This privacy policy governs your use of the software application and website "AR Code" ("Service") for computers and mobile devices created by AR Code Pte. Ltd. The Service is an Augmented Reality Code generator & scanner.

What information does the Service obtain and how is it used?

Automatically Collected Information

The Service may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device you use, your device's unique device ID, the IP address of your device, your operating system, the type of mobile Internet browsers you use, and information about how you use the Service.

Does the Application collect precise real-time location information of the device?

If you allow it, the Service will collect precise information about the location of your device.

Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Service?

Yes. We will share your information with third parties only in the ways described in this privacy statement. We may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

  • as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
  • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
  • with our trusted service providers who work on our behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement;
  • if AR Code is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of this information, as well as any choices you may have regarding this information;
  • to advertisers and third-party advertising networks and analytics companies as described in the section below.

Automatic Data Collection and Advertising

We may work with analytics companies to help us understand how the Service is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage. We work with advertisers and third-party advertising networks who need to know how you interact with advertising provided in the Service, which helps us keep the cost of the Service low. Advertisers and advertising networks use some of the information collected by the Service, including, but not limited to, the unique identification ID of your device and your mobile telephone number. To protect the anonymity of this information, we use encryption technology to help ensure that these third parties can’t identify you personally. These third parties may also obtain anonymous information about other applications you’ve downloaded to your device, the websites you visit, your non-precise location information (e.g., your zip code), and other non-precise location information to help analyze and serve anonymous targeted advertising on the Service and elsewhere. We may also share encrypted versions of information you have provided to enable our partners to append other available information about you for analysis or advertising-related use.

If you’d like to opt-out from third-party use of this type of information to help serve targeted advertising, please visit the section entitled “Opt-out” below.

What are my opt-out rights?

There are multiple opt-out options for users of this Service:

Opt-out of all information collection by uninstalling the Service: You can stop all collection of information by the Service easily by uninstalling the Service. You may use the standard uninstall processes available as part of your device or via the application marketplace or network. You can also request to opt-out via email, contact us.

Opt-out from the use of information to serve targeted advertising by advertisers and/or third-party network advertisers: You may at any time opt-out from further allowing us to have access to your location data in your device parameters.

Data Retention Policy, Managing Your Information

We will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Service and for a reasonable time thereafter. We will retain Automatically Collected information for up to 24 months and may store it in aggregate thereafter. If you’d like us to delete User Provided Data that you have provided via the Service, please contact us, and we will respond in a reasonable time. Please note that some or all of the User Provided Data may be required for the Service to function properly.

Children

We do not use the Service to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information without their consent, they should contact us. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.

Security

We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. For example, we limit access to this information to authorized employees and contractors who need to know that information to operate, develop, or improve our Service. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy at https://ar-code.com/page/privacy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.

Your Consent

By using the Service, you consent to our processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us. "Processing" means using cookies on a computer/hand-held device or using or touching information in any way, including, but not limited to, collecting, storing, deleting, using, combining, and disclosing information, all of which activities will take place in Singapore. If you reside outside Singapore, your information will be transferred, processed, and stored there under Singapore privacy standards.

GDPR

Your individual rights

Under the GDPR, your rights are as follows:

  • the right to be informed;
  • the right of access;
  • the right to rectification;
  • the right to erasure;
  • the right to restrict processing;
  • the right to data portability;
  • the right to object; and
  • the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling.

We handle subject access requests in accordance with the GDPR.

Internet Cookies

We use cookies on this Service to provide you with a better user experience. We do this by placing a small text file on your device/computer hard drive to track how you use the Service, to record or log whether you have seen particular messages that we display, to keep you logged into the Service where applicable, and to display relevant adverts or content. Your web browser should provide you with the controls to manage and delete cookies from your device. Please see your web browser options.

Data Security and Protection

We ensure the security of any personal information we hold by using secure data storage technologies and precise procedures in how we store, access, and manage that information. Our methods meet GDPR compliance requirements.

Sponsored Links, Affiliate Tracking & Commissions

Our Service may contain adverts, sponsored, and affiliate links on some pages. These are typically served through our advertising partners, such as Google Adsense, eBay Partner Network, and Amazon Affiliates, or are self-served through our own means. We only use trusted advertising partners who each have high standards of user privacy and security. However, we do not control the actual adverts seen/displayed by our advertising partners. Our ad partners may collect data and use cookies for ad personalization and measurement. Where ad preferences are requested as 'non-personalised', cookies may still be used for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse.

Clicking on any adverts, sponsored, or affiliate links may track your actions by using a cookie saved to your device. Your actions are usually recorded as a referral from our Service by this cookie. In most cases, we earn a very small commission from the advertiser or advertising partner, at no cost to you, whether you make a purchase on their Service or not.

We use advertising partners in these ways to help generate an income from the Service, which allows us to continue our work and provide you with the best overall experience and valued information.

If you have any concerns about this, we suggest you do not click on any adverts, sponsored, or affiliate links found throughout the Service.
