Privacy
Short version: our tools do their work in your browser, and we do not receive or store what you create or scan.
Last updated 24 September 2026. This policy covers neoreader.com. Our browser extensions have their own policies: NeoReader QR and NeoReader Screenshot.
What happens in your browser
- QR codes and barcodes you create, including any logo you add, are generated in your browser.
- Images and camera video you scan are decoded in your browser and discarded. Video is never recorded.
- Your saved QR style is kept in your browser's local storage.
- Content handed over from our extension travels in the part of the address after “#”, which browsers don't send to a server.
What our server sees
Like any website, our hosting receives standard request information (IP address, browser type, the page requested) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We keep these logs briefly and don't use them to profile you. Fonts and every other file are served from neoreader.com itself. We don't use advertising cookies.
To see which tools are useful, our tools count anonymous events such as "a QR code was downloaded" or "a screenshot was converted to PDF". These counts contain no IP address, no identifier and none of your content, and can't be linked to you.
Analytics and cookies (cookies only if you agree)
We use Google Analytics in Google's Consent Mode. Until you press Accept on the cookie bar, it sets no cookies and sends Google only basic, cookieless signals (such as the page viewed) that can't recognise you on a later visit. If you press Accept, it sets cookies to measure visits (pages viewed, rough location, device type). Advertising features stay off either way. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. We don't pass your codes, images, files or scan results to Google Analytics.
Extension privacy policies
Each browser extension has its own policy: QR Code Generator & Scanner, Full Page Screenshot, Dark Mode, Reader Mode, Read Aloud, Screen Recorder and Video Screenshot.
