Some people say they worry about their personal data are scammed
or stolen when you get QR code. But I don't know about it.
Intelligent sneaky people don't say anything what they are
doing.

Chizuko, there’s nothing worry about:₽ it’s just a
convenient way to get or keep data on your phone or move
directly to a certain place on the Internet or a website. So,
the conclusion is ... tadam... People need more information
about it. A kind of promotion which might not be done by the
developers, right?

Yes, I agree with you. I don't know what system or program of
QR code , but if I book something, QG code takes(scans) my
booked numbers and my name, I think. I use a credit card to pay
but I don't think my data of credit card is stolen by QR cord.
But I can't prove it technically. I can just say that I've never
gotten it stolen yet.
I read Alharacas's thread about VPN just now. I didn't know VPN
and googled it, then I found my iPhone has VPN as a function for
security. It's for when I use the iPhone with free WiFi.
Well...it's a cat‐and‐mouse game in the internet
world.

There is a difference between the use of QR code like Blonde
describes, I.e. as a way to go to a given website and the code
you find on electronic tickets. Probably the technique is the
same but the use is different.
The first use (link to a website) isn’t popular where I live.
The second one (identification of an electronic ticket one
bought by internet) is widespread.

As Sophia and Chizuko described, I use QR code more frequently
for tickets (planes, cinema, concerts, etc).
I use QR codes sometimes (to access a website) when something
interests me, but this option isn’t as popular.
SHL mentioned about paying with your phone (with Apple or Google
pay). It’s becoming popular here (but I live at the capital. I
don’t think I can say the same about the country as a whole).

@Sofia
Right, right. Visiting some websites with QR code. Using QR code
instead of ID for getting a ticket. I use both way.
And extra info:
"LINE" is chatting app like Skpe and you can exchange your LINE
ID with your friend with QR code.
"Messager" links Instagram so Facebook leaks your data to
Instagram.
And..anything else? Living in the internet makes me dizzy. I
can't stop using though.
And...VPN...Please read Alhacaras's discussion.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I didn't expect that QR code
isn't popular in Europe, Japan, and the USA.

Yes Neal, there is only one of me I suppose. Ah, maybe a few out
there too. I think the PSL crowd would like me. Their
headquarters is in San Francisco and one in Washington DC. I`ll
have to go introduce myself someday.
I do think I’m in a definite minority when it comes to people in
the US in that not too many have a huge East German flag on
their wall next to the dining room table :)
