Privacy

The QR Tiles privacy policy · Last updated August 9, 2026

QR Tiles is built local-first, and this policy is short because the app simply does not collect much.

What we store, and where

• Your inventory — tiles, labels, groups, zones, photos, and videos — is stored on your device. If you are signed into iCloud, it syncs to your private iCloud database under your own Apple ID. We (the developer) cannot read, access, or recover that data; it belongs to your Apple account.
• Nothing is stored on our servers. QR Tiles has no user accounts, no login, and no developer-operated database of your content.

What we don't do

• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDKs.
• No selling, sharing, or monetizing of your data in any form.
• Photos and videos you add never leave your device and your iCloud.

On-device intelligence

• The camera is used only to scan QR codes and capture photos you choose to add. Processing happens on-device.
• Text recognition on photos (to make them searchable) runs entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
• The Ask feature uses Apple's on-device intelligence where available; your questions and inventory are not sent to us or to any third-party service.
• Spotlight search integration uses the system's on-device index.

Household sharing (subscription feature)

Sharing your inventory with family members uses Apple's iCloud sharing (CloudKit). Shared data moves between participants through Apple's infrastructure under the owner's iCloud account — not through us.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. See Apple's privacy policy for App Store transactions.

Future features

If we ship optional features that involve uploading selected content to a hosted service (for example, viewing a tile in a web browser via a share code), this policy will be updated before that feature launches, and such uploading will always be explicit and opt-in.

Deleting your data

Delete the app to remove local data. Data synced to your iCloud can be removed via Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Storage, or from within the app. Because we hold nothing, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Children

QR Tiles is a household utility and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be noted in the app's release notes and reflected on this page with an updated date.
