BarcodesGenerator

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

This policy describes the current data flow when you use BarcodesGenerator at barcodesgenerator.net, plus the conditions that must be met before optional advertising or analytics can be activated. The barcode tools are designed to minimize data collection: input processing and file creation happen in your browser.

1. Site operator and privacy contact

The legal operator name and public operator address have not both been configured. The publisher brand is not presented as a substitute for a legal identity; the missing-state warning above is the authoritative production gate.

No monitored privacy-contact address is configured for this deployment.

2. Barcode content is processed locally

The content you type into BarcodesGenerator — product numbers, ISBNs, text for Code 128 or Code 39 symbols — is processed by JavaScript running on your own device. Validation, check-digit computation, barcode rendering, and SVG/PNG/vector-PDF file creation all happen locally; your input is not transmitted to the site operator's servers, logged by the application, or stored by the application. Downloaded files are created by your browser. Closing or reloading the page discards the tool state. CSV, TSV, and text files selected in the bulk label tool are likewise read locally in the browser and are not uploaded by the application. Optional measurement must never include values you enter, imported rows, filenames, label text, or generated barcode payloads.

3. Technical hosting data

BarcodesGenerator is hosted on Vercel. Like virtually all web hosting, serving pages involves processing technical request data such as your IP address, browser user-agent, and requested URLs. That data may appear in infrastructure logs used to deliver and secure the site. Vercel's own retention, security, and international-processing terms govern provider-held data; see Vercel's privacy policy.

4. Current cookies, consent, and optional-service state

The generators do not need cookies. A Google Privacy & Messaging consent integration is present but stays inactive unless an optional service passes its publisher-ID, route, operator-disclosure, owner-attestation, and CSP gates. An optional GA4 loader is implemented but disabled by default. A configured analytics ID by itself does not load a vendor. GA4 delivery is disabled in this build, so analytics event calls remain local no-ops. AdSense ad delivery is disabled in this build. The public ads.txt record and a site-verification meta tag identify the publisher account but do not themselves set cookies or request an ad.

Before optional technologies are enabled, the owner must configure and verify the Google-certified consent message in the AdSense account, test that consent-dependent tags wait for the applicable choice, confirm the footer control reopens the message, document the actual providers and retention settings, and complete the operator disclosure above. GA4 additionally requires both Google Privacy & Messaging consent-mode settings—including “Consent mode for analytics purposes”—an observed analytics-storage allow/deny/revoke test, and verified disabling of Enhanced Measurement and configurable automatic event detection. Refusing optional consent must not prevent use of the barcode tools.

5. Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is the only optional analytics provider implemented. Its loader is fail-closed: Consent Mode storage, advertising-user-data, and personalization defaults are set to denied before the CMP loads; GA4 is injected only after an explicitanalytics_storage: granted update. Missing, denied, unavailable, or timed-out state loads nothing, and an AdSense TCF grant is not reused as analytics permission. Automatic page views, Google Signals, and ad-personalization signals are disabled in source. Production activation also requires an owner attestation that Enhanced Measurement and configurable account-side automatic detection are disabled and verified. The application initiates only reviewed coarse tool, format, outcome, count-range, CTA-placement, and error-category events after consent; standard GA4 service events and metadata that remain must be confirmed and disclosed. Neither application events nor their custom parameters may contain raw calculator input, imported file contents or names, generated barcode content, labels, or downloaded files. The actual purpose, legal basis, retention setting, transfer safeguards, and consent behavior still require owner/legal review before activation.

6. Advertising

Google AdSense is the planned advertising provider, but account verification is separate from ad delivery. When delivery is enabled, Google and its partners may process IP address, page context, device information, and—depending on the applicable consent choice—cookies or similar identifiers to deliver and measure ads. Non-personalized ads are not treated as a substitute for consent where consent is legally required. See how Google uses information from partner sites, Google's privacy policy, andGoogle My Ad Center. Ad blocking does not affect the barcode tools.

7. Providers, disclosures, and retention

The current and planned provider roles are:

  • Vercel — hosting and content delivery (always).
  • Google AdSense — planned advertising; ad delivery is configuration-gated.
  • Google Analytics 4 — optional and configuration-gated; no analytics vendor script is loaded by this build.
  • Google Privacy & Messaging — consent integration installed but inactive while ad delivery is disabled; owner account configuration and regional testing remain required.

The application does not operate user accounts, profiles, or a user database, and the operator does not sell user-entered barcode data because it never receives that data. Provider-held request, consent, advertising, or analytics data is retained under the configured provider settings and contracts. Those settings, international-transfer safeguards, and any provider-specific deletion routes must be recorded during legal review before optional services are activated.

8. Your rights and complaints

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data, object to processing, receive portable data, or withdraw consent. You may also complain to the privacy or data-protection authority that applies where you live or where the operator is established. To exercise a right or ask a privacy question, use the contact page, which currently records the missing-contact state. The barcode values you enter cannot be retrieved from the operator because the application never receives them.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy must be updated before a new advertising, analytics, consent, hosting, or data-storage service goes live. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. This configuration-aware draft is not a substitute for advice from counsel familiar with the operator and its users.
