Welcome to CodeGen, a client-side barcode and QR code generator. This Privacy Policy explains our commitment
to protecting your privacy. Since our service operates entirely in your browser without data collection or
storage, your privacy is inherently protected.
Overview of Our Service
CodeGen is a frontend-only web application that generates barcodes and QR codes directly in your browser. We
do not require user accounts, collect personal information, or store any data on our servers.
Privacy by Design: All code generation happens locally in your browser. Your data never
leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to download or share the generated codes.
Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike many web services, CodeGen does not collect:
- Personal information (names, emails, phone numbers)
- Account credentials or login information
- The content you input for code generation
- Generated barcode or QR code images
- Cookies for tracking or analytics
- Usage patterns or behavioral data
- Device fingerprints or unique identifiers
Technical Information
Our web server may automatically collect standard technical information that is typical for all web services:
- IP addresses (for basic server functionality)
- Browser type and version (for compatibility)
- Operating system information
- Referring website (if applicable)
- Date and time of access
Data Retention: Any technical logs are automatically deleted within 30 days and are used
solely for maintaining service availability and security.
How Our Service Works
CodeGen operates using client-side technology:
- All processing happens in your web browser
- No data is transmitted to our servers during code generation
- Generated codes are created and stored temporarily in your browser's memory
- You have complete control over downloading and sharing your codes
Third-Party Services
To keep our service free and maintain our infrastructure, we may display advertisements through:
Google AdSense
- Google may serve ads based on the content of our pages
- Google may use cookies for ad personalization (you can opt out via Google Ad Settings)
- We do not share any user data with Google beyond what AdSense automatically collects
- Ad revenue helps us maintain free access to our service
Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security practices:
- HTTPS encryption for all connections
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- Secure hosting infrastructure
- No storage of sensitive user data
International Users
Our service is available globally. Since we don't collect personal data, international data transfer
regulations (such as GDPR) have minimal impact on our users. However, we respect all applicable privacy
laws.
Children's Privacy
Our service is safe for users of all ages since we don't collect personal information. Parents can feel
confident that their children's privacy is protected when using CodeGen.
Legal Compliance
We may disclose technical information only when required by law, such as:
- Valid legal process or court orders
- Protection against fraud or security threats
- Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will
be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
Your Choices
Since we don't collect personal data, you automatically have:
- Complete privacy by default
- No need to request data deletion
- No accounts to manage or close
- Full control over any codes you generate
Our Commitment: We believe privacy should be simple and automatic. By choosing a
frontend-only approach, we ensure your data stays private without requiring complex privacy controls or
settings.
