Privacy policy

The short version: the tools on Qodeplate run in your browser. What you type, upload or scan is not sent to us and is not stored by us. We set no cookies, and our visitor statistics are anonymous and cookie-free.

Deutsche Fassung: Datenschutzerklärung · Last updated: 12 November 2026 (visitor statistics added)

1. Who is responsible

The controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Further company details are in the legal notice.

2. The tools: your data stays on your device

The QR code generator, barcode generator, bulk label maker, sign maker and PayPal QR code page create codes, images and PDFs in your browser. The links, Wi-Fi passwords, contact details, IBANs, product lists and logos you enter are not transmitted to us or to anyone else, and we do not store them. The QR code scanner reads images on your device; the image is never uploaded.

When you use the “Make a printable sign with this code” button, the details you entered are passed to the sign page using your browser’s session storage. They stay on your device and are deleted when you close the tab.

3. Hosting and server logs

The website is delivered by Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you open a page, Cloudflare processes technical data needed to deliver the page and protect it against attacks: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, your browser’s user agent and similar request data. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Cloudflare.

4. Fonts and scripts

All fonts and scripts for the tools are served from our own domain. Your browser does not contact Google Fonts or other external content networks when you use the tools. The only exceptions are the spam check on the contact page (section 6) and the small statistics script described in section 7.

5. Contact by email

If you email us at qodeplate@gmail.com, we process your email address, your name if given and the content of your message to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for enquiries about our services, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our mailbox is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland); Google may process data in the USA, where Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We delete messages when they are no longer needed to answer you, unless we must keep them for legal reasons.

6. Contact form and spam check

The contact form sends your name, email address and message to us. The message is passed by Cloudflare Email Routing (Cloudflare, Inc.) to our mailbox described in section 5, and is not stored on the website. The legal basis is the same as for email.

To protect the form from spam we use Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact page only. Turnstile checks whether the visitor is a person by evaluating technical signals from your browser and device (such as your IP address and browser properties); it does not use cookies to track you across sites. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in preventing spam (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). More information: Cloudflare privacy policy.

7. Cookies, statistics and tracking

We set no cookies and use no tracking pixels, and there are no user accounts or newsletters.

To see how many people use the site and which pages they open, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics (Cloudflare, Inc.). A small script loaded from static.cloudflareinsights.com reports anonymous page-view data: the page address, the referring page, the browser and device type, the country and page-loading times. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not use your IP address to identify you and does not follow you across websites. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used and keeping it fast (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). More information: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

8. Advertising (planned)

We plan to show ads from Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited) to pay for the site. Before that starts, this policy will be updated and a consent banner certified by Google will ask for your consent before any advertising cookies are set or personalised ads are shown (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You will be able to withdraw your consent at any time through a link on every page.

9. Your rights

You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict its processing, to data portability, and to object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To use these rights, email qodeplate@gmail.com.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU country where you live or work. Our lead authority is the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection (Комисия за защита на личните данни), 2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., 1592 Sofia, Bulgaria, www.cpdp.bg.

10. Changes

We update this policy when the website changes, for example when advertising starts. The date at the top shows the latest version.
