SK Studio ("we", "our", or "us") developed the QR Maker Lite mobile application (package identifier com.qrmakerlite, version 1.1.0, Build 11) as a free, ad-supported QR code generator and scanner for Android. This Privacy Policy explains our strict zero-server architecture, how QR codes are processed on your phone, what permissions are used, and how third-party advertisements operate via Google AdMob.
SK Studio does not own or operate any backend servers or databases for QR Maker Lite, and we do not collect, store, read, or transmit any personal information from your device.
tel:) you enter to generate a QR code or scan from a QR code is processed 100% ephemerally in device RAM in real time solely for app functionality and is never stored on any server or shared with third parties.QR Maker Lite uses only the following standard Android system permissions and zero-permission system pickers:
| Permission / System Feature | Purpose & How It Works on Your Device |
|---|---|
| Camera Permission ( android.permission.CAMERA) |
Requested only when you open the Scan QR tab so the camera can detect and decode QR codes in real time. No photos or videos are ever saved or uploaded. |
| Save to Gallery (Scoped MediaStore) |
When you tap Save to Gallery, the generated QR code PNG image is saved directly to your device Gallery (Pictures/QRMakerLite) without reading any of your existing photos. |
| Save to Files (Storage Access Framework) |
When you tap Save to Files, Android's system file saver allows you to pick a folder on your phone to save the QR code PNG file. |
| Pick QR Picture (Android Photo Picker) |
When you tap Pick QR Picture on the scanner screen, Android's built-in Photo Picker lets you select a single QR code image from your Gallery to decode offline. |
| Internet, Network State & Advertising ID | Used exclusively by the integrated Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK to request and display Banner and Interstitial advertisements. |
Whenever a scanned QR code contains an external action, QR Maker Lite never triggers it automatically. Instead, it shows a confirmation pop-up first:
http:// / https://): Shows the full link and destination domain host first, and asks if you want to open it in your browser (Open in Browser).tel: — Ephemeral & Optional): Processed ephemerally in memory only when you optionally generate or scan a phone QR code; shows the phone number first and asks if you want to call it (Call Number opens your phone dialer, and the number is never shared or stored).upi://pay): Shows the payee UPI ID, name, and amount first, and asks if you want to make a payment (Pay with UPI App hands off to your installed UPI app). QR Maker Lite never accesses banking credentials or UPI PINs.To keep QR Maker Lite free of charge, the application uses the official Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK provided by Google LLC to display advertisements in two placements:
Because SK Studio maintains no servers and no databases, no user QR codes, text inputs, Wi-Fi passwords, or scan histories are ever stored or retained by us. All QR data remains strictly in temporary device RAM while on screen and is erased immediately when you tap Clear, tap Scan Again, or close the app. Saved QR code PNG images in your Gallery or Files remain under your sole control on your device and can be deleted by you at any time.
QR Maker Lite is a general-audience utility tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Any updates to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with the latest version number, update date, and timestamp.
