QRSpike Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

QRSpike.com ("QRSpike," "we," "our," and/or "us") values the privacy of individuals or businesses who use our website, mobile applications, and services that link to this Privacy Policy. Through our Services, we seek to assist customers with their marketing efforts through the use of QR codes.

This Privacy Policy applies to all of our Services, including the QRSpike website at www.QRSpike.com (the "Site") and our mobile applications, including the QRSpike iOS app (collectively, the "Services"). References to the Site in this Privacy Policy also apply to our mobile applications unless otherwise noted.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from those who engage with our Services. The Personal Data and how we use or process it, differs depending on whether you are a website visitor, a user or potential user of our services, or a person who does, or is trying to do, business with one of our Customers (“Business Users”) (collectively, we refer to Visitors, Business Users and Customers as “You”).

If You are an Customer that has entered into an agreement with QRSpike, Your use of our Services is also subject to those agreed terms. If You are a Customer, Your agreement with the relevant Business User should explain how the Business User collects, uses, and shares Your Personal Data. If You have questions about the Customer’s Personal Data practices, then You should direct those questions to that Business User.

1. Personal Data Collection

We may collect a variety of Personal Data from or about You or Your devices from various sources, as described below. If You do not provide Your Personal Data when requested, You may not be able to use our Services if that information is necessary to provide You with our Services.

  1. Registration. When You register for an account to use our Services, we ask You for Your Personal Data, including Your name, phone number, and email address.

    Communications. If You contact us directly, we may receive additional Personal Data about You. For example, when You contact we will ask for Your name, company name, phone number, email address, and Your request, and other information You communicate to us. If You subscribe to our newsletter, we will ask for Your name and contact information, such as email address.

    Mobile App Sign-In. When You sign in to the QRSpike iOS app (or other QRSpike mobile applications), You provide Your account email address and password so the app can authenticate You against the QRSpike API. The app communicates with the QRSpike API over a secure HTTPS connection in order to create, retrieve, update, and manage Your QR codes and related account data. Your sign-in credentials are stored securely on Your device using Apple's Keychain Services (or the equivalent secure storage on other platforms) so You do not have to re-enter them on every launch. These credentials are never shared with third parties and are only transmitted to QRSpike for the purpose of authenticating Your account.

    Clipboard Use. The QRSpike iOS app may, at Your request, copy short pieces of text such as a QR code's target URL or unique identifier to Your device's clipboard so You can paste it elsewhere. This clipboard usage is initiated only by Your action (for example, tapping a copy button), is temporary, and is not transmitted back to QRSpike.
  2. Personal Data We Collect Automatically. Location Information. For Customers and Visitors, when You use our Services, we may infer Your general location information. For example, Your IP address may indicate Your general geographic region.

    Device Information. For Customers and Visitors, we receive information about the device and software You use to access our Services, including internet protocol (IP) address, web browser type, operating system version, and device identifiers.

    Information from Cookies. Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that we store on Your browser or the hard drive of Your computer. They contain information that is transferred to Your computer’s hard drive. For Customers and Visitors, we use cookies, beacons, invisible tags, pixel tags, web beacons and similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”) to collect information about Your browsing activities and to distinguish You from other Customers and Visitors.

Vendors and Service Providers. We may share any Personal Data we receive with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services.

Analytics Partners. We use analytics services such as Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data.

Advertising and Marketing Partners. We do not rent, sell, or share Personal Data about You with non-affiliated companies for their direct marketing purposes.

As Required by Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose Your Personal Data if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (i) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) respond to Your requests; or (iii) protect Your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety.

Payment Processing. We use Stripe for identity document verification. Stripe collects identity document images, facial images, ID numbers and addresses as well as advanced fraud signals and information about the devices that connect to its services. Stripe shares this information with us and also uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides, including for fraud detection. You may also choose to allow Stripe to use your data to improve Stripe’s biometric verification technology. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Consent. We may also disclose Personal Data with Your separate permission.

4. Personal Data Handling Practices

  1. Retention. We take measures to delete Your Personal Data or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying You when such information is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are required by law to keep such information for a longer period. When determining the specific retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of service provided to You, the nature and length of our relationship with You, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
  2. Security. We make reasonable efforts to protect Your Personal Data by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to secure the Personal Data we maintain. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of Personal Data can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of Your Personal Data.
  3. Location. Our Services are hosted in the United States (“US”).
  4. Children’s Privacy. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Data from children under 18 years of age, and no parts of our Services are directed to children. If You learn that a child has provided us with Personal Data, please alert us as provided in the Contact Information section below.

5. Your Choices

If You choose not to provide us with the Personal Data we collect, some features of our Services may not work as intended.

  1. Marketing Communications. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails and SMS messages by following the directions in the messages You receive. Even if You opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, (1) if You are a Customer, You will continue to receive administrative messages from us related to Services, and (2) if You are a Customer that has sought information or support from us, we may continue to contact You regarding that matter.
  2. Do Not Track. We use tracking technologies such as cookies. Learn more in the Cookie Policy. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) features that can send a signal to the websites You visit indicating You do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our websites do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, You can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described above.

6. Your Privacy Rights Granted by Law
