome or Edge (computer): open Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data (or Cookies and other site data → See all site data and permissions), find this site and delete it. Or press F12 → Application → Local storage → right-click this site → Clear.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data, search for this site and click Remove Selected.
• Safari (Mac): Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data, search for this site and click Remove.
• iPhone and iPad: Settings → Apps → Safari → Advanced → Website Data (on older versions: Settings → Safari → Advanced), search for this site and swipe left to delete.
• Android (Chrome): tap ⋮ → Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data, choose “Cookies and site data”, then tap Delete data.

Your QR codes

Static QR codes contain your information in the image itself. Anyone who scans a code can read what it contains, so do not put secrets in a code you share publicly, for example a Wi‑Fi password on a code placed where everyone can see it.

Children

QR Code Station is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
