1. Introduction
Overnight Technology ("we," "our," or "us") operates the QRrot mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.
Our Commitment: QRrot is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect

- Usage analytics or statistics
- Crash reports or diagnostic data
- Text content you enter into the app
- QR codes you generate
- Any data from your Pebble smartwatch
3. How QRrot Works
Local Processing Only:
- All QR code generation happens entirely on your Android device
- Text you enter is processed locally and never leaves your device
- QR codes are transmitted directly to your Pebble watch via Bluetooth through the Pebble companion app
- We have no servers, databases, or cloud services
- No internet connection is required for QRrot to function
Data Flow:
- You enter text in QRrot
- QRrot generates a QR code bitmap on your device
- The bitmap is sent via Bluetooth to your Pebble watch through the official Pebble/Rebble app
- Nothing is stored, logged, or transmitted to Overnight Technology
4. Third-Party Services
Pebble/Rebble Integration:
- QRrot communicates with your Pebble smartwatch through the official Pebble/Rebble companion app
- This communication uses standard Bluetooth protocols and PebbleKit APIs
- We do not control or have access to data handled by the Pebble/Rebble app
- Please review the Pebble/Rebble app's privacy policy for information about their data practices
No Other Third Parties:
- QRrot does not integrate with any analytics services
- No advertising networks or tracking SDKs
- No social media integrations
- No payment processors (the app is free)
5. App Permissions
QRrot requests the following Android permissions:
Bluetooth Permissions (BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, BLUETOOTH_SCAN, BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE):
- Purpose: Required to communicate with your Pebble smartwatch

6. Data Storage

- These preferences are stored in Android's standard SharedPreferences
- This data never leaves your device
- You can clear this data by uninstalling the app or clearing app data in Android settings
No Cloud Storage:
- We do not maintain any servers or databases
- No user accounts or registration required
- No data synchronization or backup to cloud services
7. Children's Privacy
QRrot does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. The app is designed to be privacy-safe for all ages.
8. International Users
QRrot can be used anywhere in the world. Since we do not collect or process any personal data, international data transfer regulations (such as GDPR) do not apply to our app's core functionality.
GDPR Compliance:
- No personal data is processed
- No data controllers or processors involved
- No cookies or tracking technologies used
- Users have complete control as all processing is local
9. Security
While we do not collect data, we implement security best practices:
- All code is reviewed for security vulnerabilities
- App is distributed through official Google Play Store with signing verification
- Communication with Pebble watch uses encrypted Bluetooth connections (handled by Android OS)
- No network communication means no risk of data interception
10. Your Rights and Choices
Since QRrot does not collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) do not apply. However:
You Control Everything:
- All data processing happens on your device
- You can delete the app at any time
- Clearing app data removes all local preferences
- No account deletion needed (we don't have accounts)
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of QRrot after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Open Source
QRrot is committed to transparency. The app uses open-source components:
- ZXing library for QR code generation
- PebbleKit SDK for Pebble communication
You can review the source code of these components to verify our privacy claims.
