What we do not keep

We never store what you encode. Not the text, not the URL, not a hash of either. There is no database column for it and no log line that contains it. A hash would be no better: a hash of a WiFi password is one lookup table away from the password.

We do not store your IP address. The only place it appears is an in-memory rate-limit counter, as a salted hash that expires within sixty seconds and is never written to disk.

No cookies. No analytics. No third-party scripts. No tracking pixels.

What we do record

When you download a code — not when you preview one — we save a row describing its shape: the file format, the physical size, the error-correction level, the module count, which colour and shape you chose, how many bytes the content was, and a one-word category such as “url” or “wifi”. That is the whole row. It tells us whether anyone uses the product and which options matter; it cannot tell us, or anyone else, what your code says.

Fonts, images and hosting

Fonts are served from our own servers, not from Google’s — your browser makes no request to a third party when you load this page. Pictures on our pages are stored with our content management provider and are fetched by our server and passed on to you, so your browser does not talk to them either.

scanbam runs on a server rented from Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, in their Nuremberg data centre. Hetzner acts as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR. The server is in Germany, and serving this site involves no transfer of personal data outside the EU.

The pages you read are written and stored with Storyblok GmbH, Peter-Behrens-Platz 2, 4020 Linz, Austria, on servers in the EU. They hold the words on this site, not anything about you: our server fetches the page and sends it to you, so Storyblok never sees your visit.

We keep no web-server access log, so your IP address is not written to disk at any point in answering your request.
