Who We Are

Welcome to UTS QR Scanner! Our website address is https://utsqrscanner.apploomia.com/. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

Tracking and Data Collection

To improve our website and enhance user experience, we track data using reliable third-party tools:

• Google Analytics – Helps us understand website traffic and user behavior.

• Google Search Console – Ensures our website performs well in search results.

• Fluent Forms – Tracks form submissions and user interactions.

• Google Sheets – Organizes and analyzes collected data for better service improvements.

These tools allow us to monitor performance, fix issues, and optimize user experience without collecting personal login details, as our website does not support user accounts.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Ads

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and tracking technologies to show relevant ads.

How Google AdSense Works:
✔ Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
✔ Google may also collect non-personal data, such as your IP address, device type, and browsing behavior, to improve ad relevance.
✔ You can opt out of personalized ads through Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/.

For more details, read Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Comments

If visitors leave comments on our website, we collect:
✅ The data entered in the comment form (such as name and comment content).
✅ The visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

Additionally, an anonymized hash of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check if you use the service. If approved, your profile picture will appear with your comment. Read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device to enhance website functionality and improve user experience. Our website may use cookies in the following ways:

• Comments Cookies – If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter details next time. These cookies last one year.

• Advertising Cookies – Used by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to serve relevant ads.

• Session Cookies – Temporary cookies may be used to manage user interaction with forms and track preferences. These are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

🔹 Managing Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings. However, doing so may affect certain website features, including ad personalization.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the original source, which means those sites may:
✔ Collect data about you
✔ Use cookies
✔ Track your interactions

To understand how they handle your data, check their privacy policies directly.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you fill out a form or leave a comment, the information may be processed through an automated spam detection service to prevent abuse.

• Comments – Stored indefinitely to allow follow-up conversations without delay.

• Form Submissions – Retained for service improvements and response tracking.

• Advertising Data – Managed by Google AdSense based on their ad-serving policies.

Since we do not have user accounts, we do not store personal login details.

🔹 Request an exported file of the data we hold about you.
🔹 Ask for data deletion, except for information needed for security or legal reasons.
