6.1 Safety Monitoring and Abuse Prevention
As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and trustworthy platform, we analyze usage patterns, account behavior, and content metadata to detect and prevent misuse of our Service. This includes:
- Automated scanning of destination URLs associated with your QR codes and short links to identify phishing sites, malware, and other harmful or deceptive content
- Behavioral analysis to detect unusual activity patterns that may indicate fraud, spam, coordinated abuse, or attempts to circumvent platform limits
- Cross-referencing of links and QR code destinations against publicly available threat intelligence databases and industry blocklists
- Review of content reported by users or third parties as potentially harmful, illegal, or in violation of our Terms of Use
- Monitoring of account activity for signs of account takeover, unauthorized access, or the creation of multiple accounts by the same individual to evade restrictions
Information gathered through these safety measures may be used to remove content, disable QR codes or short links, suspend or permanently close accounts, or — where required or permitted by law — share relevant data with law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We retain safety-related logs for a reasonable period to support ongoing investigations, fulfill legal obligations, and improve our detection systems. These measures are taken to protect the integrity of our Service and the safety of all users.

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure that your information receives adequate protection in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
