ScreenQR — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Who we are

ScreenQR (Android app com.usefulappz.screenqr) is developed by Usefulappz™ (Mike Kelley). Contact: mikekelleyii.mk2@gmail.com

The short version

ScreenQR has no internet permission at all — the app is technically incapable of sending your data anywhere. No accounts, no server, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Every QR code is decoded on your device, and everything stays on your device.

How scanning works

• Share a screenshot: share an image to ScreenQR from your gallery or screenshot tools, and the app looks for a QR code in that image, on your device.
• Scan My Screen: when you tap this button, Android asks you to approve a one-time screen capture. ScreenQR grabs a single frame of your own screen, checks it for a QR code in memory, and releases the screen capture immediately. The frame is never saved to storage and never leaves the device.
• Pick from gallery: an image you choose is decoded on-device only.
• Camera scan: the live camera preview is analyzed on-device for QR codes. No video or photo is recorded or stored.

What the app stores

Nothing of yours. ScreenQR keeps no history of the codes you scan. If you copy a result or share it, that happens through Android's clipboard or share sheet to the app you pick, under that app's privacy policy — ScreenQR itself sends nothing.

Permissions, and why

• Camera: only for the live camera scanning mode, only while you are using it.
• Foreground service (media projection): Android requires a foreground service for the one-shot "Scan My Screen" capture. It runs only for the moment of the capture you start, with its status notification visible, and stops as soon as the frame is checked.
• Notifications: the capture service's required status notice (Android 13+).
• Internet: NOT requested. ScreenQR cannot connect to the internet.

Purchases

If you buy the app, Google Play processes the payment. We never see or store your card details.

Children

ScreenQR is a general utility tool. It is not directed at children under 13, and it collects no data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this URL with a new "last updated" date.
