Your privacy matters. Here's exactly how we handle your data.
Last updated: December 2025
Your QR Data is 100% Private
QR Hideout does NOT collect, store, or sell any information you input into our QR generators.
All QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. Your data never touches our servers. We cannot see your URLs, WiFi passwords, contact information, or any other data you encode. Period.
What We DON'T Collect
- •QR code content: URLs, WiFi credentials, vCard data, payment info, or any data you encode
- •Personal information: Your name, email, phone number, or address
- •Generated QR codes: We never see, store, or have access to the QR codes you create
- •Download history: We don't track what you generate or download
How QR Generation Works
When you create a QR code on QR Hideout:
- 1.You enter your data (URL, WiFi info, contact details, etc.) in your browser
- 2.JavaScript running locally on your device generates the QR code
- 3.The QR code is displayed and can be downloaded in PNG, SVG, or PDF format
- 4.Nothing is ever sent to our servers - your data stays on your device
How We Support This Site
To keep QR Hideout free for everyone, we display advertisements from trusted advertising networks. Here's what you should know:
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
Important: Nothing from these advertising networks is tied to your real identity. Ad targeting is based on anonymized browsing patterns, not personal information.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve our QR generators and user experience. These tools collect anonymous, aggregated data.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data helps us understand which QR generators are most useful and how we can improve.
GA4 uses cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. No personally identifiable information is collected.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how users interact with our QR generators through heatmaps and session recordings. This helps us identify usability issues and improve the experience.
Clarity masks all input fields by default, meaning your QR data (URLs, passwords, contact info) is never captured in recordings. Clarity does not collect personally identifiable information.
