Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.
If you request that we delete your data, we will delete your information as soon as practicable, although in some cases it may be impossible to completely delete your information due to backup retention or regulatory requirements.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Protection Measures
Our security measures include:
- Encryption of sensitive information
- Regular security assessments and audits
- Limited access to personal information by our employees and contractors
- Physical security measures at our facilities
- Employee confidentiality agreements
Client-Side Processing for Barcode Generation
For your privacy and security, our barcode generation process happens entirely within your browser (client-side). This means the data you input to generate barcodes never gets transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly save or share your barcodes using our services. This approach provides a higher level of data security and privacy for sensitive information you may include in your barcodes.

Back to Top ↑8. International Data Transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
Specifically, our website servers are located in the United States, and our third-party service providers and partners operate globally. This means that when we collect your personal information, we may process it in any of these countries.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These include implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers, which require all parties to protect personal information to the standard required by EU law.
