2.1 Camera
Camera access is requested solely to scan QR codes and barcodes in real time. Camera images are processed entirely on your device using on-device machine learning (Google ML Kit). No camera images or video are stored, uploaded, or transmitted.
2.2 Screen Capture (Media Projection)
The optional On-Screen Scanner feature captures your screen to detect QR codes or barcodes visible in other apps. Screen captures are processed locally and immediately discarded after scanning. No screen capture data is stored, uploaded, or transmitted.
2.3 Display Over Other Apps (Overlay)
This permission is required only to display the floating scanner bubble on your screen. It is used for no other purpose.
2.4 Internet
Internet access is required by Google AdMob (the third-party advertising service) to display ads within the App, and to submit optional user feedback through the in-app feedback form.
2.5 Vibration
Vibration is used to provide haptic feedback when a scan is successfully detected.
