Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2025

We keep this simple: we collect only what we need to operate Scan The Date, we never sell your data, and we never will. Here's exactly what we do and don't do.

Who we are

Scan The Date ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website scanthedate.com and provides QR code generation services for events and celebrations. You can contact us at hello@scanthedate.com.

We collect information you provide directly to us when you use our service:

Event details: Names, dates, and URLs you enter when creating QR codes
Payment information: Processed securely by Stripe — we never store your card details
Usage data: How you interact with our website (pages visited, features used)
QR scan data: Number of scans, approximate location (country/city level), and device type for your QR analytics dashboard

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

Generate and deliver your QR codes

Each of these services has their own privacy policy and handles data in accordance with applicable law.
