3. How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes — ever.
We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers solely for the purpose of operating our platform:
| Provider | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing | Billing info, card details |
| Mail provider (SMTP) | Transactional emails | Email address, name |
| Hosting / CDN | Infrastructure & delivery | Log data, files |
We may also disclose your data when required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of aiQRlink, our users, or the public.
5. Google Sign-In Data Collection
If you choose to sign in using Google or another third-party authentication provider, we may receive information such as your name, email address, profile image, and unique account identifier.
We use this information solely for authentication, account creation, account management, and security purposes.
We do not receive, access, or store your Google account password.
6. AI Provider Disclosure
Certain AI-powered features may process submitted content through third-party AI providers such as OpenAI, Claude, or Google Gemini, as configured by the Platform administrator.
Submitted content may be transmitted to these providers solely for the purpose of generating requested AI outputs and providing AI-powered functionality.
7. Data Retention Period
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Account information may be retained after account deletion where required by law, regulatory requirements, fraud prevention purposes, or other legitimate business interests.
9. Analytics & AI Insights
When someone scans your QR code or clicks your short link, we collect anonymised usage data including approximate location (country/city), device type, browser, and referrer. We do not collect or store the full IP address of scanners.
This data is associated with your account (not the scanner) and is used to populate your analytics dashboard with real-time statistics and AI-generated performance insights.
The AI Insights feature sends aggregated, anonymised analytics summaries to a language model to generate natural-language recommendations. No personally identifiable information (PII) is sent to any AI model.
10. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. Specific retention periods:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until account deletion, then 90 days |
| QR codes, links, and pages | Until deleted by user, then 90 days |
| Analytics / scan data | Up to 2 years, aggregated after 12 months |
| Payment records | 7 years (legal/tax obligation) |
| Server log files | 30 days |

- Encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest.
- Hashed and salted passwords — never stored in plain text.
- Regular security audits and dependency updates.

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For material changes, we will notify registered users via email or an in-app notification at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
