Public privacy disclosures for QRift.
This page is publicly accessible for App Store review and for anyone using QRift. It documents camera access, on-device data storage, and contact details.
Last updated: April 26, 2026
Overview
QRift ("the app") is a minimal QR code scanner and generator for iOS. It helps you scan QR codes from your camera or photo library, create codes for URLs, WiFi, contacts, and more, and maintain a searchable history of scanned and created codes. QRift stores your scan history, created codes, and preferences on your device. The free version may show Google AdMob ads. This policy explains what data QRift accesses, what stays on-device, and what is shared with third-party services.
QRift is developed and operated by TheChosenVictor LLC ("we," "us," "our"). Victor Solano owns TheChosenVictor LLC.
Data We Access
Camera (required for scanning)
QRift uses your device camera to scan QR codes. Camera access is requested only when you open the scanner tab for the first time. If you decline camera access, you can still create QR codes and scan from your photo library. No camera data is recorded, stored, or transmitted beyond the moment of scanning.
Photo Library (optional)
QRift can scan QR codes from saved images in your photo library. When you tap the gallery import button, iOS presents a system photo picker. Only the selected image is accessed for scanning. No images are stored or uploaded.
In-App Purchases
QRift offers a one-time, non-consumable purchase ("QRift Pro") that unlocks custom QR code colors, logo embedding, batch creation (up to 50 codes at once), unlimited history, and vector export (SVG and PDF). Purchases are processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit 2 framework. We do not handle or store payment information.
Advertising and Consent
The free version of QRift may show Google AdMob ads. QRift uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK to request and display ads and the Google User Messaging Platform SDK to collect and manage consent where required.
These Google SDKs may process information such as device identifiers, the device advertising identifier when permitted, IP address, coarse location derived from IP address, advertising data, app interactions, crash logs, diagnostics, and performance data for ad delivery, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and service improvement.
QR code content you scan or create, imported images selected for scanning, saved code history, and QR customization settings are not sent to Google for ad targeting.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, QRift uses Google's certified consent management flow before requesting ads when consent is required. Users can consent, decline consent, or manage options in the consent message. If privacy options are required in your region, QRift also provides a privacy options entry point in Settings.
Where required for personalized advertising, QRift uses Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before requesting permission to track. If you allow tracking, ads may be personalized based on your activity across other apps and websites. If you deny tracking, non-personalized or limited ads may be shown. You can change your tracking preference at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
Data We Store On Device
QRift stores the following data locally on your device:
- SwiftData: Scan history (content, type, timestamp), created codes (content, type, customization settings), and user preferences.
- UserDefaults: Appearance preference, haptic feedback toggle, and default browser selection.
None of this app data is synced to any cloud service or backend. There are no user accounts.
Data We Do Not Collect
QRift does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Your precise GPS location
- Contacts or calendar data
- Browsing history
- The content of scanned or created QR codes, except where stored locally in your history
- Images selected through the system photo picker after scanning is complete
- App-owned analytics or usage telemetry outside the ad delivery described above
Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Apple StoreKit | In-app purchases (Pro features) | Apple Privacy Policy |
| Google AdMob | Ads in the free version | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Consent collection and privacy options for ads | Google Privacy Policy |
Google processes advertising data in accordance with their Ads Data Processing Terms. Google acts as a data processor for certain advertising data and as an independent data controller for other data, as described in their terms.
Data Retention
- On-device QRift data is retained until you explicitly clear it within the app or uninstall the app.
- AdMob data is retained by Google per their data retention policies.
- StoreKit purchase records are retained by Apple per their policies.
Data Deletion
You can delete all app data at any time:
- In-app: Open Settings and use the "Clear All Data" button. This permanently removes all scan history, created codes, and user preferences.
- Uninstall: Removing QRift from your device deletes all locally stored data (SwiftData database and UserDefaults).
To request deletion of any data processed by Google AdMob, refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on data deletion and your rights.
Your Rights
For All Users
You may:
- Access your data by viewing your scan history, created codes, and settings within the app.
- Delete your data at any time using Settings > Clear All Data, which permanently removes all scan history, created codes, and user preferences from the device.
- Control ad tracking by changing your preference in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, or by changing ad consent preferences in QRift Settings where privacy options are available.
European Economic Area (GDPR)
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:
- Right to access (Art. 15): request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification (Art. 16): request correction of inaccurate data.
- Right to erasure (Art. 17): request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Right to restrict processing (Art. 18): request that we limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability (Art. 20): request a machine-readable copy of your data.
- Right to object (Art. 21): object to processing of your data for certain purposes.
- Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7): withdraw your ad tracking or ad personalization consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Since QRift stores app data locally on your device with no backend and no user accounts, you already have direct control over your QRift data. Use Settings > Clear All Data to exercise your right to erasure for local app data. For data processed by Google AdMob, contact Google directly using their privacy tools.
For EEA users, Google acts as an independent data controller for the advertising data it collects through AdMob. TheChosenVictor LLC acts as the data controller for the QRift app. You may contact us at [email protected] for any GDPR-related requests.
Data Protection Contact: TheChosenVictor LLC handles privacy requests for this app. A separate Data Protection Officer is not designated for the scale and nature of the processing described here. For all data protection inquiries, contact [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

- Right to delete: request deletion of your personal information.
- Right to opt-out of sale/sharing: opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination: equal service regardless of whether you exercise your privacy rights.

You can opt out at any time by denying tracking in the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt, changing your preference in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, or changing ad consent preferences in QRift Settings where privacy options are available.
