Osori QR Privacy Policy
Osori Studio ("the Studio") publishes the following in accordance with Article 30 of the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea regarding the processing of personal data in Osori QR ("the App").
1. Personal data processed and purposes
The Studio does not collect personal data through the App. The App has no sign-up, no login and no communication with any Studio server.
The following data that you enter or save in the App is stored on your device only and is never transmitted to the Studio:
- scan, generation and share history (QR content, type, date, tags, favourite flag) and app settings (language, theme, accent colour)
JSON backup and CSV export files are created only when you run them, and you choose where they are saved or shared.
An advertising SDK included in the App processes the data described in section 2 in order to serve ads.
2. Behavioural data collected by a third-party advertising provider
To show ads, the App includes the Google AdMob SDK provided by Google LLC. While requesting and displaying ads the SDK collects and processes the data below. Google collects and processes this data directly; the Studio has no access to it.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Collected and processed by | Google LLC (AdMob) |
| Data collected | Advertising identifier (Android advertising ID), device information (model, OS version, language, screen size), approximate location derived from IP address, ad interactions such as impressions and clicks, crash and diagnostic data |
| How it is collected | Automatically by the SDK when the App requests and displays ads |
| Purposes | Serving and measuring ads, ad personalisation, fraud prevention |
| Retention | Per the Google Privacy Policy |
| How to opt out | Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation or Reset advertising ID |
| iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track | |
| Google's terms | Google Privacy Policy, How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services |
3. Transfer of personal data abroad
The data in section 2 is transmitted over the network to Google LLC in the United States when the App requests ads.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Recipient | Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) |
| Country | United States |
| When and how | Transmitted over the network when the App requests and displays ads |
| Data and purposes | As in section 2 |
| Retention | Per the Google Privacy Policy |
| How to refuse | Decline collection of the advertising identifier as described in section 2 |
4. Sharing with third parties and outsourced processing
The Studio holds no personal data, so there is no personal data that it shares with third parties or outsources for processing. The advertising provider in section 2 collects data directly through the SDK rather than receiving it from the Studio.
5. App permissions
Optional permissions are requested when you first use the related feature; if you decline, the rest of the App remains fully usable. You can change permissions at any time in your device settings.
| Permission | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Optional | Scanning QR codes |
| Photos / media (gallery) | Optional | Reading a QR code from a gallery image; saving generated QR images |
| Contacts | Optional | Pre-filling the device's contact editor when a contact (vCard) QR is read. The app does not read your contact list |
| Location (approximate and precise), change Wi‑Fi state | Optional | Joining a network directly from a Wi‑Fi QR (required by Android). Location is not stored or transmitted |
| Internet / network state | Required | Showing ads; opening scanned links |
6. Retention and deletion
The Studio holds no personal data, so there is nothing for the Studio to delete. Data stored on your device is removed when you delete it in the App or uninstall the App.
7. Your rights and how to exercise them
You can view, edit and delete your records in the App at any time, and remove all of them by uninstalling the App. Rights concerning the advertising identifier are exercised as described in section 2. Any other request to access, correct, delete or suspend processing of personal data can be sent to the contact in section 8, and the Studio will respond within the period set by the Personal Information Protection Act. The legal guardian of a child under 14 may exercise the same rights on the child's behalf.
