With our QR scanner, you're always safe! Before opening a website, our QR reader app checks it for malware, viruses, phishing and other threats. Only secure websites are displayed. If the website is malicious, you'll get a warning. We use Google’s 'Web Risk' service, which analyzes billions of websites every day and is trusted by many major companies. Your safety and privacy is our top priority: + No data storage: We don’t save any QR codes you scan. + No ads: You won’t see any advertisements. + No location or device info: We don’t access your location or personal device data. + No tracking: There’s no tracking of your app usage, not even for diagnostics. Our app is simple and secure – for worry-free QR code scanning!
