Acceptable Use Policy
Version 2026-09-26 ยท Last updated 2026-09-26
The short version
- Don't use our codes to trick, harm, or scam people.
- Don't point codes at anything illegal.
- Don't hide where a link really goes.
- Break the rules and we'll disable the code. Serious cases can go to the police.
This summary is here to help. The full text below is what counts.
1. Not allowed
Don't create or use quickqr.page codes (including direct codes made on our site, where the law applies to you) for:
- Phishing. Pages that trick people into giving passwords, bank or card details, one-time codes, or crypto wallet phrases.
- Malware. Viruses, spyware, unwanted apps, or downloads that hide what they do.
- Scams and fraud. Fake shops, fake investments or giveaways, and fake payment or parking codes stuck over real ones.
- Illegal content. Anything illegal where you are or where people scan, including child sexual abuse material, terrorist content, and illegal goods or services.
- Breaking other people's rights. Pirated content, counterfeit goods, or someone else's brand used to mislead.
- Impersonation. Pretending to be another person, a company, or a government.
- Hiding where a link goes. Link shorteners, chains of redirects, showing our safety check a harmless page but people a harmful one, or switching a harmless link to a harmful one later.
- Harassment. Threats, hate speech that's illegal where you are, or sharing someone's private information without permission.
- Abusing the service. Creating codes in bulk to get around limits, using bots to get past our rate limits or bot check, or attacking or overloading our systems.
2. Links we refuse even when they're fine
To keep scanners safe, editable codes can't point to link shorteners, raw IP addresses, look-alikes of well-known brands, or some free website and form hosts that scammers use a lot. That's not an accusation. You can still make a Direct code for these links: it contains the link itself and doesn't go through us.
3. What happens if you break the rules
We can refuse the link, disable the code (people who scan it then see a warning), or block you from the service. If we think a crime is involved, we may report it to the authorities. See section 6 of our Terms for how we decide, how we tell you why, and how to appeal.
4. See something harmful?
Report the code. A person reviews every report.
