What we don't collect

QR code images are decoded entirely in your browser. The image itself is never uploaded to our servers.

What we do send

If the decoded QR code contains a web link, that link (and only that link — not the image, not the QR code's other contents) is sent to our server to run a safety check against threat-intelligence data. This request is not linked to your identity or stored against a user profile, since CheckThisQR has no accounts or logins.

Caching

To keep the service fast and free, previously-checked links may be cached temporarily so repeat checks of the same link don't require a new lookup.

Advertising

This site may display third-party advertisements (including via Google AdSense) to support free access. See Google's own privacy policy for details on how ad partners handle data.
