    This is why I use an open source barcode scanner. Not saying it’s impossible for them to be privacy abusing, but there’s a huge disincentive for that in open source, and people will just fork it if it does.

    But why the user doesn’t do the right thing and pay for the app? Barcode Scanner Premium Edition completes me.
