Privacy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Your link, password or note stays in the tab. Here is the whole of it.

What the page collects

Nothing. There is no analytics script, no advertising tag, no cookie, no session, no account and no server side to send anything to. The page is a set of static files: HTML, one stylesheet, a handful of JavaScript files and self-hosted fonts. Every calculation, from the payload string to the finished matrix, happens in your browser's memory.

What is stored in your browser

Three small settings, kept in the browser's local storage so the page opens the way you left it. Their names are pikkola.qr.theme (light or dark), pikkola.qr.lang (en, ko or ja) and pikkola.qr.design (the two colours, error level, quiet zone and dot size). None of them contains your link, your Wi-Fi password or the text of a contact card. Local storage is never read by us and never transmitted.

To clear them, open your browser's site data settings for qr.pikkola.com and delete the entry, or use a private window, where they disappear when you close it.

What is never stored

The payload is not saved, not even in local storage. It exists as long as the tab is open and the field holds it. There is no draft, no history and no autosave, so closing the tab is the same as shredding the paper.

Downloads, clipboard and printing

Both PNG buttons, the SVG button and the print sheet build a file inside the page and hand it to your browser's normal download or print dialog. Nothing is uploaded on the way. The copy button writes an image to your system clipboard through the browser's own clipboard permission, and only when you press it.

What the host sees

Cloudflare serves these files, and like any hosting provider it records requests to the site in its own logs: an IP address, a user agent, the file requested, the time. That record is about the page, not about what you typed, because what you typed never travels. We do not add analytics on top of it and we do not read those logs.

If you write to us

Mail to [email protected] arrives in a mailbox a person reads. We keep it while the conversation is useful and use it only to answer. We do not add the address to a list.

Changes

If this page ever changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it. There is no newsletter to announce it to, so the date is the record.
