QRShield operates as an academic cybersecurity research product designed to detect malicious QR codes and URLs. When you use our service, we collect limited non-personally identifiable information required for structural threat analysis:
Because QRShield is an active security mitigation product, we deeply respect our users' privacy. We do not collect:
URLs processed through the engine are added to an internal academic log database for system tuning and to power the Live Global Threat Feed simulator. The associated labels (Malicious, Suspicious, Safe) and domain names will be visible to concurrent system users. Database structures are ephemeral and subject to erasure during server rebuilds.
This software is produced as a Senior Design Capstone Project for the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at IUB. The developers (Team Eagle) are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from false positives or false negatives during threat analysis. All data generated acts as a tool for cyber forensics and does not constitute legally binding determinations of domain intent.
