Privacy and Data

What UNI-QR does and does not send to a server, where your history is stored, and the one feature that depends on a server.

UNI-QR generates every QR code entirely inside your web browser. The links, WiFi passwords, contact details, payment IDs and logos you enter are processed locally and are not sent to UNI-QR's servers or any third party - this is stated on UNI-QR's own privacy page and matches what was observed while testing the app directly.

History and your last design

The History panel and your most recent design are saved in your browser's own local storage, not on a server, so they are only available on that device and browser. You can delete individual entries or clear everything from the History panel, or by clearing your browser's site data.

The one feature that uses a server

There is one documented exception to "everything stays in your browser": the optional "Smart link" setting on the App Store / Play QR type. Instead of encoding a plain App Store or Google Play link, Smart link encodes a URL to a small redirect page hosted on qr.unisoftware.app itself, which reads the scanning device's type (iOS or Android) at the moment it is scanned and forwards to the matching store. Nothing about the scan is stored - it is a stateless redirect, not an account, a database entry or scan tracking. Every other QR type, including "App Store only" or "Google Play only" without Smart link, is a plain static link with no server involved after you download the code.

Analytics

UNI-QR's privacy page states it may use Plausible Analytics, a cookie-free, privacy-focused page-view counter that does not collect personal data. UNI-QR also loads a Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon. Neither is an advertising or cross-site tracking script, and no ad network or ad slot was found anywhere on the site.

No account, no login

There is no sign-up, login or account system anywhere in UNI-QR. Every feature - every QR type, every design option and every download format - is available without creating one.

Static codes and the dynamic QR roadmap

Every QR code UNI-QR generates is static: your data is stored directly in the code itself, so it keeps working forever as long as that underlying data (a WiFi password, an account number) does not change, and it needs no server to keep functioning. UNI-QR's homepage also previews a future "dynamic QR" dashboard with editable destinations and live scan counts, clearly labeled "Demo data - Dynamic QR coming soon" - that feature is on UNI-QR's roadmap, not available yet, and the numbers shown in that preview are placeholder data, not real usage statistics.
