QuvoRetro Privacy Policy
Developer: Lovato Technologies LLC
Effective date: November 8, 2026
Privacy and support contact: Lovatotechno@gmail.com
This policy describes the Android phone and Wear OS versions of QuvoRetro, including its optional home-screen widget, live wallpaper, and QuvoRetro Clock companion watch face. QuvoRetro creates, stores, displays, and shares QR cards for websites, text, contact details and, in supported versions, Tiny Pages. You do not need a QuvoRetro account.
The Apple versions and TestFlight section below also covers QuvoRetro for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, including development and beta builds. The Android-specific transport, live-wallpaper and backup descriptions do not apply to Apple versions.
Android and Wear OS versions
Information you enter and store
The app processes the card names, web links, text, and contact details you enter. Contact fields may include a name, company, email address, phone number, and website. The app does not read your device's address book. Card contents are used to create QR codes on your device.
Cards and preferences are stored in app-private storage. Preferences include favorites, Main QR selection, theme, logo choices, language, and synchronization information. The app does not provide its own online account, cloud backup, advertising, analytics, QR tracking, or QR-generation service. Lovato Technologies LLC does not receive your card library through the app. Tiny Page viewer requests and optional externally hosted logo images are described below.
Phone and watch synchronization
QuvoRetro sends up to eight favorite cards and your Main QR card from your phone to the matching app on your paired Wear OS watch. Main QR is a separate selection and is sent even when that card is not a favorite. Theme, logo, and language choices also synchronize between the paired apps. The watch stores received cards so it can display them while disconnected.
Synchronization uses Google's Wear OS Data Layer service. According to Google's Data Layer documentation, it uses encrypted Bluetooth transport when available and automatically routes data through Google Cloud, with end-to-end encryption, when Bluetooth is unavailable. QuvoRetro does not operate a relay server or receive the contents of these transfers. Google provides the underlying connectivity service under its own terms and privacy policy.
Sharing and QR codes
Anyone who scans or receives one of your QR codes can read its encoded contents. Choose what you include accordingly. Showing a QR code does not make its contents private or encrypted.
If you add the home-screen widget, apply the live wallpaper, or select a watch face using QuvoRetro's Main QR complication, your Main QR can be displayed outside the app. The phone supplies its QR image and card title to the Android launcher for the widget and draws them in the live wallpaper. On the watch, the QuvoRetro app supplies a QR image and a description containing the card title to Wear OS and the selected watch face. QuvoRetro Clock uses this complication to display the QR. Anyone who can see these displays may be able to scan the code. You can remove the widget, change the wallpaper, or change the watch face or complication using your device's controls.
If you choose Share image, the app creates a PNG in its private cache and uses Android's sharing interface to grant the app you choose access to that image. The receiving app and anyone you send it to control their copies. If you choose Copy, the card's encoded text is placed on the system clipboard, where Android's clipboard access rules apply.
Visiting a website encoded in a QR code is governed by that website's practices; QuvoRetro does not control the destination. Google Play and other platform services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
Tiny Pages, shared links and optional logo images
This section applies to supported Android and Apple versions and to the shared Tiny Page web viewer. A creator enters a title, up to six labeled links and, optionally, the HTTPS address of a logo image. The app encodes these details in the QR link. The image itself is not embedded in the QR or uploaded to us as a logo.
Opening a Tiny Page downloads a shared viewer from labmunkz.com/QuvoRetro/tiny/; older /q/ links also work. The viewer reads the content from the URL fragment (the part after #) in the visitor's browser. That fragment is not included in the browser's HTTP request to our server. We do not save individual customer pages or operate a database of their encoded content. This is shared web hosting, not a fully offline webpage.
The link is not encrypted or access-controlled. Anyone who receives or sees the full link or QR can read and share its content. Browser history, bookmarks, screenshots, messages and chosen browser-sync services may retain copies. A visitor can bookmark the page. Editing a card creates an updated link and QR; it does not update or revoke previously shared links, printed codes or bookmarks. Avoid including secrets.
Our hosting and network providers process ordinary web requests for the viewer and site assets. Request information may include an IP address, requested path, date and time, browser or device headers and security diagnostics, and may be recorded in server or provider logs for delivery, security and troubleshooting. This is separate from the QR library stored on your device. The viewer does not send its decoded page content to our server and does not add advertising or analytics scripts.
Images presented as logos
Logo images are chosen by the page creator and loaded from their external HTTPS links. Users are responsible for the logos they choose and share, including having the right to use them. QuvoRetro and Lovato Technologies LLC do not claim ownership of, screen, verify or endorse user-provided logos. A logo is not proof of identity or affiliation.
When a creator previews a linked logo in the app, or a visitor opens a Tiny Page containing one, the image is requested directly from the creator-selected image host. That host may receive the requester’s IP address, request time, browser or app headers, and the image URL, including any identifiers the creator placed in it. The host's privacy practices apply. The web viewer requests images without a referrer; it does not upload the QR library. App previews use technical checks such as HTTPS and image-size limits, which are not content screening.
Use a public image URL you are allowed to share. The image host can change or remove the image, and the image may be unavailable without internet access. A changed remote image can appear in an already-shared Tiny Page. Links and logos do not establish verification or endorsement by QuvoRetro. Contact Lovatotechno@gmail.com with a concern about a Tiny Page or logo and include only the information needed for your report.
Choosing a website, call, text-message or email button hands that action to the browser or the appropriate app. The destination and any information you choose to send are governed by that service's practices. Internet access is needed for the viewer, linked logos and online destinations.
Retention and deletion
Saved cards stay in app-private storage until you delete them or remove the app's local data. You can delete cards on the phone. Deleting a card or changing favorites or Main QR sends an updated card list to the watch. Unfavoriting the Main QR card does not remove it from the watch: to keep that card on the phone but exclude it from watch synchronization, choose a different Main QR and unmark the former card as a favorite. A disconnected watch may retain an old copy until synchronization succeeds. Reconnect the devices and verify both the watch app and its QR complication before relying on removal there.
When you delete the Main QR card, QuvoRetro selects a remaining favorite, or otherwise a remaining saved card, as its replacement. The widget and live wallpaper use the current Main QR, and the watch complication uses the latest card list received by the watch. Check these displays after a change; device-managed display updates may not be immediate. Remove the widget or change the wallpaper, watch face, or complication if you no longer want a QR displayed there.
Exported or shared QR images and screenshots are separate copies. If you set one of these images as a static wallpaper, that wallpaper is also a separate copy. Editing or deleting the original card does not change or revoke those copies; they may remain until you or their recipients remove or replace them.
Generated sharing images may remain in the app's cache until Android clears the cache or the app's local data is removed. Clearing local data on one device does not remove copies already sent to another app, person, or disconnected paired device. QuvoRetro is configured to exclude its private storage from Android cloud backup and device-transfer backup. There is no QuvoRetro account or developer-hosted card library for us to delete or restore.
Security
The app uses Android's app-private storage and the platform's encrypted phone/watch transport. Local storage is protected by the device's operating system and your device security settings; QuvoRetro does not add a separate encrypted card vault or app password. Protect access to your devices. Do not put secrets in a QR code you intend to show or share.
Apple versions and TestFlight
Local QR cards and preferences
On iPhone and iPad, QuvoRetro processes the card names, links, text and contact details you enter to generate QR codes on your device. It does not read your address book. Cards and preferences are saved in the app's local storage. Country-code suggestions and phone-number formatting use bundled offline information; the app does not send those numbers to a validation service. The app has no account, advertising, third-party analytics SDK, QR-tracking service or developer-hosted card library.
Apple Watch and widgets
A paired iPhone sends rendered QR information, card titles and types for Main QR and up to eight favorites to Apple Watch through Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. Language and appearance preferences also synchronize. The watch keeps received cards for offline display. iPad cannot provide the Apple Watch companion connection. QuvoRetro does not operate a synchronization server.
For widgets, the app writes the selected Main QR's rendered information, title, type and language to a local App Group container shared with its widget extension. Home Screen widgets can display the QR outside the app. Compatible Lock Screen accessories and Apple Watch complications provide shortcuts; some show the card name. Anyone who can see a displayed QR may scan its contents. The temporary QuvoRetro Test build omits shared widgets and Apple Watch support and keeps its own separate card library.
Sharing, wallpaper and copies
Sharing QR images and exporting wallpaper use Apple's system sharing interface. The destination you choose receives the exported image and controls its copy. Apple wallpaper export produces a static image that you apply manually; changing Main QR does not update an exported wallpaper. QR images, screenshots, shared copies and wallpapers may remain after the original card is changed or deleted. Remove or replace those copies separately. Opening a shared website is governed by that website's practices.
Retention, backups and deletion
Delete cards in the iPhone or iPad app to remove them from its library. Updates reach a paired watch when synchronization succeeds, and widgets refresh when the operating system allows. A disconnected watch or an existing widget view may temporarily show older data. Verify those displays after deleting a card, or remove the widget/complication when needed. Clearing one device does not erase copies already shared elsewhere.
Apple versions do not exclude their saved app data from normal operating-system backups. Depending on your settings, card data and preferences may be included in iCloud or computer backups and later restored. Manage those copies through Apple's device and backup controls. QuvoRetro does not operate its own cloud backup. Local storage protection depends on the operating system and device settings; there is no separate QuvoRetro password or encrypted vault.
TestFlight testing and feedback
Apple operates TestFlight. TestFlight collects crash and usage information and makes testing information available to the developer. If you send feedback, Apple and the developer receive the text, screenshots and related diagnostic information you submit. Email invitations may associate your name and email address with testing activity. We use this information to investigate problems and improve QuvoRetro. This is separate from the app's local QR library. Do not include private QR contents in feedback unless you intend to share them. See Apple's TestFlight privacy information and Apple's Privacy Policy.
Contacting us
For privacy questions or support, email Lovatotechno@gmail.com. If you contact us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use this information to respond to and follow up on your request. Do not send confidential card contents unless necessary for your request.
We use Gmail to receive and respond to support email. Google processes the delivery and storage of those messages under its privacy policy.
We keep support correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to resolve and follow up on your request, maintain necessary support records, and meet applicable legal obligations. You can request deletion of your support correspondence by emailing the same address. We may retain information when necessary to comply with legal obligations or resolve an ongoing dispute. This does not give us access to the cards stored on your devices.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy if QuvoRetro's data practices change and revise the effective date above.
