Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how QR4CARS collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you browse the site, place an order, claim a QR tag, or manage vehicle information.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect information you provide directly to us, including: name, email, phone, country, age (optional), account credentials (passwords are stored as hashes), Telegram username and verification status, vehicle details (make, model, year, specs, plate, VIN if provided), photos, sale price and currency (if enabled), contact visibility choices, and messages you send through the contact or disturbance flows.

Usage Information

We automatically collect information such as IP address, browser/device type, language, timestamps, pages viewed, QR scans (including the QR hash, time, and public page opened), authentication events, and service performance logs.

Third-Party Information

We may receive limited data from: Google (if you use Google sign-in), Telegram (verification status), payment processors (payment status and identifiers, not full card numbers), email/SMS delivery providers (delivery status), and analytics tools (aggregated usage metrics).

2. How We Use Your Information

Process orders and payments, and send transactional updates
Show vehicle data you choose to make public and route contact requests you enable
Verify contact channels (e.g., email, Telegram) and send service notices
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
Improve the Service through diagnostics and analytics
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms
Send marketing communications where permitted or with your consent

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With service providers that host the platform, deliver email/SMS, or provide analytics
With payment processors (e.g., AmeriaBank) to complete card transactions
When you publish a public vehicle page or enable contact channels
To comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or to protect rights and safety
With professional advisors (legal, accounting) under confidentiality

4. Data Security

Encryption in transit and at rest for core data stores
Access controls and audit logging for administrative access
Regular security updates and dependency patching
Isolation of payment data with PCI-compliant processors
Incident response procedures for suspected breaches
Least-privilege access for support and operations staff

No system is 100% secure. We work to protect data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We keep account data while your account is active. Vehicle data and public pages remain until you edit or delete them. Payment and invoice records are kept as required by law. Security and diagnostic logs (including scan metadata) are typically retained up to 24 months. Backups may briefly retain deleted data before expiry.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Access and correct your personal information
Delete your account and associated vehicle data (subject to legal retention)
Export your data in a portable format where technically feasible
Change which contact channels are visible on public pages
Opt out of marketing communications
Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable law provides this right

To exercise these rights, email support@qr4cars.com. We will respond within 30 days where required by law.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember language preferences, secure sessions, and measure basic usage. You can control cookies through your browser; blocking them may limit core functionality.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third parties (e.g., Google sign-in, Telegram verification, AmeriaBank payments). Their handling of data is governed by their own policies. Review those policies before using the integrations.

9. International Data Transfers

Data may be processed in countries different from where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or your consent.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under 18. If we learn we collected data from a minor, we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. If changes are material, we will notify you via the Service or email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
