Security and privacy
How your information is protected
Each vehicle QR uses a cryptographically generated random 22-character link and contains no personal data. Turnstile verification and send limits reduce abuse risk; App Check helps restrict protected services to the official app. The vehicle owner can deactivate an old QR and generate a replacement.
Your phone number stays with you
Whoever scans cannot see your account phone, name or address. Only a separately entered vehicle contact number may appear with your explicit consent.
Only the real app can connect
Only the official CarQR app can reach your information. Copied or modified apps are blocked.
Bot and spam protection
Whoever sends an alert passes a quick 'I'm not a robot' check, and repeated sends are limited automatically. These controls reduce automated and bulk abuse risk.
The layers that protect you
- 1
Your account number is never published automatically
The QR carries only a secure link. Your account number is not sent to the scan page; an optional vehicle contact number is published only with your separate explicit consent.
- 2
Only the real app has access
Only the official CarQR app can reach your data. A copied or tampered app is rejected.
- 3
Spam and abuse are blocked
Every alert goes through a security check, and frequent repeats are limited automatically. Bulk or frequently repeated sends are restricted.
- 4
A random QR link for each vehicle
Each QR uses a unique, cryptographically generated 22-character link. The code contains no name, phone number, email, or license plate.
- 5
Deleting your account stops the QR
When you delete your account, your QR is turned off. The old sticker stops sending alerts to anyone, and your data is removed.
- 6
Notifications carry no personal data
The notification you get only contains the alert type and which car it's about. Phone, email, plate, and address are never added to it.
Your rights
See your data
You can request a copy of the data on your account whenever you want.
Delete your account
In the app, go to Settings and use 'Delete account' to permanently remove your account and all your data.
Change your preferences
You can update your cookie preferences on the website any time. The app uses no third-party tracking.
CarQR is not an emergency service. Notification delivery can be delayed by device settings, OS battery rules, network conditions, or third-party outages. Always call local emergency services first for urgent situations.
