1. Overview
SaferScans is a privacy-first web application for scanning and inspecting QR codes. Unlike traditional online tools, SaferScans performs all decoding, safety heuristic checks, and parsing entirely within your web browser.
2. Zero Server Uploads & No Data Transmission
We do not store, upload, transmit, or record any video streams from your camera, uploaded QR code images, clipboard data, or decoded URLs. All computation happens locally in client-side JavaScript.
3. Local Storage & Batch History
If you use the Scan History or Batch Mode features, your scan logs are saved locally in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your physical device and can be cleared at any time with a single click.
4. Analytics & Measurement
We use privacy-friendly Google Analytics (GA4) with IP anonymization to understand aggregate website usage (e.g. pageviews, browser types). No personal identity data or QR scan contents are ever tracked.
