3. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (hosting, payment processing, email delivery) strictly to operate the Service.
4. Cookies
Scanly uses essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account data and QR code content for as long as your account is active. Scan analytics are retained for the lifetime of the associated QR code. If you delete your account, your data will be removed within 30 days.
