Code Corporation has released CodeQR, a smartphone QR code reader app that’s free for download on the App Store or Google Play.
According to Brian Lampright, senior product Manager at Code Corporation, the utility doesn’t capture or record the data that is decoded from the barcode. This means it doesn’t — and, in fact, can’t —sell any of the data to third parties, he adds.
The only data being collected from CodeQR is standard and anonymized app analytics related to the usage (such as frequency of use) and performance of the app which is used to improve product developments.
