2. Information We Collect

Our app collects information to provide core features like OCR, QR code scanning, and ad services. We collect the following types of data:

QR Code Data: Data from QR codes scanned is processed locally on your device and is not stored or transmitted to any external server.
Ad Data: Our app integrates Google AdMob for displaying ads. AdMob may collect data such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and advertising-related data to serve relevant ads and track performance.
App Usage Data: We may collect information on how you interact with our app (e.g., feature usage) to improve the user experience.
