What a QR Code Generator Actually Sees
Generating a vCard QR code means typing in your full name, phone number, email, and possibly your company and address — real personal contact information. If the generator sends that data to a server just to render the QR image, your details are transmitted somewhere before the code is even created, regardless of what the service's privacy policy claims about retention.
How This Generator Avoids That
This QR Code Generator renders the code entirely in JavaScript, inside your own browser tab. Whatever you enter — a URL, an email, or full contact details for a vCard — is encoded into the QR pattern locally, on your device. It never gets sent to a server for processing. This is checkable, not just a stated claim.
- Open the Network tab in your browser's developer tools and generate a code — you won't see your input data leave in a request.
- Disconnect from the internet after the page loads, and generate anyway — it still works, since there's no server dependency involved.
Why This Matters Especially for Contact QR Codes
A vCard QR code contains exactly the kind of personal information — full name, direct phone number, email — that's worth being deliberate about where it passes through. Client-side generation means there's no server log of the contact details you entered, no third-party retention policy to trust, and nothing beyond your own browser involved in creating the code.
