About TemporaryQR
TemporaryQR was built on a simple premise: QR codes should work for you, not against you. Most QR generators track every scan, harvest behavioral data, and lock your codes behind paid subscriptions. We built something different.
Our Mission
To give individuals, businesses, and developers a tool for generating temporary, privacy-respecting QR codes — completely free, without requiring an account or surrendering personal data.
Privacy by Design
Every feature is designed with privacy in mind. Passwords are hashed before storage, IP addresses are never stored in plaintext, and QR data is automatically purged when it expires.
Built on the Edge
TemporaryQR runs entirely on Cloudflare's global edge network. QR redirects are served in under 80ms from data centers near your scanners — whether they're in New York, London, or Tokyo.
Global Compliance
We comply with GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and PECR (UK) data protection frameworks. A Cookiebot-powered consent banner ensures tracking is opt-in, not opt-out.
How We're Different
No account required
Create QR codes in seconds without registering. Management is done via a private link.
Automatic deletion
Expired QR codes are automatically purged from storage. We don't hoard your data.
Transparent analytics
Scan analytics are visible only to the QR creator. We don't build behavioral profiles.
Open security model
We document exactly how passwords are hashed and how IP data is handled — no vague promises.
Ad-supported, not data-supported
TemporaryQR is free because of tasteful, non-intrusive advertising — not because we monetize your data. Since 2026, that model hasn't changed.
