At Badgely, we believe that your privacy is fundamental. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our bulk QR code scanning application.
Our Privacy Philosophy
We built Badgely with privacy at its core. Unlike many other applications, we believe that your contact data should remain yours and yours alone. We've designed our app to operate entirely on your device, ensuring that your information never leaves your control.
Data Storage
Local Storage Only
- All contact data is stored locally on your device - When you scan QR codes containing vCard information, this data is stored only on your smartphone or tablet.
- No data is sent to external servers - We do not transmit, upload, or sync any of your contact information to our servers or any third-party services.
- Your privacy is our priority - We've designed Badgely to be completely offline-first, ensuring your data remains under your control at all times.

How We Use Your Data

Data Security
Protecting Your Information
