Barcoder

Last updated: 2025‑08‑09

Summary

We do not collect, store or share any personal data. Your barcodes, names, and settings are kept on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers because we don’t run any servers for Barcoder.

What the app does

  • Create, import and display barcodes in the app and on Home Screen widgets.
  • All content (barcodes, labels, colors, padding and widget choices) is stored locally on your device.
  • We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app.

Advertising

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app. AdMob may collect and use the following information:

  • Advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS)
  • Device information (model, operating system, screen size)
  • General location (country/region level, not precise location)
  • App usage data for ad performance

You can limit ad tracking in your device settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising > Personalized Ads). For more information about Google's data practices, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

Data we do not collect

We do not directly collect:

  • Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
  • Precise location, contacts, photos or files
  • Barcode contents or scan history
  • Usage analytics beyond what AdMob collects for advertising

If you choose to share a code using the iOS share sheet, the content you send is handled by the apps you select under their own policies.

On‑device storage

Barcodes and preferences are saved in the app’s local storage and the widget’s shared container so widgets can display your selected code. These stores are sandboxed by iOS and are removed if you delete the app or its data.

Permissions

  • Camera (optional): only used to scan barcodes at your request. Live camera images are processed on‑device and are not saved or sent anywhere by the app.

Your choices

  • You can delete barcodes at any time inside the app.
  • Delete the app to remove all app and widget data from your device.

Children’s privacy

Barcoder is suitable for general audiences and does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If our app’s behavior changes (for example, if we add cloud sync or analytics), we will update this policy and the app before any change takes effect.
