Security & Privacy

How we protect your event data and guest privacy

Last updated: September 2026

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between guests, your display, and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols. Content stored on our servers is encrypted at rest, ensuring your event data remains secure.

Content Moderation

QR Wall provides multiple layers of content protection:

  • AI moderation (Professional plan): Messages, photos, and videos are screened before they appear on the wall, with 5 strictness levels — the strictest holds submissions to a professional tone
  • Profanity filtering (Professional plan): A deterministic filter catches disguised and misspelled profanity, and hate or extremist imagery is blocked at every strictness level from 1 to 4
  • Manual approval (Premium and Professional): Turn it on and every submission waits for your approval before it appears on your display
  • Real-time removal: Delete inappropriate content instantly from your display

Privacy Controls

We respect guest privacy and give you full control:

  • Anonymous submissions: Guests can participate without providing personal information
  • Respectful analytics: We use privacy-respecting product analytics to improve QR Wall — no ads, no selling of data, and guests never create accounts
  • Data ownership: You own all content submitted to your events
  • Deletion rights: Delete individual submissions or entire events at any time

Data Retention

Your event content stays available until you delete it — there is no automatic expiry on any plan. You stay in control:

  • Delete anytime: Removing a post, clearing an event, or deleting an event permanently removes that content — including the media files in storage
  • Account deletion: Delete your account yourself from the Account page — all your events and media are removed completely
  • Deletion requests: Email [email protected] and we'll delete your data on request

Abuse Prevention

We actively prevent abuse and spam:

  • Per-device and per-IP rate limiting on submissions to prevent spam
  • File size and format validation for uploads
  • Automatic detection of duplicate submissions

Infrastructure Security

QR Wall is built on secure, reliable infrastructure:

  • Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud providers
  • Automated backups and disaster recovery

Compliance

We follow industry best practices and standards to protect your data and maintain compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA.
