These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. About QR Guardian
QR Guardian is a mobile application designed to scan QR codes and help users identify potentially unsafe or malicious content. While we aim to improve user safety, the App does not guarantee that all threats will be detected, nor does it guarantee absolute safety scanning QR codes. QR Guardian is designed as a supportive tool (see App Functionality Disclaimer for more information).

QR Guardian provides safety analysis of QR codes, but:
- We do not guarantee that all QR codes flagged as safe are risk-free
