Privacy Policy
This is a translation. If there is any difference, the Korean version prevails.
avenso (“we”) operates addressQr (addressqr.avenso.app, the “Service”) and handles personal information in line with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act and related laws. The Service works without sign-up, and we do not collect names, phone numbers or email addresses.
1. Information we process
| Category | Items | How it is collected |
|---|---|---|
| Creating a QR | Place name, address, coordinates (latitude and longitude), country, note for drivers | Entered by the user |
| Device identifier | A random value stored in a cookie (aq_owner). It is not linked to your name or contact details | Created automatically when you first make a QR |
| QR scan records | Time of scan, device type (iOS, Android, other), whether an app-specific QR was used. We do not store IP addresses or locations | Created automatically when a QR link is opened |
| Default navigation app | The app chosen with “Always open this app”. Stored only on your device and never sent to our server | Chosen by the user |
| Access logs | IP address, browser information, access time, etc. Processed by our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) for security and troubleshooting | Automatically on access |
An address may be someone’s home address, so please enter only what is necessary.
2. Purposes
- To create QR codes and links, and pass the destination to the navigation app the driver chooses
- To show “QR codes made on this device” and let you delete them
- To produce statistics such as scan counts to improve the Service
- To prevent abuse such as mass creation and keep the Service secure
3. Retention and deletion
| Information | Retention period |
|---|---|
| QR (destination information) | Until you delete it |
| One-time QR made without a place name | Expires 7 days after creation |
| Deleted or expired QR | Kept for 30 days to handle recovery requests, then deleted automatically (including its scan records) |
| QR scan records | Deleted automatically after 365 days |
| Device identifier cookie | About 400 days (you can delete it in your browser at any time) |
Deletion runs automatically every day, and electronic files are erased so they cannot be recovered.
4. Who can see the information
We do not sell or provide personal information to other companies or organizations. However, by the nature of the Service, anyone who receives a QR code or link can see its place name, address and note. We may disclose information when lawfully requested by authorities under applicable law.
5. Service providers and external services
| Provider / service | Purpose | Information sent |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) | Website servers and database | All information in section 1 (may be stored and processed on servers outside Korea) |
| OpenStreetMap Foundation (Nominatim, UK) | Converting typed addresses to coordinates | Address search terms |
| Kakao (postcode service) | Korean road/lot address search screen | Search terms typed into that screen |
| OpenStreetMap (map tiles) | Showing the arrival-point map | The map area being viewed (requested directly by your browser) |
| Navigation apps such as TMAP, Naver Map, KakaoMap, Google Maps and Waze | Navigation in the app the driver chooses | Destination coordinates and place name (only when the driver taps the button) |
Information is sent to overseas services over the network at the time you use the Service. Each service handles information under its own privacy policy.
6. Advertising
The Service currently shows no ads. If we start showing Google AdSense (web) or Google AdMob (app) ads, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or device identifiers to show ads based on your interests. We will update this policy before ads start. You can turn off personalized ads in Google Ad Settings.
7. Your rights
- You can delete a QR at any time on the device that made it (“Delete QR” on the share screen).
- If you clear your browser cookies, the device identifier is removed and you can no longer list or delete QR codes made earlier. In that case, please contact us.
- For access, correction, deletion or suspension of processing, please contact us below.
8. Children
The Service does not collect age information and is not directed at children under 14.
9. Security measures
- All communication is encrypted with HTTPS.
- Database access is limited to the operator’s account.
- We do not store unnecessary information such as IP addresses.
