Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. This comprehensive Privacy Policy outlines how QRDb (collectively, "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, processes, and protects your information when you use our website, URL shortening services, QR code generator, event notifications, and related tools (the "Services").

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our Services:

• Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address, name, billing details, and customized domain preferences.
• Scan & Click Analytics: When a user scans a QR code or clicks a short link generated by our Services, we collect necessary analytics data, including IP addresses, user-agent strings (browser and device types), referring URLs, and click timestamps.
• Client Data & Mobile Numbers: For users utilizing our Smart Emailing and Notification modules, you may upload lists of consented mobile phone numbers. We store these temporarily to perform Activeness Checks (HLR/MNP/Ping) and route messages.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our Services, including real-time redirect routing and QR code generation.
• To generate aggregated, anonymized click and scan analytics for our users' dashboards.
• To prevent fraud, abuse, spam, and malicious activity on our platform.

3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Subprocessors

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to data brokers. However, we may share specific data with trusted partners strictly for operational purposes:

• Cloud Hosting & CDN: We utilize secure, industry-standard cloud providers and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to host our application and ensure fast, reliable link redirection.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental request to protect our legal rights or the safety of the public.

4. Mobile Information & SMS Opt-In Privacy (Strict No-Sharing Policy)

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Specifically:

• No Commercial Data Sharing: Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent records collected for authentication, two-factor verification (2FA), one-time passwords (OTP), and account security alerts will never be sold, rented, leased, bartered, or disclosed to third parties or affiliates for promotional, advertising, or marketing purposes.
• Strict Operational Subprocessors Only: Information sharing to subcontractors is restricted solely to telecommunications carriers and delivery conduits directly necessary to transmit one-time verification messages requested by you. These subcontractors are strictly bound by confidentiality obligations and prohibited from using your mobile data for any secondary purpose.
• Opt-In Data Segregation: Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent records are strictly maintained within secure, access-controlled infrastructure and are never merged with external marketing databases.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

6. Your Rights & Opt-Out

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. You may also opt-out of certain data processing activities. You may cancel SMS messaging at any time by replying STOP to any text message. To exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact us at hello@qrdb.co.
