Are there any privacy issues associated with scanning the QR codes in Fez?

I want to play and enjoy the game I paid for, but don't want any spam, or to be "tracked".

Does anyone have any insight on this?


Fez's QR codes are all text-type.

All text is embedded within the symbol, so it can be accessed offline.

See? It's just text. And even offline scanners can read it

QR code readers reading URL-type codes will bring you to websites when viewed from an Internet-connected smartphone (which can then track you), but Fez doesn't use those QR code types.


QR codes are just like a barcode. They can't, by themselves, communicate over the Internet or track you in any way.

Most of the QR codes in Fez don't contain URLs, so if you are scanning them on a device that automatically opens a scanned QR code as a link, it won't work anyway.
