- Camera access for scanning QR codes and barcodes
- Scan content you choose to scan
- History data saved locally on your device
- App settings such as theme and preferences

## How We Use Information
We use this information only to provide app functionality, including:

- remembering your app preferences

## Data Storage
- Scan history is stored locally on your device
- App preferences are stored locally on your device

## Sharing
If you choose to use share features, the content you share is sent only through the system sharing options you select.

## Third-Party Services
The current version of the app does not require sign-in or cloud sync.

If analytics, crash reporting, or other third-party services are added in a future release, this Privacy Policy should be updated before release.

## Data Retention
Your scan history remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app.

## Children’s Privacy
This app is not directed specifically to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a backend service.
