On your phone
Codes are read from the camera on your phone, and the app works without an internet connection. Your scan history, favorites and the QR codes you create are stored in the app on your phone. A2Z Tools has no server for this app and receives none of this data.
When something leaves your phone
Only when you act: opening a scanned link or a product search opens your browser, joining a scanned Wi-Fi network uses Android's Wi-Fi settings, saving a business card hands the details to your Contacts app, and sharing a QR code hands it to the app you pick. Each of those apps and websites follows its own privacy policy.
No ads, analytics or sharing
The app contains no ads, no analytics and no crash-reporting SDK, and it does not sell or share your data.
Permissions
- Camera: To scan QR codes, barcodes and business cards. Android asks you first, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings.
Android asks before an app can use the camera, microphone or notifications, and you can change these permissions at any time in your phone's Settings.
