2. About QR Guardian
QR Guardian provides a mobile application, website and related online services designed to help users scan QR codes, identify potentially unsafe or malicious content, provide educational cybersecurity information and offer optional premium features.

QR Guardian is intended as a decision-support tool and should not replace your own judgement or other security measures.
