Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At Qkod, our core commitment is to protect the digital privacy of our users and everyone who clicks or scans our shortened links. Our architecture is built around the "Privacy by Design" paradigm.

          Our Core Promise: Qkod never logs raw IP addresses, never injects tracking cookies, and never shares user profiling data with third-party ad networks.
        

1. Zero IP Logging

Unlike conventional URL shorteners, Qkod never stores the raw IP addresses of visitors. For rate-limiting and anti-abuse mechanisms, network identifiers are cryptographically hashed via salted HMAC-SHA256 and cannot be reversed.

2. Cookieless Analytics

Click metrics are calculated without placing any third-party tracking cookies, fingerprinting pixels, or local storage tokens on client devices. Performance data reflects pure redirection counters.

3. Unbreakable Static QR Codes

When you generate a "Static QR Code", the target URL is embedded directly into the matrix without database persistence. These codes operate independently forever with zero redirection dependency.

4. No 3rd Party Data Monetization

We do not sell, rent, or trade traffic data with advertising brokers, tracking corporations, or profiling services.

5. Contact & Inquiries
